Shoutout to my no-phone-before-coffee rule that backfired instantly

I greeted my neighbor's cat with a full business proposal yesterday.

My dog got a counteroffer from me once.

Seriously, mine only agreed to move when I offered extra treats on the bed.

Disagree completely with the whole treat negotiation thing. Pets operate on instinct, not contracts. Giving in to their demands just teaches them to beg more every single time. That business proposal to the cat was a total waste of mental energy. Animals do not care about your deals, they only care about food and comfort. Why pretend otherwise when we could just set clear rules from the start?
