I have this rule that when the foodtime song plays, those are the only FoodTimes and if cats violate that contract by begging for food near the foodarea, I start following them singing "You still belong to meeee-eeeeee" and get increasingly more intrusive of their personal space while tailing them until they've taken initative to shake me off by retreating to one of the designated Sanctuary/Uncle-Zones, miles away from the feedingHole

Kinda like when people follow you in their car and its like bumper to bumper almost but not quite. It works too kinda, haha. I definitely get a kick out of it, some good clean harmless family shenanigans

Also my youngest delights when I annoy and tease her with the fingertrap i get my weed vapor cartridges
