The kitties let me know when they are ready for attention, be it for play, loving, or food.
Andy comes up to me and goes [pat-pat-pat] on my arm while giving me a look of extreme anxiety: “I won’t let you know what I want, but I want it now!”
Dougy has another approach. He stretches out directly in my path. I have to step over him to move from one are to the next. When I get closer, he gets up, walks back and forth in front of me, making sure he gets maximum expression of his intent across: “I won’t tell you what I want, but I want it now!”

Here, Dougy makes sure I can’t leave the bathroom without stumbling over him! (Ears back, horns deployed…!)
I guess the message is the same, just the delivery is different. After it’s delivered, it’s up to me to figure out what the little darlings want or need.
Don’t worry – if you don’t get it right the first time, they’ll let you try again. 🙂
True, true!
Kind of like Dougy in the bathroom doorway, I like to walk in front of my moms while they’re going up or down the stairs – that’s the best time to catch them for pets!
No stairs here or I’d be flying!
You have got their personalities down to a T! but don’t tell them!
We watch each other all day except when we nap!
This sweet boys definitely know how to rule the roost.
That they do. One cat is manageable, but two or more definitely take over. Come to think of it, I didn’t really have better control with just one cat…!
Today is not my day,I know you know where I’m coming from
Though cats do rule
Hope today is better for you. And cats literally rule!
I like that “I won’t tell you what I want, but I want it now!” It’s so true, but luckily their needs are pretty simple, food, fun, pats …
Andy lets me go through the whole list and never reveals when I reach the one he wants! He’s a rascal.
Oow, I’ve seen that pose! Talk about being caught with your pants down. 😉
Almost literally…!
LOL 😉
I can’t see him from the throne, however. The boys still have to come in when I’m on it to make sure I’m using the toilet, or whatever it is cats need to know, but Dougy makes sure he’s in this position when I’;m through washing up and putting myself back together.
LOL, for some reason cats seem to love checking out the bathroom right when you’re in it. 😉
Yeah, I don’t know what the deal is. Andy lots of times will use the litterbox while I use the toilet. Maybe he feels safe that way. Don’t know. Andy they both are fascinated by me when I take a shower. It’s a good thing I have a door I can close or I’d have cats in with me, I’m sure!
That is what communal living is all about. 😀
And how! The irony is each of us prefers to be left alone to some degree.
My two, too. Every time I sit on the throne I have to leave the bathroom door open, or I will have some serious complaints …
Ha! Ha! Yes, a very familiar scene here, too! Dougy likes to walk under my legs while I perch on the throne, an oddly pleasant if slightly perverted sensation!
You read my thoughts – when I feel their tails on my (owed to the situation) not dressed legs … not unpleasant, but of course there is nothing perverted about it – as it is not sexual!
LOL!
