I mean it's not so different from myself when I say I'm bored but I don't want to do anything.

My cat knows exactly what it wants when it yells at me. I just had to learn how to speak cat.

The meowing is just to get my attention. Once walk over to him, he'll walk over to the place he wants me to go. At that point I have to figure out what he wants me to do there, but it's usually food dish/water dish/couch for lap sitting.

One of my cats will sit on my lap but only if I put the special sitting pillow on top of myself. She will scream until it is done.

This is exactly why I usually say it means "Something's wrong" instead of "I want something" because the cat is perfectly capable of occupying un-pillowed laps, it just chooses not to.

That's been their business model for the last few millennia and it's worked out pretty well so far.

Lol that just made my picture a caveman just chilling and a little cat walks up and yells at him.

Do you blame them? Half of ‘em don’t even get to go outside at all much less when they want to. How would you feel if you were on house arrest for your whole life?

I would like to see this tweet in interpretive dance mode.
