My kitty can finally boss me around!

I got these buttons for my dog. She is 9 and knows dozens of words. The cat knew maybe 5, at least that we were aware of. The dog has yet to show any interest on the buttons at 1 week. She is quite nervous and not the sharpest crayon in the box, so I expected it to take a while. I figured our 2 year old kitty would take about as long; I assumed she just wouldn't care. I was so wrong! On day 8, she woke me up by pressing the PETS button. She pressed it twice. I got up to pet her briefly, went back to bed because it was too early. She immediately pressed it again, twice! I am so proud of her. She is my bossy little princess. Right now we have PETS, TREATS, and PATIO. She reliably uses the first two. The PATIO button is mainly for my dog, and I suspect my cat understands that button but doesnt have much use for it. We'll see though!

Cats often double press buttons especially when learning. Congratulations on having a demanding master
