My sister’s adorable ‘kids’, who I was lucky enough to babysit for a couple of months last year, are hysterical to annoy, particularly because of their different way of responding.
Tallulah, the big fat black boy, was given the nickname ‘Jim Morrison’, because he thinks he’s a rock and roll god. If you bug him (particularly if you dare to wake him when he’s sleeping - usually on your lap), he slowly turns his head around to look at you as if to say ‘So, you think you’re some kinda wiseguy, heh?’ and goes back to sleep.
Dali, the white fluffball girl, gets absolutely terrorised if you do anything, and will go running madly around the room, or do the circuit out the door, through the passage, back in the other door, before returning to where she was and forgetting about what happened.
So yeah, I agree, cats are there to be annoyed, because as long as what you’re doing isn’t hurting them, they take it as just part of being a cat.
Off topic slightly, is there any feeling funnier than when a cat decides to fluff up your stomach like a pillow before settling into it?
