If I haven’t made it clear by now, allow me to recap: Cats, not being dogs, are not motivated by the thought of pleasing you. Cats, by and large, are most definitely motivated by food. The more they like a particular food, the more receptive they are to your influence and persuasion. Hence, whether you want to call it targeted food motivation or bribery, when it comes to working with your cat, food is not just any old tool; it’s your best friend.
