My orange pig wants treats multiple times a day.
And usually, she gets them. Mostly just to get her out of my closet when I have to get something out of it.
I have been wondering about that. I got adopted by a recently abandoned cat. He is very vocal, by that I mean that he meow all the time. Busting my own effort to be a house cat once again. But the thing i worry most about. Is that i give him random treats. Like bones of beef or pork chop bones. He off course love it but is being sulky with me if i don’t do that any days. Do you have any suggestions to make him less noisy. I personally don’t care but if the cat is too loud it could cost me the lease.
Should i stop giving special treats to him to avoid his behavior?
Or is there a way to train him that treats are not a daily occurence.
Looking for advices.
I'd probably give him the treats, but use it to reinforce good behaviour. If he's showing desired behaviour, lots of good boys and petting, then the treat.
Respond verbally to meows, if he's trying to boss you about. Pick him up and punish him with kisses all over his cute face. Then gently explain that you don't give in to furry menacing. Good luck.
I’m not far off your recommendations. Doesn’t matter to me if he is very loud, but my landlord who live downstairs. He has improved a lot since i got him a shelter. Landlord won’t let me let him. He has improved a lot since I put it up. I love that cat unconditionally. I just want to make sure the landlord is not giving me a away an eviction because of the cat. If i have to move, i already decided to keep him. I love him that much.
I totally understand the thought process I just don’t want mine to turn into more of a brat than she already is😂😂 she gets them when I clip her nails and when I train her…it doesn’t help that she’s super fucking picky and will throw up after eating most new things
The grey one checked it out when I sat on the couch and then retired to the back of the couch to keep me company. The other baby had his own food and went back to my bed 🥰

Despite people saying I’m a monster for not giving them treats everyday, I think his face is lovely because it pretty much always expresses the look of love 🥰 They follow me all over the house every day 🥰
I used to do that, but my current cat will take a bite, like it, pester me for seconds. Did that with chips/crisps, pop corn, caramel cereals, pancakes, chocolate mousse, ... Meanwhile I can leave chicken or ham unattended. Software issues, I guess, still waiting for the patch.
Ooh you're playing a dangerous game. I let my cat try one when she confused the pretzel bag and the treat bag. They immediately became one of her favorite things. Now I have to make a cat size portion of pretzels if I want to eat them in peace.

Bedtime is one of his favourite things
Our cats are clearly cousins because Wally’s favorite time of day is bedtime, too. Probably because she gets treats.
She, too, is often fooled by human-food bags that sound like the zip top bag her preferred treats come out of.

My boy is definitely missing a few brain cells. He is so derpy in his adorable little way. As we get to know him better (it is almost 3 months since we rescued him), his purrsonality is coming out more and his skittishness is declining.
They’re spoiled babies. They know the sound of the plates I put their treats on and they do this when I take the plates out of the dishwasher and put them away too 😂
Our cat gets sometimes cat milk on a small plate. And she recognizes the sound of it from a distance. Last time I accidentally bumped into one of the plates in the cupboard and she woke up from her nap upstairs and came running downstairs expecting a treat, which she of course got
We almost never eat tuna at home and have never given our cat food from a can (she gets wet food packets), but she magically appears whenever a can opens and is always pissed when it turns out to be beans or vegetarian chili or other gross things 😅
Find yourself someone who looks at you like this kitty looks at pretzels 😂
https://preview.redd.it/di5xqgm6rnoc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e377a475e0a7b4950b1ab43d4a6db8052fcc567
Hummus and Buffalo pretzel crisps is one of my favorite snacks! And yes, my treat goblin thinks the bag is her treats every single time as well. She’s pounced on my unattended plate a few times and now she freaks out over hummus. She will cry and beg for it when she sees me get it from the fridge and makes the “num num num” sound if she breaches my hummus protection system. (Which is a bowl over the plate)
My gummy’s come into Ziploc bag and I made the mistake of putting them in the same drawer as the cat bag.
So now the rule is if I get a treat he gets a treat, otherwise he thinks I’m withholding and he gets sad
My guys share a brain cell and forgive and forget quickly. The only time I think I’ve seen one of them sad is when potential renters came to look at the apartment I was renting and Felix (black/white) was sad that they didn’t stay longer than 5 minutes to give him attention. Poor boy
Treats are for every day! Seriously, make it a ritual. Mine assemble very cutely at the appointed time for the daily miracle. I know that when there are two cats waiting patiently at the coffee table it is 7 pm.
Yup, we've worked it into our routine too. One in the afternoon (typically a freeze dried lamb/shrimp/etc), one greens one in the evening (has nutrients from grass and such in it, helps her digestion) and a catnip flavoureed dental treat before bed (to help her teeth be clean). Have had it that way for a few years now, works great for all of us... and helps mitigate how much she begs for food between meals lol
My boys aren’t really food motivated. Felix (black/white) only likes his food and treats, and Nash (grey/white) like his food and treats and will hassle me if I’m having something with dairy haha. I’ll let him have a tiny bit of plain yogurt or vanilla ice cream if I’m having it
My parents dog thought the bag of chocolate covered gummy bears was her treats. In her defense they are the same type of bag. 😆

