What Really Happened?
The human is starting to do a few dishes, and hearing the clinks, Cloud comes running. Now mind you, we have already had our breakfasts - that is to say, Cloud had hers, and also some of the human's. When no additional food is forthcoming, Cloud resorts to the look - you know, the eyes like laser beams, intended to elicit at least guilt if not actual food. So, eyes locked on human, Cloud does not notice when AreToo comes up beside her and sweetly sniffs her face. Whap! She does it wihout ever shifting her eyes from the human. And AreToo barely even flinches. The question is this: Was it a purely symbolic whap, or did she miss...?

YES! I know that look!
Sir Chumley of Amherst, the black cat of a friend of mine, uses his laser look when he wants his treats. He sits still as a sphynx and stares at her for minutes on end. She discovered a particular treat recently that is going to send her to the poor house: freeze-dried mackerel treats from Cost Plus. They come in a little tin and cost $5 each.
I think trying to supply 922 cats would send you into bankruptcy, so I'm almost afraid to recommend this treat. Chumley hears the sound of the tin and comes running and scoots up on the couch with alacrity, then scarfs down his portion that she pours into the tin. He is almost frantic in his haste. It's like catnip to him. He used to like the cheaper Temptations treats, but they never elicited this response!
