Mine literally sighs and expels air in disappointment at me. Like the sound a disgusted roommate would make.

Mine too! That's how I know they understand when I do it. I guess some things are common across mammal species and it's cool to think about.

It just does whatever works. I would also be tragic if they would feed me just for that.

My cat stares me down from the other end of the hallway, runs at me, then grabs onto my ankles and starts kicking violently.

Mine will walk on your head, if you're in bed, and the food bowl is empty

Ours will attempt to get his butt to eye level, and start wagging the tail to smack you in the face. It makes me crack up every time.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I absolutely love the tail smacks. They're so soft and tingly. And I know the little shits do it on purpose. Lol

My old roommates cat would bring the bowl to you, make eye contact, and point at it while making judging noises.

My cats usually sit by the food bowl and stare at whoever's closer.

One of our cats will constantly be at your feet, like to the point where you're almost tripping on her, And if you're laying down, she will sit at the side of the bed, stare at you or pace between where you are on the bed and the door trying to convince you to get up to follow her. if you are close to the side of the bed she may stand on her hind legs like she's walking to get in your face using the bed as a support it's adorable when you aren't trying to sleep.

Grew up with a blind cat who was sneaky and mean :D

When she was hungry, she came over and rubbed her head at you legs. But not to be gentle or nice but to find your calfs and bite you. Not as hard as she could but it hurt enough to get moving faster...

My cats are always pleasant, though. It's only when I smother them that they get feisty. But they deserve it for being so frigging cute! 😹

Mine checks if you're awake. If not, she'll start knocking shit over until you wake up.
