ancient cat folklore claims that if a cat stares at you long enough, you will turn into a pile of canned salmon. people don't know this, but many studies have confirmed this belief is true (i will not link to them, it is not my job to educate you). be careful out there, everyone.
My orange cat will get treats, go eat out of her bowl & then stand in the doorway & look at me like she's starved. If i look back at her for any amount of time she does this silent meow. She makes the mouth movement but no noise. She can & does meow. This is just for pity. "so hungry can't even meow
I don't know why so many people get sweet innocent cats of all sizes and starve them their entire lives

This guy was a stray on a rez who survived by stealing steaks from a country club. Since we adopted him we’re such meanies that we sometimes let the dry food bowl drop below half full & he has to meow for upwards of 10 minutes before we correct it.
