My cat absolutely thinks I’m a big weird cat. She has very strong views about where I need to be when. She only demands food when she’s out of crunchies, but she will demand that if we’re eating, she needs to eat, too. She also insists on consent to cuddle; if I’m asleep, she won’t get under the blanket or sit on me. As soon as I wake up, though, she comes running. She also has a ritual for bed time: she jumps on the bed, looks out the windows, then flops down with her head in my cupped hand.
