Dear reader,
I am trying to decide if this Lady who has brought me home is in fact actually trainable. For someone who spends her days teaching and training other people, she is very resistant to change.
For example - the other day I was enjoying a little face rub when she interrupted it to take my picture. She said I have a very serious face and she wanted to capture my smile.
I clearly gave her a look to show I was not impressed. But did she put the camera away?
No, she continued to try and make me smile.
Do I look impressed? Does this look appear to be a Tigris who is enjoying this? No. Finally, I gave her a smile, just so she would put the phone down and focus on me.
Hey wait, maybe instead of training her, this Lady has trained me! Clearly she is very good at her job as she tricked me. I am going to have to up my game.

Uh, Tigris, take it from me (JUNE, here) ... been workin' on mine, close to 5 years now. OMC, it's
ReplyDeletean ongoing effort. Success here and there, like getting brushed. As for more treats, well, that's been a total loss.
its difficult to train humans... we can not use treats, so we have to find other things to please them ;O))

ReplyDeleteTrust me Tigris, by smiling you are rewarding and then getting what you want - that IS training at its best! Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
the upshot of this training period is we all get to see how beautiful your face is, no matter if its smiling or not smiling
ReplyDeleteWe know that, in time, you'll be able to train your Lady...have you tried using extra special treats??
ReplyDeleteWe have heard she like candy....just saying ;-)

You do look like you were really enjoying that face rub, Tigris.
ReplyDeleteThose are such sweet pictures of you, Tigris. The Lady is doing a great job training you.
ReplyDeleteHi hi hi! Ojo here! I'm sure you'll have her trained in no time!
ReplyDeleteMOL MOL Tigris...humans are Purrsistent...it is best to just go with the flow after all they have the thumbs

Humans are very trainable. Just be cute and she will do whatever you want. :)
ReplyDeleteTraining a human is hard but it looks like you are putting your mom in the purr of your palm
ReplyDeleteHer methods are subtle, you may have to resort to stealth training.
