My cats have never enjoyed "cat treats". They react to the word "treat", but what they know as a "treat" is a fancy food - something that they eat from a bowl - and consume at warp speed.
Every once in awhile, I get the urge to test the "treat" boundaries with them. What pet owner doesn't want their pet to nuzzle a small nugget from the palm of their hand?
Well I know that my cats are too smart for nuzzling...but I thought for sure that they would do impressive tricks if inspired properly.
So I purchased a bag of Whiskas Temptations...the cat treat that has cats jumping 12 feet in the air for a taste, or charging through the drywall for a nibble.
Bag in hand, cats in sight, I shook the bag - just like the commercial. Nothing. I adjusted my hold on the bag, and shook it again, this time with more noise. Nothing. I called out, "Who wants a treat?" Two cats came prancing along...so I knelt down, treat nugget in palm...nothing. I dropped the treat on the floor, encouraging "TREAT!". Nothing. They walked away.
Maybe tomorrow I'll throw the treats at them.
Disgruntled,
Em
