So true, so true…
“feed me” and “don’t bother me” probably covers it for cats.
well, there is the occasional “you are sufficiently acceptable to touch me.”
I’m pretty sure that in the middle of the night one of my cats looms over me trying to figure out a way it could rip out my throat and still get its food can open in the morning. Once it solves that puzzle, I’m a goner.
