Do it out of spite.

The quote I always heard was “Actions speak louder than words”. I wonder if they mean something slightly different though.

They way I can see it is your quote “You say a lot when you aren’t saying anything” feels very passive, as in the way you carry yourself on the day to day.

Whereas “Actions speak louder than words” is more active (has that word in it alredy) as in how you treat and carry yourself around others.

Both can be seen as a way to observe the social queues that aren’t completely verbal to see what kind of person someone is. Just something to ponder I guess.

Paw at the ready to slap that snooze button.

Had a gray tabby named Dax that would fall asleep to belly rubs. We picked him outside a convenience store after he was abandoned there, we did whole found posters and everything but they kept getting torn down so after 30 days he was ours. At first he would claw and bite at any petting but we were able to get him to stop by pulling your hand away, as safely as possible, and giving a stern ‘no’ followed by ignoring him for a few minutes. He picked up that if he wants pets he can’t claw and bite anymore.
