Rod for my own back
My little Harry cat is a sucker for a treat so when I
trained him to give me a kiss for one, I was so chuffed with myself and Harry
of course.
When people come round we show off our new trick as Harry
stands on his back legs and I bend down towards him, with a wet nose onto mine
as I give him a kissing noise and tell him what a good boy he is. ‘Aaahhhhh’, I
hear you cry, ‘how sweet is that’. Well that is just what I thought.... until
it all back fired.
Now when Harry fancies a treat he will hunt me down, if I
happen to be at my desk or in an accessible place he will clamber over the
computer, chair, another person, anything to be able to reach the treat
button.... my nose.
Even as I type he is constantly pushing his nose onto mine
waiting for the treat to appear. ‘I’m
pushing the button mum, where is the treat, I’ll push it again, and again, and
again, keep pushing it till it works!’
He’s no fool, he knows I will now do anything to stop his
wet nose prodding me when I am working, watching the television, sleeping, on
the telephone or even in company. He, he, he, h, h, ... ‘OKAY... you can have a treat if you just let me finish this’...
that should keep him quiet for a few minutes, where was I... He is a complete
sweetie and very bright.
I shall think twice before teaching him any other tricks in
the future.
