Animal Instincts

What do you do when meet someone with a pet? Do you talk to the pet as if it were human? Do you ignore the owner and play with the pet? Do you ignore the pet?

I am asking because there is this cat that I am seeing more often nowadays. And sometimes I have no idea as to as what to do when I see him and his owner.

Usually I play with the cat when the owner is busy, say making dinner or in the toilet. But when I am occupied with a conversation with a fellow human. I ignore the cat. Is that right to do?

I think I have a male brain. I can only concentrate on one thing at a time.

One rare instance where I am able to connect with both the cat and the owner recently is to instigate the owner to peg the fur of the cat. And I was so happy that things could suddenly be a group activity that I shouted ‘PEG HIM’ so violently that you would have thought that I have money on it.

It was great fun to watch him claw away the pegs while being hostile to the person who has pegged him.

Clean family fun.
