I told you a few days ago about Dinah, my weird little bath-cat; now let me tell you about Manse (만세):
When I'm sitting at my desktop, he will often come to bother me, to bat at my leg, and meow. He isn't looking for me to reach down and give him scritches. He isn't out of food or water. His litterbox isn't dirty. No, he wants me to come to the bathroom so that he can jump up on the counter and I can pet him
there.
While he is being pet on the bathroom counter, it is very important that the water is running. If it is not on, he will stare at the tap, and bat at the tap. Why does he want it on? Who knows — background noise? As soon as I turn it on, he happily dances back and forth across the counter to be pet. If I turn it off again, well, it's an affront, and he does not leave the tap alone until I turn it back on.
