tones and words

Dear Diary,

I feel the need to share some vital information with any other kitten reading this. There are certain words and tones a kitten should learn from the humans. Here is my list-

1. Treat! This also comes with a nice tone and usually a shake of the bottle. Remember this word, it leads to getting yummy snacks! It's also the downfall of all ninja attacks. Usually I stop what I am doing and run to the treat spot. 

2. Your name. This is important in some ways but less in others. For example- You get outside and Lance chases you to far from the house. You know the sound of your name and when the humans call; it leads you home. This is the good way to know it. Now the other way. Example- You are on the counter or the sink or have ninja clawed yourself to their thigh. When the tone is high and loud and they yell "BOO" ignore them. This is where you begin your training of them. Pretty soon you can get all humans to flinch with just look and a sway of the tail. 

3. No. When they say this it's usually loud and in a deep voice, very sharp to the ears. Here is what you do. Make your self as flat as possible and STAND YOUR GROUND. Do not ... I repeat Do NOT run. Make them come to you THEN run. This frustrates them and you have done your duty for the day. Of course more skilled kittens might like to do this several times during the day just for fun. 

One note on tone. This can be deceiving, so be aware of the words they are using. They can talk as sweet as can be and still telling you you're a "little crazy monster" But worst of all is saying the words "Going to Vet" in sugar tone. Gets me every time, So beware! The dogs... All you have to say is "Wanna Go" and they run to the door. Don't fall for it! Just don't!!!

So there is a good starting point when it comes to tones and words. Try them out, listen, learn and work that dominating side!
