That's exactly what someone preparing a snack would say...

My cat and I play a game where I ask, "Do you want a [word other than treat]?" five or six times before asking if he wants a treat, to teach him that not all questions mean treats are about to be given.

It's insane the force with which he turns his face away from me, as if to say, "Excuse me but I really need to be in the kitchen right now, treats are about to be given," when I ask if he wants a telephone. No matter how many times I tell him he has misheard, he simply does not believe me.

Maybe he has a really important call he wants to make in the kitchen

Had not considered this. The rate at which I'm offering telephones and then withholding them is actually criminal.

Just because you own the cat, doesn't mean you own its thoughts

I mean, how many times do you go to the kitchen and come out with snacks?

Can you really blame the cat for this?

you can't own another living creature. They aren't property. You are companions with them.

They said you can't. Your cat can own whatever it wants, and does if you ask them.

Yes, Iโ€™ve been the subject of this small god for two decades. His rule is absolute.

Oh gods, I'm a cat.
