I am not exploited by my boys.  Not a bit.  Ok, so I returned from PAH yesterday with several packets of treats and Jaffa made persuaded me to open every packet and let him try one of everything (amidst purring) but I still insist I am not exploited.

I'm often amazed that researchers find out something I've long known. :P
They have all sorts of tricks to manipulate us.
My Golden just stares at me when she wants food, it's so obvious and I find it incredibly funny.

 :rofl:  Do you think I could get funds for my extensive research into feline/human interaction.  How cats kid humans into thinking they're talking to us, how our cats talk to each other to the effect " my human thinks she understands every word I say, when really every sound I make is either feed me, fuss me or s*d off and leave me alone"

It appears we are all under the influence of very manipulative creatures:
