Felix Wants Attention:
Level 1 - Light scratching and lots of eye contact.
Level 2 - Scratching intensifies and very soft meowing.
Level 3 - Ripping at furniture, loud meowing, and invading personal space following by biting any visible skin.
*He'll bite through clothes and sheets if he's desperate.

Theodore does this too. He will come up to me and meow and then pounce on me and bite/lick my arms.

He is a WILDMAN today. He stops and looks around and right after looking up at something not there, he races off again! Up the stairs. Down the stairs, Race down the hallway and back. Sometimes he will come racing up to me and stop short sideways flicking his tail around and looking at me with a wild look on his face. Wish I could get a pic of that!

Bourbon will jump repeatedly on my stomach as I lay in bed, swats my face and stares down at me like this. It would be impossible to go back to sleep then:

If I don't get up right away (5:30 or earlier) Theo will do the same thing.

Tarifa is a loud-meowing cat and she yells incessantly at me when there's something she needs to call my attention to.
Baby Su is a quiet sort of cat. She licks and bites me.
Elvis throws himself at my feet and writhes around on the carpet, giving me "the cute-out look"
All of these methods work all of the time.

Lol. I forgot to mention, my Bourbon also does the zoomies when she demands something and wants me to know it is in utmost importance! I have to figure it out or else I’d find myself picking up broken vases, etc.

By laying right next to me for about 15 seconds and if I refuse to give him adequate attention and say his name he will meow endlessly and get right in my face to block me from doing whatever I am doing

Well, heck, Richard2121 Richard2121 -- name me one thing that's more important thn paying adequate attenton to this gorgeous tigret! That's right. You can't. :lolup:;):winkcat:
