Default He's giving me THE LOOK

I've gotten into the habit of giving my cats "treats" at bedtime. When
I don't immediately produce the treats, one of the cats (Espy) will
stare at me and give me "THE LOOK". His eyes squit a bit and I can
just about hear his little brain broadcasting "the treats the treats
the treats". It is just the funniest look I've ever seen on a cat. I
mean, they're not big on facial expressions for the most part, but
that squit is just too cute. He doesn't mean it to be cute I think but
it comes out that way.

Does anyone else have a cat that squits?

Oops. He squints. I'm not sure what a squit is. Seems like a good word
waiting for a definition.

If memory serves, "Squit" was a particular pigeon on Animaniacs.

Mine are not as subtle as your guy; when they want something, they
make it abundantly obvious. Jacob, however, does do "googly eyes"
when he's feeling all lovey-dovey and drooly. This comprises about
90% of his waking activity, so I see the googly eyes a lot. :-)


That's subtlety compared to my girls. The second I step foot in the
kitchen (which, by coincidence, is where the fridge is, and is by
happenstance where the raw beef is), I'd swear up and down that there were
cats coming in from all angles and dimensions wanting a bit of that london
broil I keep in the fridge for my two girls..

I have to cats that do the stare. I think that it their way of reminding you
that you are in their service and that you can't possibly sneak anything
past them.
