He meows. Makes hard eye contact but if I touch him , he gets mad and runs off.
What? What do you want!?!?! Why are you staring at me and meowing if you don’t actually want me to do anything?!
He also seems to get mad and run off if I just look back at him and not try to pet him.
If I try to ignore him he just rolls around and sometimes does this little ridiculous “tantrum” deal where he will stand up and dramatically throw himself down and then roll onto his back. It’s always loud cause he’s a big cat. It can’t feel very good. But he does it all the time.
Idk. Maybe he just likes being dramatic.
Anyway. Any cat whisperers who have figured it out, let me know.
Izzy never does that, but she’s old and creaky so I don’t think it’s comfortable for her to lay on her back.
I had a long haired cat lay on his back to cool off. He could spread his fluff open that way to get some airflow. Only cat I’ve ever had that I needed to keep cool rather than warm.
The (non-geriatric) females tended to want to play. Dangling a favorite toy was fun for the feline and safe for the primate.
