Life hack

things-that-are-great:

Got something you need to do at a certain time every day (e.g., take meds)?  Start giving your cat a treat right before you do it.  You may have trouble remembering, but your cat absolutely will not.  

Minor Potential Problem:  If you’ve got an exceptionally smart and or gluttonous animal, they WILL begin lying to you about what time it is in order to get treats more often*, so it maybe don’t do this with things that have to be done at a certain time or medications that you could potentially overdose on.

However:  this is great for activities that aren’t time-specific but you should definitely be doing more often, like drinking water, getting up and stretching, flossing, doing the dishes etc. Put your pet’s gluttony to work on your self care routine!

*Charlie’s barely smarter than a brick of ramen and DEFINITELY lies to me about how often he’s been fed or let outside.
