I can stand outside Pop's room while TW is sitting at the computer but she never acknowledges me. I wait and I wait some more. It's frustrating cos I know she can see me out of the corner of her eye—unless I'm invisible. Can that even be possible?
Is it too much to much to ax that TW gets up and walks me to my food or Cod forbid plays with me? I always say to she "we could do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way." She always picks the hard way and ignores me. Then we both get aggravated and our tempers and blood pressure rises.
BUT whenever I'm someplace she doesn't think I should be, she's all over it. Suddenly I'm visible and larger than life.
How can I get her attention short of coming over and biting her on the leg or jumping on the desk and biting her hand on the keyboard?
What do you do when your human ignores you?
I jump up on the computer chair and lie down behind her. I have also been known to bring her a toy. Binga... she just causes trouble or screams from downstairs.
ReplyDeleteBoodie wants to be ignored.
* falls of chair in a fit of giggles *
DeleteI jump up on her lap and sneeze in her face. Works every time!
ReplyDeleteEEeeewewewweweweeewwwwwww
DeleteYou're too nice CK. You have to get up and in her face! Sit right in front of her...she can't miss you. She may try to avoid you but its impossible. Go for it my friend.
ReplyDeleteShoko
We don't care for the ignore and most of us get the facetime going!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried climbing up TW's leg, CK? That always works for me! Or, if she's distracted by something, like the computer or a book, stomp all over that thing. Purrs, Thimble
ReplyDeleteck...try thiz....call de lan line with yur cell ewe lar; when TW answerz ask...due ewe noe wear yur cat iz....afturr her freekz....then her will come lookin for ewe...
ReplyDelete{ we think } ☺☺♥♥
I like Trout Talkin' Tabbies's comment! ;-)
ReplyDelete* Howls of Hysterical laughter * Yep we LOVE the comment by Da Tabbies!!!!
ReplyDeleteGeez, I'm so cute Mommy can never ignore me! She says I'm impossible to resist. Actually, some times I wished she'd leave me alone for awhile and ignore me! --Mudpie
ReplyDeleteYou are within your rights to bite the hand that feeds you if you re being ignored :) XO
ReplyDeleteMake yacking sound - that always draws attention :-) Or loud and clear “meow!” might work!
ReplyDeleteNOTHING gets TW moving as fast as that yakking sound! MOL!
DeleteI usually do a whole lotta headbutting on the mom when she ignores me. ~Wally
ReplyDeleteSeriouslies. What is UP with humans not seeing when they SHOULD see anyways, right?!?!
ReplyDeleteMeow very loudly. ~Scylla
ReplyDeleteGo sit in her lap and love all over her.~Chimera
Talk to her chirp, chirp, chirp. ~Yin
Stick your butt in her face. ~Yang
Sound like you have a conundrum there. I'm rarely ignored but when I want my people to do something (like get out of bed) I meow at them.
ReplyDeleteI march right over there and remind her nicely, like, maybe 6 or 7 times, that it is playtime. Then no more Mr. Nice Guy. Soft Paw becomes Sharp Paw, and unless she is feeling extra-stupid that day, she gets the message.
ReplyDeleteBut the way, I don't *really* take those meffamfedameens neither, but I like her to think I have connections of my own. XOXOXO
We knock keys or reading glasses off the computer desk. We think it's rude to be ignored.
ReplyDeleteI have a table next to my desk ... Bear sits on the table all regal like and just stares. It works!!!
ReplyDeleteps - Have you or TW seen this comic about just this subject?!?! #thetruthhurts

A good bite always seems to do the trick.
