Tuesday Training - Roll Over

I have finally, after many many months of training, taught my mommy to roll over.

You see, I like to sleep propped up on her like a recliner (more on that later). So, if, when I come back to bed she is laying on her side, I pat her on the back to get her to roll over. Depending on how long it took for her to roll over, the patting got harder and was sometimes accompanied by annoyed meowing.

Now, after months of this patting and meowing and to much exersion on my part, mommy has finally learned. For the last 3 nights, all I have had to do is "pat pat pat" and she rolls right over and I can flop down on her the way I want, even if it is 3 or 4 times a night.

I had planned with daddy to get video of this activity, but his training has fallen by the wayside while I've focused on mommy. He didn't wake up to tape it!! Jeez. Now I'll have to work with him again.

A kitty's work is never done. Lets see, what reward can I give to my mommy??? I know! I'll let her bask in the glow of my handsomeness, and even scratch my chin. I think she'll like that.

Roll over Mommy, roll over. Good girl!

Training on Tuesday

I think my good buddy, and "bean training" mentor Yao-lin would be very proud of me and Bendrix this morning. See, I sleep next to mommy every night. In the mornings, when the alarm goes off, mommy gets up, gets dressed and then we both go to the kitchen for my morning stinky goodness. Then she gets her makeup on and hair done etc.

The thing is, the bed is soooooo warm, and it has been so rainy and cold that today, I decided I'm not getting up. Mommy called me from the kitchen, but I didn't get up. She tapped the plate with the fork, but I didn't get up. She kept calling, "come get your treat sweetie", but I didn't get up. Guess what happened.




Thats right! I got breakfast in bed!!!




After I ate, I got back under the covers, mommy tucked me in and off to work she went. I gotta say, I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning.
