Any suggestions on how to acclimatize Twilight to my new blender? She's been hiding

[applegrove]

since I used it. Finally came out to say hello 2 1/2 hours later. Should I introduce her to the machine when it is not on? She never got over the vacuum.

1. God in heaven! What are you planning?

3. LOL! She must not trust me.

2. Puree some sardines in it.

She'll love the smell so much that the sound won't bother her.

4. I second the sardines/tuna puree

Just don't carry her to the thing while it is running. You may die from the blood loss.

5. Oh yeah for sure. I'm not going near her when the thing is on. I can't put sardines

in my blender. Read in a review of my blender make that some staining of the container may occur if you put in things like tomato sauce. I'm keeping it for veggies and fruit.

7. LOL, not all sardines are packed in tomato sauce

Some are packed in veg oil. Just put a bit of water packed tuna in it and set it down on the floor. She will investigate it when she is ready. And then, a couple of days later, do the same thing. She will associate a treat with the bloody thing. It's all good.

8. Update. The second time I used it she stood in the doorway of the kitchen, starring up at it.

Brave kitty. Brave, brave kitty making sure mom was okay. She does that sometimes when I have a shower too.

9. Does she come running while using the can opener?

Maybe you can make her associate it with food by giving her a treat after using it and attract her with the can opener.

10. Put it next to her and let her sniff it? (not while it's running) nt

11. I thought you were talking about the book series

In which case, I'd say soak them in water and stuff them into the blender on puree.

Perfectly acclimatized.

12. I know. People always ask me if I named her after the series. I hate vampires and

zombies. I would never name my cat after a teenage series of books. I hated everything about being a teenager. In actual fact I asked my nieces and nephews to come up with a name for my cat 9 years ago and one of them came up with the name Twilight because she is black.

13. People gave some good suggestions

about the blender. I guess you can't put tuna and sardines in the vacuum cleaner.
