waiting with baited breath

What a cat does by eating cheese and then hiding silently near a mouse-hole for a furry varmint to come out looking for da source of da delicious aroma.
Garfield is shown to easily catch multiple mice --- i.e., one underneath each foot --- without even trying very hard, and so it's possible dat he was "waiting with baited breath", and so da mice just flocked to him. Or of course, it could also merely be dat said speedy specimens of omnivorous opportunity have learned by now dat said tubby tabby never actually eats da mice he catches or otherwise harms them in any way, and so they are less watchful 'n' wary around Jon's house than they might be in other people's domiciles where da resident felines actually may hunt said rodents for real.

POG Bait

A military term that is used to describe anything that makes a POG, or a Personnel Other than Grunt, feel better about their military service.

While some military members have violent acts of service and heroism, or even sweat on their brow to validate their military service, POG Bait serves as a tangible reminder, such as a challenge coin, or a certificate of commendation, that the service member was exceptionally good at their low-risk desk job, and should feel very very good about themselves.
"The Battalion Commander gave me challenge coin because I have been doing such a good job at filling out this Excel Document!"

"Yeah dude... couldn't you be doing that in a corporate office? That's just POG Bait!"
