As I begin this post I am reminded of a friend’s recent FB status update. To quote her, “Potty training success, finally! Now all we need to do is wean the kid off of jelly beans for every trip to the toilet!”
And while our Eddy Boycat is a child of a different sort, little bribes also work really well with him.
A couple of weeks ago (here) I wrote about some delicious treats that Ed received for Christmas. These pictures I am showing today were taken in between the shots I used to illustrate that previous post. All I had to do was offer a goodie and I was gifted with these big dreamy cat eyes!
It works like a charm every time. I say the word ‘treat’ and that head turns around so quickly that it’s a wonder he doesn’t get whiplash. I get such a response even when he is (pretending to be) asleep.
Of course, after I have resorted to such bribery, I have to follow through and actually give him something nice.
Thank you for dropping in!
Happy Caturday from Loulou and Eddie.
I’m not a cat person but he is beautiful! So cute with those big eyes too.

what a beautiful kitty you have!! i’ve been meaning to work on some training for ours but the treats we have are hit or miss often. what kind do you use?
Thank you Dus. We have some new-to-us treats for him that he really likes, and I also really like because they are made with nutritious ingredients. The brand is ‘My Mighty Lion’ and my mom bought them at a pet supply shop in her town. They are only available in Canada for now. Hopefully you’ll be able to find some your cat enjoys, although I know that can be hard to do. Until now, no matter what we tried, ours only went for some with questionable ingredients, so I didn’t want to give them to him often.
i’ve had the, um, pleasure and honour of bribing both cats and kids for all sorts of reasons. it works much better with cats.
I am not a cat person, but those pictures where he looks right into the camera with those beautiful eyes, I think I could may be become a cat person.. may be.
awe cutest cat ever! xO!
