Love and affection.
Or food both is same for them.
The predator watches its prey carefully, waiting for the ideal moment to strike.
Don’t listen to anyone. Your cat is plotting your demise.
Help you accidentally fall down the stairs?
Chew the wires to get you electrocuted?
Suffocate you while sleeping?
Whoopsie! Didn’t see that wood chipper. Sorry about.What does he want from me?
Your soul.
He’s waiting for you to do something.
Do it.
This is absolutely the correct answer. The stare sans slow blinks is them wanting you you to do something. The language barrier cuts off the meaning of the request and creates a recurring headache if you can’t figure it out.
🎶what your cat needs now🎶
🎶is food, sweet food🎶
🎶it’s the only thing that he can think of🎶
🎶lord knows he has enough in his food bowl🎶
🎶but there’s a hole in the center where he can find🎶
“You’re going to be in my patch of sunlight soon, prepare yourself.”
You gonna invite me on to your lap?
He literally hates being held by humans. He will stare at me for 20 minutes straight, but god forgot I try to hug him.
god forgot
Do you use that regularly? How cool! Or is it autocorrect?
Trying to understand what makes you think that is cool. Is there some meaning you can interpret? It doesn’t make much sense to me in the same context as the usual phrase ‘god forbid’. Or am I missing something?
Not trying to be judgmental, just genuinely curious. I wanna think it’s cool, too, lol
Oh gosh, I just think regional variation in language is really cool, and while I’ve heard ‘God forbid’ a lot in my life, I’ve never heard the phrase OP used. Turns out it was auto-correct, which I half-suspected, but I would have loved to have known where that had come from. If you’re interested in this kind of thing, I highly recommend the talk show “A Way with Words.” The hosts get really nerdily excited about just these kinds of phrases, so given that I listened to that program regularly, I’m kind of on the lookout.
Is this also because I’m an atheist living in the South? Possibly. ‘God forgot’ shows some lack of divine omnipotence, which I find kind of exciting.
Autocorrect lol.
Nothing short of your soul
You’re in his spot. Which is anywhere that you currently are. You monster.
“Clean the litterbox, Steve!”
When my cat does this, he’s trying to get my attention. If I stand up, he will lead me where he wants me to be. Usually, he takes me to his food bowl, or to the special spot we have for brushes and pats. Sometimes though, he wants me to look outside, because his nemesis, the white cat from up the road, is visible, and sometimes he wants me to open the door for his pal, the black cat from across the road. There can be quite some depth to cat communication, but as with humans, it starts with paying attention. Your cat is a cutie.
That’s what our older girl does; she’s so polite about it, she won’t even make eye contact sometimes: just sit and patiently wait until we glance in her direction and then cry and try to lead us.
Our younger boy cries the moment he sees us and then just gets more insistent until he’s given attention.
I call mine The Fabulous Staredycat Sisters. If they’re not sleeping, eating, or drinking, they’re usually staring at me, each other, or both 😄
Mine will scream at me. I don’t know what he wants but I can’t do anything this weekend because MEROOOOOOW!
Cat sizing you up: human is bigger than a mouse, but much slower. I can take him down, but who’s gonna clean the litterbox…
