The Cat is Invisible

Last week I did a post about how I can make myself invisible. Apparently and sadly, I seem to turn invisible at other times also.

The Cat is Invisible

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?

Would you like to comment?

  1. 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.

    Boodie wants to be ignored.

  2. I jump up on her lap and sneeze in her face. Works every time!

  3. You'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.

  4. We don't care for the ignore and most of us get the facetime going!

  5. Have 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

  9. Geez, 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

  11. Make yacking sound - that always draws attention :-) Or loud and clear “meow!” might work!

  14. Meow very loudly. ~Scylla

    Go sit in her lap and love all over her.~Chimera

    Talk to her chirp, chirp, chirp. ~Yin

    Stick your butt in her face. ~Yang

  15. 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.

  16. I 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.

    But the way, I don't *really* take those meffamfedameens neither, but I like her to think I have connections of my own. XOXOXO

  17. We knock keys or reading glasses off the computer desk. We think it's rude to be ignored.

  18. I have a table next to my desk ... Bear sits on the table all regal like and just stares. It works!!!
    ps - Have you or TW seen this comic about just this subject?!?! #thetruthhurts
