Do you want to get the most out of your human? Do you want food, or stroking, or an opened door? Think smart....
A purr may be more effective than a nip. A nip gets human attention immediately. Very effective in one way. But only in one way... And is is the right kind of attention?
A purr allied with rubbing against your human's legs might get attention just as well. And a different more rewarding kind of attention.
Humans are easily flattered. They respond to a show of affection even if it is not genuine. Try the following when you want something:
- Purr. Purr loudly and often. Humans fall for this one almost every time.
- Purr and croak. This is a purr that has a bit of a miaow in it which makes it more urgent. And louder. I recommend this when the human is not attending.
- Miaow. Loudly but not too often. If you miaow too much, the human may stop attending.
- Rub your body against legs. Always useful in the kitchen.
- Rub the face against your human's face. Very useful for waking them up in the night.
- Paw poke without claws. This must be done gently and carefully.
- Slow blink. This only works with sensitive humans who pay attention to your body language. The stupid human won't get this or notice it. And most humans are stupid.
