Adopt the pose

Strategy 1: Bat empty dog bowl around the kitchen floor with paws in loud and clattering way suggesting someone may have forgotten to feed me.

Strategy 2: (Demonstrated here) Lie in a trip-uppable area with chin glumly planted on kitchen floor and soulful eyes suggesting that someone has definitely overlooked feeding me.

Both strategies have worked in the past and probably will in the future....

But not tonight, as it's just me here, and I know I fed the dog 15 minutes earlier!
