Cats Can Be Very Effective Communicators

Milo and his fireplace
byu/ThaanksIHateIt infunny

Lest anyone think that Milo isn't the most spoiled cat on the planet, he has his own room. And he has his own fireplace. What else could he possibly want? It seems obvious to anyone that Milo wants his human Erika to turn his electric fireplace on for him. Milo is a very good communicator. But Erika is busy recording the sequence and does not respond as promptly as a cat expects. So he finally resorts to taking a bite of her leg. That's when he gets what he wants, and this is a mistake. It tells Milo that a bite will get him what he wants, so next time he might use that move first. See, cats don't really associate punishment with their behavior, but they understand "reward" vs. "no reward." Whenever you interact with a cat, you should end all contact the second they begin to bite.

But that's Erika's problem. We are free to just enjoy Milo's desire and enjoyment of the pleasures in life. You can see more of Milo and his sister Poppy at Instagram.

PS: I don't know why this video became mis-sized on the front page, but if you click the title, it shows up correctly.
