Treat Scammer

If there is one thing I love more than hiding in my undisclosed location, it's treats. Sweet, beautiful, luscious cat treats. I love Feline Greenies, I love the Goodlife Recipe and I especially love it when Lisa buys treats at a place that does not have the usual brands and I end up with Whisker Lickins. Mmm-MMM. (You realize those are like kitty Cheetos, don't you?)

Every morning, I wake up and I look forward to the treats. The male human gets up real early and I wait for him outside the bathroom door while he takes his shower, just in case he might forget about me. He gives treats to me while he makes the coffee. And then he leaves and I wait for Lisa to get up. It takes a long time for her to get up. She is so slow. Sometimes I have to go stand on top of her to encourage her to get up. Sometimes I have to knead and knead and dig my claws in a little bit. Sometimes that works, but sometimes she rolls over and I fall off the bed. Humph. I wait and wait, and as soon as she turns off that buzzing thing next to the bed for the five hundredth time, she gets up. I chase her into the kitchen and I wait by the treat drawer. Sometimes she'll do something else first- fill up her water bottle and put it in the fridge, move the chairs under the kitchen table, turn on the computer, but if she does that, I just follow her everywhere she goes so she doesn't forget about me. I look at her with big eyes and she gives me treats.

So you see how I have this scam worked out? They both give me treats in the morning! Double treats! I think at first they didn't realize they were both doing it, but now they do, and they still do it! I can exert such power over these humans- it's great! And I can get treats!
