Currently moved back to my parents house and trying to look into a new place. My parents have two cats, Mr.Meowmeow and Leia.
When Leia sits down in my room, staring at me, she wants me to go downstairs and open the door to where her food is.
This is an understanding that took a month or so to develop, where I would just be confused over why she was sitting around just STARING at me. I remember when I figured this out I went "Leia REALLY just thought she could stare at me and I'd understand this???" and it slowly dawned at me that actually, she was right because, despite her choice of indirect action, there I was understanding it.
When I put on my slippers, she bolts down the hall, ready to go downstairs. She takes this as the sign her telepathic communication was a success.
Well, just now she did that, I let her downstairs, she ate, and then left the room.
...Then went right back to my room and sat down, staring at me.
I was confused. I started to get up, putting my slippers on, and she bolted down the hall in the Other direction.
She stood in front of the door to where my dad's computer is, a room she's not allowed inside. She meowed.
I am SO delighted that Leia's "sit down until this human opens the door for me" behavior seems to apply to ANY door she wants to go into.
There's something really rewarding about grasping what she's trying to communicate. It makes me happy. The fact that she can maintain a curiosity for what is behind the door even though she has never been through it and hasn't seen anyone go through it recently is really interesting, too.
Unfortunately, I can't let her in, though...
