I loved those. My now-passed cat Zora taught me a game she wanted me to learn how to play, dubbed "The Game". Here were the rules/qualifications:
1. Zora jumps up into your lap for shared affection and body warmth.
2. After a while (no certain given time), a certain section of her person becomes "off limits to you" and if you should happen to touch her in that quadrant, she reacts by acting like she's going to bite you but really she would just "tooth" you. Sort of a "Gotcha!" moment, and you remind her that she "accidentally almost ate my hand".
3. You have options at this point. Option A: INSTANT ENGAGEMENT!!!! It's on! There is nothing *but* trying to touch The Forbidden Quadrant and you must Battle The Beast Cat for supremacy. Option B: Temporary obedience/agreement. You decide to avoid The Forbidden Quadrant and continue to pet the kitty as per usual, but must never touch The Forbidden Quadrant, lest we go to INSTANT ENGAGEMENT!!!!
4. Assuming Option B has been chosen, another inconsistent passage of time passes, with you successfully steering clear of The Forbidden Quadrant, when suddenly, as if out of left field, The Forbidden Quadrant has *grown in size*, and now comprises at least half of said cat's physical body. Both options are still open to you, but...
5. Eventually, there are no spots left on the kitty that are *not* The Forbidden Zone. You have no choice but to physically engage with said kitty FOR YOUR VERY LIFE!!!! Or, you know...at least until she gets tired of The Game and decides that she's won. Again.
I direly miss The Game.
