Hmm… so the last post and the questions suggest that cats are pondering the question of right and wrong. Basically cats are always right and anyone else is wrong–unless they agree with a cat.
Of course, this is a mildly unpalatable truth to many humans so I must coach this in more tactful terms. I am always tactful.
So, should I
- Go on a hunger strike?
- Screech at the top of my lungs until they give in?
- Hack up a fur ball in the middle of their favorite place to sit?
- Steal dinner from their plate?
- Negotiate calmly and stubbornly until they give in?
It’s a puzzle…
Screeching always seems to work in our house. You are certainly the queen of tact and I’m sure you will win, of course. But humans are dumb so make sure you take some breaks while waiting.
Screeching or the fur ball hacking. Those are usually pretty effective.
yes, screeching works at our house too. Be persistent and unrelenting!
I say screeching! Unrelenting screeching. That always works.
You definitely don’t want to go on a hunger strike. Food is one of the great pleasures in life! I vote for negotiating calmly and stubbornly, but if that doesn’t work, try screeching. You’re a Meezer, so if you have the typical Meezer voice, that should be very effective.
I’m all for hacking up a good hairball. Don’t go for the itty bitty’s…go for the gusto!
Well, we would vote for all of the above, at well spaced intervals.
But if we had to choose one, we would go with the screeching! Drives ’em nuts!
I’m in favor of screeching, within limits. I’ve met some Meezers, (although Darcy seems to have gone missing recently) and typically they have very LOUD voices. It wouldn’t work for me, of course, because I’m just a soft-spoken old lug of a cat. One thing I’ve tried to get my own way is to lounge around looking so cute and fluffy that they can’t ignore me. Humans seem to like it when I butt up against them and demand to be petted or brushed. But you should go with whatever fits your personality–unless it involves invading foreign countries for no reason!
All of the above!
Aloysius, I LOVE your answer! Of course I should just sit around looking gorgeous until they agree with me! HA!
YES, do them all. If one won’t work, the next one might.
I, of course, vote for the 4th choice!
All of the above – definitely. FAZ
All would produce the desired results, used either alone or in combination, however I find screeching to be most effective. I’ve had great success with it when I want to be picked up or when confronted with a closed door that I want opened.

I vote fur the screeching and hacking up a furball! Especially if you do them both at a grrreat time like 4am.

I’m in favor of screeching, within limits too!
