it seems like most people don’t understand “if i reward someone for doing something annoying then they learn to do the annoying thing”, regardless of the species in question.
For real. I never feed my cat shortly after waking up. So she never wakes me up, because she knows she won’t get what she wants.
I moved back in with my parents because of reasons. Against my request, they started feeding her as soon as they wake up. So now my cat wakes them up earlier every day. She still never bothers me because she is perfect. My parents complain, and I don’t know what to tell them beyond “stop rewarding her when she wakes you up in the morning… like I told you.”
Cats are dumb and stubborn. Mine start to get annoying about 1-2h before they’re fed in the morning. I solved this by feeding them later, which not everyone can do.
Do you people not train your pets?

my cat is the one who trains me
Did they learn their training techniques from the handbook?
Thats really sad to admit.

People rarely train cats. It’s weird. So many cats have awful behaviour and their owners just shrug and act like it’s inevitable.
Its sad
