So she is affectionate – lots of cuddles and purrs.

But the thing is – the back door is propped open all day in good weather. She can come and go as she pleases

Instead she leaps up on the outdoor air conditioning unit, just underneath the kitchen window…

And wails and cries at me. She makes this sad cat face.

I have to go outside, pet her, invite her in, cuddle her and give her food.

All while letting her know she is my beautiful princess.

I know. If a human treated me like this I would start talking about stuff like “boundaries” and “emotional manipulation”

It’s my darling baby cat.

Go figure 🤣🤣🤣
