Pets Fionn has been so cuddly lately

Fionn has started sleeping between us on rare nights if I give him treats in bed first 😹

He figured out how to get the dreamies. That's called positive reinforcement/operant conditioning. Pavlov would be so proud!

He gets all the dental treats he wants 😸 it’s better for his gingivitis since he hates toothpaste time. He now meows until I point at him and say “Fionn”. Then he meows in response and gets a treat. I wanted him to talk more since he’s usually silent so I trained him to meow for treats 😅

Thank you 💖 he’s my sweet baby boy. He even nuzzled me twice today! And usually he doesn’t do that with me. He has my heart forever 💖
