have you ever noticed that cats don´t quite get what we mean sometimes? Maybe its because we don´t understand cat! Lets learn from their responses:
No - go right ahead and contiue what you doing
come here - stay where you are/walk in another direction
down - climb higher

They do understand. They just pretend they don´t XD.

Lol, that´s true, sometimes cats end up giving the human the orders, I have gotten myself into a position were I must carry my friends cat in her favourite basket around the house making pit stops along the way until she tells me to stop, and if I don´t carry her straight away, she´ll wait inside the basket for me and continue ´meowing´ at me until I do. But I love her, she´s a Wonderful cat!

Hehehehe, They KNOW exactly what they are doing. That´s one of the many reasons we love them. Plus they know it doesn´t matter if they ignore us, we´ll love them anyway.

It all depends what mood they are in. I have a tone of voice that says ´OUT´ in such a way that I get no problems from any of them - they are straight out of the room or if they have been particular naughty out of the house.

They can be very cute and try and see how far they can push you though, and I have had my fair share of "I am ignoring you, try what you may, I am not gonna budge!" and "You want to go shopping, not me, leave me here where I am nice and cosy!" and when you come home from vacation the cold shoulder where they pretend they are not even going to entertain you feeding them!

I love ´em - great entertainment (unless you are in a rush that is)
