I had to look it up. My new favourite word!
omgCats never take rejection personally. However, instead of thinking "Oh, you don't want me there, fuck you." I suspect it's more like this:
Cat: I want to sit here.
You: (move cat)
Cat: Hmm, I'm not where I want to be anymore, how odd. (moves back)
You: (move cat)
Cat: I'm not where I want to be. (moves back)
Rinse and repeat until cat simply doesn't want to be there anymore and goes somewhere else.
. That totally describes how it goes with me and Trouble or Miss Biscuit when one of them sits on my iPad while I’m trying to read!
Actually this could be a great way for super clingy cats who are maybe rescues or fosters to get that sort of warmth and attention they crave from the people watching them :>![]()
It's more owners are jerks, I guess.
Made me think of Alfred Hitchcock