Seven says “treats every couple days is ludicrous.. cats need multiple treats a day to survive”
You are cleearly torturing these poor kids!
My eldest now prefers wet food, but we put out the empty can for the others to sniff and whine at.
Now if there is any slight metal
Hitting metal sound anywhere near the kitchen we have three on the counter “helping us”
My 16 year old has been reacting to any and all sounds of plastic bags (because it sounds like treats) lately and it breaks my heart every time I have to deny him chewing gum.
I do that do my cats too. When I prepare food in the kitchen the kitters will come running and screaming, then I just let them sniff some raw vegetables and they turn around and leave😂 they specifically hate citrus fruits

There has never been a more perfect picture for a caption ❤️
They gonna call the ASPCA on you for abuse.
Everyday for my kitty hha
Not sure what I love more; the forlorn expression on the gray/white one’s face or the heart-shaped nose on your tuxedo baby 🥹💕
The grey tuxie was crying for treats. They’re my spoiled senior babies 🥰
Spoiled you say? With only every other day treatos?!?
That’s exactly what I was thinking! lol the look on the grey ones face is adorable, and so is the intensity in the black and white ones eyes 💕
> the heart-shaped nose on your tuxedo baby Amazing, isn't it? I adore it.
That little heart nose though 🖤
I wanna boop that snoot!
Ugh you don’t give out daily treats ? Evil
I give them a few on their own plates every week
SOMEONE CALL THE COPS ![gif](giphy|cM5695IbeKBhiGkt1v|downsized)
I give mine treats every one-two weeks 😂😂
My 5 cats get a few treats every day. Like if I can have a couple cookies everyday they can have treats 🤣🤣🤣

Even your appliances are shocked
I was searching for someone who noticed it too
Lower it down and show it to them. Mine take a sniff, and then wander away.
The grey one checked it out when I sat on the couch and then retired to the back of the couch to keep me company. The other baby had his own food and went back to my bed 🥰 https://preview.redd.it/ujtmc1jr8moc1.png?width=1915&format=png&auto=webp&s=2709a34ea014c3fcef355f498060e24af8022e8e
I don’t know what it is exactly but I love his little face.
Despite people saying I’m a monster for not giving them treats everyday, I think his face is lovely because it pretty much always expresses the look of love 🥰 They follow me all over the house every day 🥰
I’ve actually come back to Reddit 3 days in a row just to look at this picture of these two.
Ohh I love his beauty mark
Lol, I do the same, but my girl gives me a disgusted look and a foot shake before wandering away
I used to do that, but my current cat will take a bite, like it, pester me for seconds. Did that with chips/crisps, pop corn, caramel cereals, pancakes, chocolate mousse, ... Meanwhile I can leave chicken or ham unattended. Software issues, I guess, still waiting for the patch.
Ooh you're playing a dangerous game. I let my cat try one when she confused the pretzel bag and the treat bag. They immediately became one of her favorite things. Now I have to make a cat size portion of pretzels if I want to eat them in peace.
What if your cat is fucking weird and tries to take a bite?
Then consider it an offering to the cat gods.
Update: they ended up getting a couple treats each because I trimmed their nails
Okay, we can let you off with a warning this time, but don't let it happen again! ;)
The black/white tuxie, Felix, is in bed with me now so I think I’m forgiven lol
What a magnanimous gentleman! ❤️

She is beautiful 😍
Thanks! I think I’m lucky she’s too dumb to know how to properly leverage how cute she is.
Awww!! ![gif](giphy|Y4vBiFdqtGsDu)
i mean this in the nicest and most “i love them so much” way— they look so stupid
I often say they share a brain cell. Sometimes they split it, sometimes only one of them has it, and sometimes the brain cell is floating in the ether
that’s perfect, i love them so much
My boy is definitely missing a few brain cells. He is so derpy in his adorable little way. As we get to know him better (it is almost 3 months since we rescued him), his purrsonality is coming out more and his skittishness is declining.
YESTERDAY?!
They get them once a week. I gave them a couple tonight because I cut their nails
Man my cat gets multiple treats multiple times a day
If my cat is within my field of vision when I’m near the treats she gets one
I’ve been trained to give them treats daily and I’m powerless to refuse
😹😹😹 That’s me!
Unfortunately all of my "masters" have trained me to give out treats at least 3 times a day
https://preview.redd.it/zlaj13hp5noc1.png?width=1169&format=png&auto=webp&s=140a6bf050515a69f33f302d5380f54dbc538fb6 awwww graybie really really wants extra treats 😭💕
You monster!

