How It Works

[truepenny]

ME: This is not a good time.
CATZILLA: [blankly] what are you talking about? every time is a good time for kitty
ME: Really. Not a good time.
CATZILLA: but kitty is adorable
ME: Kitty is in the way.
CATZILLA: kitty is adorable
ME: Kitty is standing on what I'm trying to type.
CATZILLA: kitty is adorable
ME: Did I mention this is not a good time?
CATZILLA: KITTY IS ADORABLE [sits down. pointedly.]
ME: ::sigh:: [pets kitty] . . . Kitty is adorable.

We have one who uses "Kitty is adorable", one who uses "I am the MOST NEGLECTED LITTLE BLACK CAT IN THE HISTORY OF EVER!!", and one who uses the "I don't understand. It is time for pettins. You have hands. Hands are for pettins. Why are there no pettins?" direct stare.

My dog does the same thing to me!

DOGGO: *sadeyes* Doggo needs lovin
ME: I've got to go to work.
DOGGO: Doggo needs lovin
ME: But... traffic will be getting bad... & I have a deadline today...
DOGGO: *SADEYES* Doggo needs lovin
ME: *sits down, scratches tummy* C'mere Doggo. Get you some lovin.

You are a well-trained owner! :-D

With me it's been more like...

ME: I have to do a thing. You're in the way. Excuse me.
DOG: But I'm napping on your foot. I like it here.
ME: Do you want a cookie?
DOG: COOKIE! YES!
ME: Can you sit?
DOG: YES! *sits*
ME: You're so good! Can you back up?
DOG? YES! *backs up*
ME: Are you the very best dog there ever was in the whole world ever?
DOG: YES! GIVE ME COOKIES! *backs up some more* *sits* *drool*
ME: Good girl! *tosses a cookie* *goes about life*

Hee. True, she would definitely sit, stay, & slobber for a cookie. So it's probably partly that Doggo wants some lovin & Human wants to give Doggo some tummy scratches rather than head off to work.

I can appreciate that!
