Well, I thought that getting down and eating my food from a cat bowl would impress Bunky
and make him think that we're equals of sorts. That I'm really no better than him and that I understand his ways. And we're just buds, going through life together.

But I don't think he got it. He looked at me like I was a freak. And maybe even a threat.

I'm trying something else next time.

1. Are you going to set a place for Bunky at the table?

2. Ha! Great answer!
But no. Unfortunately, he doesn't do formal situations very well at all. What with being a seasoned wild Florida swamp cat and all. And he doesn't mix very well with strangers or loud people, or those who make sudden moves either.

Your response made me laugh hard as hell though.

Thanks.

5. I'm impressed, although that's clearly a consolation prize.
Seriously, pets don't care shit for empathy. They want to know there's a big happy, rule settin', treat dolin' Alpha in charge of their pack.

6. LOL! I have a cat who likes to bite. Sometimes I'll bite him right back. He backs down immediately.

8. I've actually done this...
.
...to show my cat that the new cat food was yum-yum-yummy. I did.
.
She just farted in my general direction.
.
We stayed with the same ol' same ol' food.

9. Watchout
When dealing with a cat, you need as much of a headstart as possible, or they will start pooping on your pillows to show their dominance.
