    She will pointedly ignore you while endeavouring to be as near to you as possible at all times.

    You know, just so she can judge the efficacy of her ignoring you

      That’s exactly what she does. Animals absolutely have feelings

        it’s actually not even butthurt - cats are used to having each other randomly disappear then reappear like nbd. The making obsessively sure they’re near you is the enthusiastic welcome back jumping and facelicks of the cat world.

          She does it after every time we’re separated :( Refuses to look at me, doesn’t want to be patted. When normally she’s a velcro cat

            she doesn’t’ want you to know the things she had to do while inside The Joint. The pets she took for kibble! The laps she sat in to survive!

              Oh baby girl is social and crawls into laps for fun. She rolls over for belly rubs with people she knows, and in her old home she used to sit on the low wall and get pats and chats from passersby. She’s not fooling me!
