Bek is feeling rotten today so she asked me to post the Question of the Day. "Of course" I said, and pulled up my computer to get to work. Instantly, Chula appeared at my side and began gently pawing my arm - one of her ways of getting attention.
The Question of the Day is: How do(es) your cat(s) let you know they want you to pay attention to them?
I'll go first.
Paul nuzzles me and hands me his paw until he gets what he wants. He's as subtle as a truck.
Chula has an entire repertoire of tricks. First, she just sits and stares at me. If that doesn't work, she sits up on her back legs and waves her front paws at me. If I'm still holding out, she jumps up beside me and starts touching my arm gently with her paw and her nose. If I'm still not cooperating, she pulls out the big guns and knocks a lamp over. By then, I'm talking to her and patting her but if she wants food or playtime rather than cuddles, she then runs to a box and jumps into it.
I do have one defense. When I really can't stop what I'm doing, I aim a camera at her. Chula is camera shy and never sticks around long after that.
What about you?
