How to Brainwash Humans... part one

We all know humans are so predictable. And they think they know everything. So, let's take advantage of this. Example: you want soft food and your humans are being stingey. Easy! Pretend you're sick by acting "lethargic" (acting lethargic? it's a way of life!) by sleeping "too much", next thing you know the humans will give you extra attention- you know, scratches, cuddles, the works. But hang in there, take the attention but once every two days yak up your dry food (don't worry, this won't go on more than two days) and meow in a strange pitch for awhile. Result? Humans think you're sick, see the yak and try change your diet to something more digestible. And voila! Soft food! Suckers!
