Reaching for Treats
The bad thing about treats is they always seem to be just out of my reach! Usually I just try to gently raise my paw, and lots of times that works to bring the hand to my mouth.
And if I really can't reach, I can stand on my hind legs like a dancing bear to get the treats.
Once the hand gets in my mouth, I have learned to hold on tightly so it doesn't disappear. Sometimes I must use my teeth. But only in an emergency.
28 Notes for Daisy:
When my human is doling out the treats, Binga practically bites her finger off!
Do Dancing Bears have many emergencies? Do you suppose the emergency ratio would be the same for Dancing Daisy? Can Harley Hula?
Inquiring minds... =)
Happy Thursday, honey pies!
I don't have to work for my treats. My mom just adds them in with my supper. Spunky doesn't usually get any though because she has such a sensitive stomach.
I have treat emergencies most days of the week. It's usually not a problem because I can just take them from a bowl my boss keeps in her office. However, it's really an emergency if she's not there and the door is locked. No amount of bear dancing gets me to the bowl, as I cannot walk through doors. *sigh*
Oh dear Daisy, we wish you could have the treats just tossed to you like we do evry night while TBT eats his dinner...
You have the treat retrieval technique mastered.
You work hard to get those treats, Daisy.
Good job Daisy. Glad you got that treat. Take care.
I'd give her a treat anytime!!
Daisy, you have it worked out purrfectly. MY mom would have handed the treat over with that gently lifted paw.
Awww sweetie you'll ALWAYS get treats 'cause you're so SWEET!
Love
Selina
Looks like today might have been an emergency. MOL! Have a great Thursday, Daisy!
That's a great step-by-step lesson in treat grabbing. We'll have to save that for future reference.
Have a great day.
hugs, Bugsy and Knuckles
Thank goodness you can reach that teaser hand with the treats. We just don't understand why they don't leave the out for us

Your human sure makes you work hard for your treats. No wonder you stay so petite and trim. You are your usual adorable self in these photos. Purrs and hugs from the kitties at The Cat on My Head, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
My hoomin likes to put the noms on teh floor. :)
I'm going to share your tutorial with Orange Crush (aka Waffles) ... Glogirly will appreciate it.

You are nicer than I am. I would never work that hard for a treat.
It looks like you have a great technique, Daisy!
That's the same technique that Moosey uses, Daisy. Great job!
We don't think kitties should have to work so hard for their treats, do you?
You are an excellent treat getter!
OMG! Lovely!
You really had to work for that treat. We do not blame you for hanging on to the hand
You have good balance! When I stand on my back legs like that, we call it "prairie dog." It is one of my most advanced moves.

Daisy, our mama couldn't feed us like that. We don't take anything from their hands into our mouth. We instruct them to put the treats (yes plural) in the food bowl and then we eat :)

I no how it is Daisy !
Me too have to work for my treats *sigh*
Mes wont does ANYTHING for treats! If Mommy will not gives them too me, me walks away and ignores her forever! Same with Daddy!.
However, Kozmo is a treat monster! All mommy has to does is shake the bag and like the cats in TV, he comes running!
