I. Want. Your. Cat. To teach mine how to be movie-level adorable.

Wow, thank you for this awesome write-up! You didn't need to go so out of your way to teach a stranger, but I appreciate the heck out of it.
I never would have thought this could work with cats, or any kind of behavioral conditioning for that matter. It's the exact thing I would expect from a dog-training regimen. Regardless, I'll give it a shot. I think I'll see great results from the one who used to be right behind my heels wherever I would go at home. She still adores all attention, but she's a little more independent now ๐
Thanks again for the tips! You'll have a share of the credit for any future snoot boops.

I used to date a girl who was a psychology major. She was studying behavioral psychology so ever since those days, I've respected and appreciated the people who dedicate their careers to understanding the brain.
I've figured out the water example on my own after getting a water bottle for work. It started out more as a "I don't want people to judge me for being a soda fiend, so I should 'fall in line'" kind of deal, but now I really don't crave soda at work. Unfortunately at home it's like a switch gets flipped to "drink sugar now", but I'm working on it. At least I'm getting lots of water at work. I'm gonna look into the links you provided and see if it helps. Thank you!
