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

One of my cats needs a pill every morning. So when she hears me get up she meets me at the bedroom door. She and I then play follow the leader (she is the leader, of course) while she shows my all the things she wants to run her face on. Then we watch the neighborhood and have scritches for a few minutes from the window seat. Then she has her pill.

It's the first 10 minutes of my day, every day, and its a damn delight.
