Respect

When her friend was here, my human referred to me as 'the cat' and practically ignored my attempts to join in the conversation. I felt rather annoyed and refused to take her for her walkies. Well, we had a few steps this way and that, and then I ran inside and even managed to get through the cat door with my lead still on. 

'Why are you sulking  my beloved little friend,' she says to me.

Humans are so insensitive. My toys aren't even out.
