my cats dont know how to spell exploytation and neither do I  :rofl: :rofl:

Misa arrives on the desk at the same time every night and puts his paw on my arm and looks into my eyes and then rubs my arm with his head and purrs and if my hand goes under the desk he rushes to the corner to make sure its his tweetie box coming out...........exploytation!  NEVER  :rofl: :rofl:

I am not exploited by my boys.  Not a bit.  Ok, so I returned from PAH yesterday with several packets of treats and Jaffa made persuaded me to open every packet and let him try one of everything (amidst purring) but I still insist I am not exploited.

I'm often amazed that researchers find out something I've long known. :P
They have all sorts of tricks to manipulate us.
My Golden just stares at me when she wants food, it's so obvious and I find it incredibly funny.

 :rofl:  Do you think I could get funds for my extensive research into feline/human interaction.  How cats kid humans into thinking they're talking to us, how our cats talk to each other to the effect " my human thinks she understands every word I say, when really every sound I make is either feed me, fuss me or s*d off and leave me alone"

It appears we are all under the influence of very manipulative creatures:
