Earlier this week, my cat, Collette, decided that I'd become too accustomed to her biting my feet. To my surprise, while I attempted to eat, she started scratching my left hand lightly. I'm not sure what her motivation was, but I half-expected her to sing, to the tune of "Just What I Needed" by The Cars, "Just when you think that I'll bite you, I'll scratch your left hand instead..."
Later, while petting her on the head, I said, "Oh, good old sort of nice part of the time Collette..."
What cat doesn't love a compliment with qualifiers?
