Macy and Sammy,

That's good advice and I'll try it. Pitiful works and so does staring with sad eyes. Sometimes I try standing real close to one of my parents in the kitchen. Only be careful, if you get too close, they step on your tail, but it's worth it. If they do step on your tail or kick you, be sure you scream or whimper even if it doesn't hurt. This is a surefire way to get a snack. I think it's called guilt. Anyway, they bend over, pat your head, scratch your ears, feel real bad, and then hand you some food. No pain, no gain. That's my motto.
