I'm getting mental images of you chasing your daughter around the house with a camera! Hehehe! Now that would be worth filming.
"...but Mom, I don't want my picture taken!" ....etc...
Funny you should say that about the camera with your cat. It's the same with our 2 kitties when we want to:
- Brush their teeth or give them cleansing gel
- Adminster the monthly Program dose
- Brush them
- Or, <gasp> give them a bath!
They're smart cookies. Always looking at the hands. What's Mom or Dad got in their hands? Do I run or stay?
Heaven help when the carrier comes out for the annual trip to the vet. Our guys wonder whose turn it is to go!
