This is nothing. I personally do much praying and Bible studies and my 3 cats either instantly want petted and lay on the Bible, lie on their back with back legs spread wide apart, lie on their backs with their nipples showing, demand I play with them and if I don't do staged fights to force me to do it, lick their butt holes or weiners or lick in between their back paw pads and bite their toenails. Sometimes they'll take a crap, vomit or intentionally do stuff they know I don't want them to so I'll cater to them. So this cat's a saint in comparison 🤣
I also don't consider odd antics a problem. I find it fun, cute and hilarious and as much as I hate narcissistic manipulation in people I enjoy it in cats. We just enjoy obeying them.🤣 The key to avoid overfeeding is to put a few nibbles in the bowl to shut them up at least for an hour or two🤣
