@zzc Spoony THE Cat does that with the closet door in our bedroom if her food or water supply runs out at night. If I don’t roust myself from my slumber, she’ll get up on the bed, sit by my head and purr as loud as a Harley. And if I still refuse to budge, she’ll tap my cheek with her paw and lick my face till I finally give in and do her bidding.
We have to be particularly careful to keep her water bowl full. If it runs out, she will find a partially full beverage glass somewhere in the house and push it off onto the floor so she can drink what was in it.
On the other side of the coin, she loves the chair I use at my computer workstation. She’ll jump up in it and curl up anytime I get up and leave it nicely warmed by my big ass. But when I come back, I can roll it over to some other convenient sleeping spot and ask her to give me my chair back, and she will do it.
We know we love each other, and we treat one another accordingly.
