Wylla now associates Dad with treats, so if he holds her hand out to her, she expects a handout.

How to Make Friends and Influence Kittens
Mr and Mrs Kitten Whisperer (my folks) arrived for a visit this week. To help speed up the friend-making process up a bit, my dad put a dab of Wylla's favorite treat on his nose.
It worked.

ReplyDeleteYes, when in doubt, kitty treats!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing lots of adorable pictures of these two new besties hanging out.
kitty licks!! someone come pick me up from the floor...
ReplyDeleteSecrets of the Kitten Whisperer revealed! How adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh. My. God. That's so cute, my head just exploded.
ReplyDeleteYour dad is a genius. But we knew that already.
ReplyDelete*thud*
ReplyDeleteI may have to stop coming to your site! It's just too cute!
ReplyDeleteNow we know at least one of the Kitten Whisperer's secrets! Smart Wylla, to assume that one treat = regular treats, too!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteCutest thing ever!!
ReplyDeleteFlattened AGAIN!!!!
ReplyDeleteMmmm... granpa tastes good.... :-) -darin
ReplyDeleteNOM nom....slurplette.
ReplyDeleteMr. Kitten Whisperer is wise in the ways of kittens.
Did Mimsey and Nigel come along to meet their new niece?
ReplyDeleteAh, so sweet. Grandpa is one smart guy. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe just had house guests for the first time since LG adopted us. He's been very shy around company, and I had my sister-in-law feed him some treats at "snack time" to try and break the ice. He remained skittish for the duration of the visit, and I set up his meals in the dining room so he could eat in seclusion instead of his usual spot in the kitchen. Poor kit-kat. He did let my nephew pet him a few times, so there's that. He also holed up in his walk-in closet man-cave once or twice. Now that we have the house back to ourselves, LG's feeling more like his snuggly, rubby little self. Maybe my sis-in-law should have put some canned cat food on her face. I'll have to tell her that. :-)
Cuuute pictures <3
ReplyDeleteYes, where are Nigel and Mimsey???
ReplyDeleteI do hope the treat on Kitten Whispher's nose did not stink too much! Me thinks there is a little bit of Maine Coon kitten in Wylla, floof excluded, since they learn FAST.
One treat, one cuddle - after that, payment up front, dude!
They're at home, in Iowa.
DeleteThis could not be any cuter!! Your dad is awesome :) Have a fun visit with your parents - looking forward to lots more adorableness!!
ReplyDeleteThis is no surprise at all, considering what a successful kitten whisperer he is. The pictures are just adorable!
ReplyDeleteAwww that's grandparents love.
ReplyDeleteAwwww..simply wonderful. What a great Dad you have, Laurie!
ReplyDeleteAhh...the return of the kitten whisperer...I think we all live for that! Happiness and good pictures abound when your folks are in town. :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you guys have a wonderful visit!
I'd frame the last picture---just precious. . .
ReplyDeleteYou should frame that last picture---just precious!!!
ReplyDeleteIs she normally a 'kisser' with humans? :)
ReplyDeleteHow sweet!! Hope you and your folks have a great visit...smooches to Bean and Wylla.
ReplyDeleteOh man...I can't wait for more photos....this is darling. ♥
ReplyDeleteSo that's the trick.. Treats on the nose. :)
ReplyDeleteToo bad that Mimsey and Nigel couldn't come to visit their cousins.
Wylla has learned that grandparents always bring treats! ;)
ReplyDeleteOH MUH GUHHH *thud!*
ReplyDeleteshe's sooooo tiny & darling.. her tongue!!! and paw!!!! GUHHH
I love your Dad!
ReplyDeleteThat picture illustrates just how itty bitty Wylla really is. So tiny!
ReplyDeleteBut, but, but that's not magic! I thought he used magic!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry - I think it's just a different kind of magic. The Kitten Whisperer has many secrets up his sleeves...(as does the Kitten Whisperer's Daughter, of course!)
