    We have an incredibly verbal cat. He will respond to his name. He will announce himself in every single room he enters. He will continue to announce himself until he is acknowledged.

      mine does this non-verbally; he’ll wait at the entrance to a room and wait for you to acknowledge him either through eye contact or voice and then; and only then; he’ll enter the room and usually with a tiny squeak of approval.

        Fry likes to sit in the bathroom and scream at my wife immediately after she turns the shower off. He will continue to do so until she opens the curtain and he can get in and play in the water. Fry does not do this to anyone else and in fact let’s you know his immense disappointment when you open the shower curtain and you are not my wife.

    Or they heard a noise and are investigating their territory.

    But yeah. I definitely get the warm fuzzies when my little goblin wanders up from her living room tree to her office tree to hang out with me.

      If you’re not aware, a cat exposing their belly to you is a sign of trust, as it is their most vulnerable area. Touching their belly when they do that betrays that trust, which is why they attack you. It is not an invitation to touch their belly.

        Unless it is an invitation. Four of mine love and ask for belly rubs, the fifth will seriously bite you. A&E seriously!

            Yeah, it depends on the cat but in my experience 60% of cats love it, 20% really love it, and 20% will put you in hospital.

        My cat is so confusing.

        He lets my wife rub his belly and loves it, but he doesn’t let me. He then follows me around everywhere all day every day, and he always wants to sleep near me.

        I play with him a lot, so I think sometimes it’s a “come play with me” and sometimes he thinks I’m going to play with him if I pet his belly, so he gets bitey.