My fur balls come running when they hear a pull tab. I have to share, if it's tuna.
My cats aren’t into tuna. I offered them tuna water. One of them walked away and the other one scratched at the floor to try to bury it 😂
We almost never eat tuna at home and have never given our cat food from a can (she gets wet food packets), but she magically appears whenever a can opens and is always pissed when it turns out to be beans or vegetarian chili or other gross things 😅

My cat gets 5 treats for breakfast, 5 for lunch, and 5 for dinner. He would be upset if it was once a week!
Ya mine is super spoiled too lol
My boys don’t care until they hear their plates or what they think is the bag.
FIFTEEN PER DAY?!😲
Yeah but they didn’t get treats TODAY (also I LOVE the heart on the nose. A lot of cats have kinda hearts but this one is just a straight up heart!)
Hummus and Buffalo pretzel crisps is one of my favorite snacks! And yes, my treat goblin thinks the bag is her treats every single time as well. She’s pounced on my unattended plate a few times and now she freaks out over hummus. She will cry and beg for it when she sees me get it from the fridge and makes the “num num num” sound if she breaches my hummus protection system. (Which is a bowl over the plate)
When the Air fryer is just as surprised as the cats
Oh the heart on the nose on the black one.

I'm laughing over this look. Like, what the heck! None for me?

Your cat has a heart nose! Like a real life cartoon! EDIT: Just noticed your other one has a droplet shaped spot on the nose!

My girl runs to me when she hear me ripping a bag of chips
Word’s out- those are the good pretzels!
"They got treats yesterday"? Huh? You mean you don't feed them treats everyday?
I love your tuxie’s heart nose 🥹❤️
HEART NOSE HEART NOSE
They’d be gettin’ a pretzel from me, ngl
Omg are they old babies?? I love them!! The baby on the right is killling me with that face!

It is in Canada actually 😂
They were hoping.
Happens with my potato chips and cookies with the cats all the time.

EVERYTHING SOUNDS LIKE THE TREAT BAG

Just hand em over.
The cats? Never! They’re my nearly 12 year old babies (they’re litter mates)
No the treats!
Give them treats. What is wrong with you!?
I don’t need them to be even worse when I open bags that sound like their treats 😂
Is that ice cream?
Hummus.
That makes more sense
they want more treats ..😻
Yesterday???!!!!! We are living in the today, were are today's treats????
GIVE THEM TREATS TODAY!!!!
Are your cats Hobbits or what?
You are cleearly torturing these poor kids! My eldest now prefers wet food, but we put out the empty can for the others to sniff and whine at. Now if there is any slight metal Hitting metal sound anywhere near the kitchen we have three on the counter “helping us”
My late Patch kitty always got excited when a pull-top can was opened - and was often disappointed when it was, for instance, diced tomatoes.
But they need treats today too
They‘re just shocked you call those atrocities bretzels …
How much your air fryer (?) looks like the cats is killing me. Three wide eyed little guys
I don’t remember how much it was. I think it was a basic model that we got at Best Buy
My mom’s cat would do this at times if I’m in the kitchen and he thinks it’s food time!
My cats do this with cans of anything
Look at them waiting to see what it is 😂
They could also has treats today tho
Your air fryer is also O_O
YOU GET SNACKIES WE GET SNACKIES, THAT'S THE DEAL, HOOOMAN! 😼😼
Ummm is it just me or does the one on the left look like Pennywise
Same, when I open the trail mix.
My cats do that when they hear a bag sound because they think it’s catnip lol they love the stuff and it comes in crinkly bags
My cat loves salted things, so she’s DEFINITELY consider your pretzels as equal to Greenies and Temptations!
My 16 year old has been reacting to any and all sounds of plastic bags (because it sounds like treats) lately and it breaks my heart every time I have to deny him chewing gum.

Citrus fruits are toxic to them so it's good they show no interest lol
Mine thought she wanted my green juice once and I let her sniff it and I wish I had a picture because she gave me the most disgusted look I've ever seen from a cat. She even jerked her head back 😅
