When I'm in bed, my cat will walk up to the side of the bed and meow. I reach down to stroke her and she walks away. Then she comes back and meows again. So I reach down to try to pick her up. Walks away again. Okay, so she wants me to follow her, right? Maybe she's hungry, wants to go outside? So I get up. But then she doesn't go anywhere except the foot of the bed. Then she let's me pick her up and put her on the bed. But then she quickly walks to the end of the bed and acts like she's going to jump down. Then I have to make a big production of making a spot for her, patting the bed and speaking soothingly. Then she lies down. This little game happens every night. She has me trained.
