Cats are Manipulative. Deal with It!

I must have seen at least 20 links to the article about how cats adjust their whines to make their owners feed them more or pet them more or do whatever the crap they want.

Spoiler Alert: Everyone already knew that!

I'm not saying that cats are dbags or anything, but, come on, as far as pet-to-human manipulation goes, the cat takes the cake. You're never going to see a dog who doesn't have his heart on his sleeve. You pretend to throw the ball, your dog will chase after where you would have thrown it (note: you are the dbag in this scenario, as dogs following where you're pointing is what separates them from wolves psychologically and allows us to communicate with. So stop devolving our relationship with our best friend, please!). Cats, on the other hand, use reverse psychology by ignoring you and pretending they don't care so that you get so desperate for love you overfeed them and they get fat.

The manipulative whine is just icing. And, Sunny, that's metaphorical icing, not real icing, so please remove your paws from my kitchen table. Good boy.
