The dog is now clued into vaping

[Ellen]

Anyone who has dogs (or maybe cats too?) knows that dogs pick up on all sorts of cues.

My dog knows all kinds, when I set up the coffee pot at night, he goes to the bedroom as that's the last thing I do before bed.
If I take my glasses off it usually means we're going out for a walk etc

One that I didn't even know was that I switch off (5 click) my e-cig before I take him for a walk too and this evening I noticed he got up and sat by the door when I did that a couple of times.

My dog is now clued into vaping, I think that's kinda cool

Yes, but thankfully he only drools when I'm eating sausages

The cats already know what you're thinking and planning, I think cats are cleverer than people.
I can use reverse-psychology, or anything that would fool a 5 year old child on my dog, that would never work with a cat

On more than one occasion, I have gone into the kitchen to get something, and my 2 cats have bounded after me expectantly, thinking it might be time for some food, and the experience of entering the kitchen with meowing cats scurrying round my feet has triggered some kind of auto-pilot mode and I've started getting cat food out of the cupboard. Seriously. Who's Pavlov-ing who here?

my two ickle boys must be the exception to the rule... i can put treats on their backs and watch them go in circles trying to find it ... im so easily amused ...thinking about it they are probably just humouring me

If I ever wanted proof that smoking is bad but vaping is okay, then I only need to see the reaction of my two Bichons.

Anyone smoking near them and they curl up their lips showing their teeth and then go into sneezing mode. They will also try to get as far away from them as possible.

When I'm vaping, they will both lie on my lap, totally unconcerned.
