I heard my cat cry and went to investigate, afraid something was wrong. She was in the kitchen, staring up at the cabinet her treats are kept in. Really? When my daughter was young, I heard her confide in a friend that if she cried, she'd get what she wanted. Now this sounds like my kids were spoiled. They really weren't, but they knew how to play me:) Apparently, she let Bella in on the secret.

Sadly Jazz learnt how to open our fridge. And taught Jewel. So we have a child proof latch on the fridge to keep the cats out.
What have you got against Australians? With a name like Zoe Tempest she could equally well be a vampire hunter, a vampire or a witch. She couldn't be boring though...
Well, did you give Bella a treat? If so, then it worked.
Rocko knows to jump up on the washer and start screaming for her treats, which are stored in the cupboard there.
While camping I noticed the youngest pup following the kids for handouts.I had one cat who felt all food was his and was underneath your feet when cooking, so it was named Tripper.
Clever Bella!! Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
Ink sometimes jumps up on the microwave cart where his treats are kept. He'll drop the package to the floor, jump down, and try to open it. If he only had thumbs!
Hi, Sandra!
Bella is adorable. Your story reminds me of the time Mrs. Shady and I bought a battery powered kitty kat to give to our toddler age granddaughter for Christmas. The toy moved and meowed. When we got it out of the box and tested it, our dog Toto went crazy over the thing. We couldn't put it on the floor because Toto would have ruined it before we gifted it to our granddaughter. We put the cat in a closet for safe keeping and went to bed. Toto did not come to her dog bed as she did every other night, so we got up to investigate. We found Toto in the other room with her attention riveted on the closet door - obsessed with her new kitty kompanion. :)
Have a wonderful week, dear friend Sandra!
Yep. Your cat figured you out. ;-)
lol got you down and knows how to get a treat.
Cats are smart. They play us like fiddles....I know my two do...they know who the bosses are...and I'm not one of them! :)
You have got some seriously smart kitties!
I don't know why the countdown deals are only offered in US and UK :(
It worked:)
I bet Bella got her reward:) animals know so well how to twist our arms and we love it secretly. The cats always meow when the time is near for din din. My Wallace will start to bark at 9pm and grab his Kong because he is demanding his cookies! If I kiss my hubby good night or move, he barks with a smile and goes nuts while I walk to get his cookies.....I do it every time
Tripper, what a perfect name. Love it. And they sure can:)
You too, my friend.
He's probably thinking the same thing! :)
Poor Toto. That's too funny:)
They always do:) How are you, Misha?
My parents' dog likes to climb into the box where the treats are kept; she tries to open the bag herself until I finally open it for her and give her a treat.
Oh, our pets know how to play us, very well!
Indeed, Pat:)
I have one of those Bellas, too. But mine only gets treats when I feel like it. By rewarding only occasionally, Squiggles has been conditioned.
Sounds like a good buy on Amazon.

Wonderful post and picture.

Lizzie wails all the time. Sometimes for food but mostly she either wants me to call the birds (sorry, I'm not Cinderella!) or watch her eat. As soon as I pat her rump she'll eat. This gets very old!
Bella is simply beautiful! No wonder you named her that!
Grin. Isn't that the truth?:)
They sure know how to work us:)
Grin. They sure like their treats don't they?
They sure do, Susan;)
Oh mine are conditioned alright but probably not as well as Squiggles. Grin. Actually, it's how I got Bella to use her scratching post. Now it's whenever I'm in the kitchen:)
Thanks:)
Bella thanks you.
Don't give her anymore ideas;)
That silly Lizzie:)
Bella thanks you:)
LOL! Love Bella's trick!
Grin;)
Crying is hard to resist! Our pets are so smart. :)

My dog doesn't cry. She just watches to see if you're going to the kitchen every time she comes in from outside...then gives you a sad look of disappointment if you don't get a treat for her!
The crying can only be stopped by a continued resistance to such pleas. Doesn't EC have very clever cats!
Did she get a treat?? So cute! When I babysit my brother's cats, they get spoiled! He hates to come home, after I've been there! LOL!
They sure are, Jess.
I'm guessing that works,:)
Doesn't she indeed! Amazing.
It's in your job description....:)
It's their cute faces! Our dog cries and gets his doggy icecream.
