I'm not sure what he wants. I know he wants something because he usually tries to get me out of bed an hour before my alarm goes off.
I head to his food bowl to refill it, but he still runs in front of my feet and I end up pushing him out of the way. He gets in my way when I pick up his bowl to put food in it. Even if I put a full bowl down, he still runs in front of me on my way back to bed. I'm not entirely sure what he wants.
I think that is the fun and challenge of having a cat...They like playing hard to get, and we humans are a matter of convenience...
I am sure you have heard this quote, not sure of the original owner, but " Dogs have Masters, and Cats have slaves"
