For most of her life, Terra could tolerate very small amounts of dairy, but now that she’s older, even small amounts will upset her stomach. The thing is, I’ve allowed Terra to inspect and sample small amounts of what I’m eating (assuming it’s safe for cats, of course). When Terra wants to try something that’s safe for people but toxic to kitties, I will take it away and tell her “not safe for the kitty.” I usually have to repeat this process a few time, but she usually gets it.
Terra absolutely LOOOOVES vanilla ive cream with caramel. She also loves a dental treat I get from her vet called Feline Greenies. I’m thinking of trying to use greenies to train her not to eat my ice cream, but I’m not sure how to do it in a way that doesn’t reward bad behavior. Any tips on how I can use her favorite cat treat to get her to stop eating my ice cream, without reinforcing her trying to steal it?
