I don't know exactly how I tamed her..maybe because I show her a lot of love....sounds cheap huh!! hehe
I hand-feed her whenever I have time...and before I knew the truth of my wwrong doing, I used to feed her the same thing I was eating...things like a piece of chicken, a meatball, etc...and I used to lick it before giving it to her to make the taste go away (and that's how she became obess
) ... and someone told me saliva can create good bonding...I don't know if it's true or not, if it's true..well she has taste my saliva since she was 1year old.
I play with her ever since she was 2inch long....play as in: let her chase a food, let her climb on my leg, and let her walk from one hand to another. I remembered putting her on my lap while I watched NBA and she fell asleep on my lap...She is still doing it now (sleep on my leg/lap)
When I come home from work I always say hi to her, touch her and eventually she learns how to put her hand on my hand (which I consider as shaking hand) whenever I come home from work.
I do believe she is tamed because I care for her A LOT.
