Stupid Human Tricks

One of my favorite treats!

 I'm sure y'all have seen them old Letterman "Stupid Pet Tricks" bits, but check this out-  I've gotten mom and dad to perform like trained monkeys, and they don't even realize it.  


Notice how I've got dad begging me to "Be nice."? That's because I've had to put the bitey on his fingers a few times early on in his training.  If they only had an inkling that they're trained to do this trick for my enjoyment entirely they'd be all, like, "What are we, circus animals?!"  Oh, if they only knew.  Whenever I want a treat all I have to do is sit up on my hind quarters, and along they come, practically pouring these tasty morsels into my mouth.  How's that for ruling the roost?

oh Cleo, how wonderful u have ur humans trained, and they have
thumbs to do it with. lynn is not trained for anything like that.
of course, i've not shown an interest in sitting up like that. maybe
i need to learn how then lynn might get the hint. precious

I am impressed, Cleo. You have your humans trained to a very high standard.

Humans aren't very bright are they, Cleo. Not nearly as smart as kitties. I'm so happy you have them trained to do your bidding.

Have a purrfect day. ♥

Cleo-Wow! Human training! Queen Nellie trained our peeps Dad used to give us treats every time we came in the house. Mom does NOT. Kozmo is trying to train Mom...he yells at the top of his lungs and walks back in forth in front of the treat container, so far he has had no luck. We shall rewatch your video to see your technique! Thanks for visiting and have a marvellously happy day!

Bravo sweet Cleo, you sure mastered the treat getting!

You did awesome, Cleo! Binga never learned to "be nice" - my human practically tossed treats at her for fear of her mighty jaws!

Great work Cleo you have them reaching down with the goods on command. I keep trying to explain to Einstein that you have to give a reward and not just Bitey. We get so many more treats than he does. I have Dad trained to hold a treat as I pull it to my mouth and take it nice as can be.

Amazing! I always put the bitey on the humans to train them. I used to post a series on their stupid human tricks. I think I was up to 3536.

You've done a great job of training them Cleo. Like you couldn't do that any time you wanted...but if you didn't before it's 'cuz you didn't want to. Keep 'em guessing Cleo!
