It was hard to find a decent video that just had hissing, without the howling. That was a "You're invading my space and I'm scared" hiss. The proper response would have been for the human to back off.Oh no ! Poor cat is in distress !
That said, I wish I could have picked up the poor kitty and cuddled it.
1. Say "excuse me" to them.
2. When they don't move, hiss at them, as the black cat demonstrates in the video I posted.
3. When they ignore you, hiss again, very loudly.
4. If that doesn't do the trick, just bellow, "MOVE!".
5. If they don't understand (or prefer to pretend they didn't understand), physically pick them up and move them yourself.
Cats sometimes have to be trained to respond to certain words and phrases, and taught the consequences if they don't.
Just speak in an out-of-breath tone of voice and say, "Wow, I am so glad you called! The beads on my abacus broke, and I don't know what kind of glue to use to fix them, can you help me?"
And if they start prattling about your computer, remind them that you just told them you use an abacus. If they mentioned viruses, say that you keep a bottle of antibiotics right next to it every day and it's never gotten sick (this actually did happen in RL, though it was unintentional; I was visiting some people and noticed a bottle of antibiotics in pill form sitting on top of the computer tower).
Many years ago I decided to have some cantaloupe. So I cut one in half, brought it into the living room where I planned to eat it, and then realized that I'd also like a glass of milk. I went to the kitchen, got the milk, and returned to find one of my cats (tortoiseshell/calico named Maggie) face down in the cantaloupe, happily lapping up the juice and licking the fruit.No. You are wrong on both counts. Clearly it must be better. And also, it is not yours. It must also be theirs, since everything in the house now belongs to them

My friend has a kitty by the name of Dinka. She's usually friendly so sometimes I cuddle her. There was this one time when she jumped on my lap so I cuddled her and minutes later she just jumped off my lap stared at me and about a minute later she jumped back in. I was a bit dumbfounded as I didn't know what to think of it. Maybe she was in a strange mood or something ? Have I done something wrong ?

She was expressing her disappointment that you didn't puke up something to share from your latest kill.

More and more pieces of my laptop are slowly but surely beginning to fail or depreciating to the point of uselessness. My ability to save is nonexistent due to being a failure of a human being, so I'm not looking forward to when this laptop croaks for good.
Ideally, this is something that should be asked in the cats thread...My friend has a kitty by the name of Dinka. She's usually friendly so sometimes I cuddle her. There was this one time when she jumped on my lap so I cuddled her and minutes later she just jumped off my lap stared at me and about a minute later she jumped back in. I was a bit dumbfounded as I didn't know what to think of it. Maybe she was in a strange mood or something ? Have I done something wrong ?
Without more information I can't begin to guess. Could you ask me there, so we don't derail the conversation in this thread?
I actually still went (first band was good), but didn't talk to anyone :/.

Rant: When a survey kicks me out of the page because of my brower. It claims the survey only works on Chrome, but I'm using Vivaldi...which is based on Chrome. So I go back in with user-agent switcher turned on. Guess what? The survey works perfectly fine.

The rain collapsed the structure that was my Spanish language school. It was a perfect scenic protected outdoor spot on the beach, no we are going to have to move locations

Small rant: I stepped on cat poo.
I can only paraphrase the Simpsons: ‘But the Hygro's all right?’The rain collapsed the structure that was my Spanish language school. It was a perfect scenic protected outdoor spot on the beach, no we are going to have to move locations

What business is it of yours?
Keyboard's dead.
Then the fact that you managed to type this is an incredible feat! I'm sure you probably just used a cell phone or something
