Yes, I’m my Mama’s boy and it feels sooooo good (as you can see in the picture).
But, I’m in a fierce competition with my
brother Rocky; not that Rocky cares, not even for a faint second, who in fact
is the mama’s boy! He just wants to annoy me! And he does! Rocky is such a mischievous
cat! I know our Mom loves us both but I was her first rescue! I was her first
“fur baby”! So, in the name of my “rescue right” I expect to be recognised as my
Mama’s boy and I want everybody else in our household to acknowledge it! George,
what do I need to do to maintain my Status Quo?
Any tips or tricks?
Cheers,
Stanley
Dear Stanley,
That is a cute pose - tongue out, paws up, and tummy exposed. Few humans could resist that one! It feeds into their innate maternal instinct for cradling.
Purr loudly and purr often. They love to listen to purring. It soothes and pleases them. Miaow in moderation. The frequent and intense miaowing made by Siamese is not to every human's liking. So use miaows less frequently than purrs. But they still work well to get attention. High pitched is better than low sounding. Run a few tests. Do your humans like one long-lasting miaows or several short ones?
Tactile signals are cute too. While your human is lying in bed rub your cheek against hers. That's a no brainer! A gentle purr at the same time will seem even cuter. Rubbing against the legs and arms is fine too. Slow blinking is another great sign of affection too. And don't forget the slow little paw pat on the face as a wake-up call (claws firmly retracted for this one).
A little gentle play with whatever toy is around will please them too. Show off your graceful pouncing. It is our cute looks that seem to turn them on. Why else have cats taken over the internet, a visual medium if ever there was one. Charm never fails.
Do all this, and you keep Rocky into second place without doubt.
Yours admiringly
George.
