With all my cats: I like to do a cat scratch gesture like catwoman from a distance while we all laze around (again, from a distance).
Its like miming scratching a non-existant surface and they intuit that the imaginary surface I’m scratching is them.
Also “we” call scratching “scratcheese” lol
Sometimes, I have to close my cat in the bedroom if I am on a call for work. When I am done, I open the door and he immediately starts meowing and rubbing my legs. Then he jumps on the bed and begins suckling and kneading the blanket while I pet him.
