So, dad and I are always fighting over space on MY footrest. Oh sure, the chair may be his, but the part where his stinky feet are supposed to go is mine. Where will his feet go? Don't much care. Will he be comfortable dangling his feet over the sides to make room for Yours Truly? Again, don't much care.
This one particular night, dad was, I don't know, eating dinner, reading, doing something or other that really annoyed me. I wanted the footrest, and even though there was plenty of room for me, I wasn't in the mood for sharing. So I sat on the coffee table in front of him and gave him my best stink eye.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you how long this standoff lasted or what the outcome was because one of us has a shitty memory and the other is a cat. My point is- wait, what's our point, dad?

With you looking at him like that he should have given in immediately!
Smudge you certainly do have a foothold in your house. Us kitties must make it known who is on top. Humans are good for buying cat food and cleaning the litter box. Once in a while they're good for a head rub and a brushing.
oh Smudgie, he shood have shared better!
Dad could at least give you a pillow so you could have a softer place to wait for his stinky feet to get off your footrest. Just saying.
Have a purrfect day and rest of the week. ♥
There is a dispute over territory here, Smudge.

Smudge, I am having to stand my idiot mom sitting here laughing and the occasional snort outloud! SHE thought you were funny. *I* know the tragedy though, of what you went through.
If I got that stink eye I would give you the footrest sweet Smudge!
You are so pretty even when giving the stink eye. :) XO
Always give in to the cat, you're going to, sooner or later, it might as well be sooner.
That's the bestest, stinkiest stinkeye ever, Smudge. It would definitely have worked here!
Charlee: "Smudge! How could that stink eye have not worked on your dad? I'm pretty sure it burned a hole in the wall in front of our Dada's monitor, and that was over the Internet!"
MOL MOL MOL Smudge I'm gonna call you the winner of the stink eye stare down.Why because I expect it was so intense you stared so hard dad's food levitated
Hugs cecilia
Such a familiar scene ... probably in every house with a cat. If Kizmet cannot have the place she wants, she just stands on Mom's chest and licks her face until she gives in. Smudge, you need to work or your stink eye. We think you can do better. MOL!

It's your foot rest, Smudge. No doubt about it. Your dad needs to give up.
I have a pretty good feeling you got your way in the end! MOL
We're sorry we're late commenting, Smudge. #1 has been preoccupied with our Tama who knows the challenges of age all too well as, increasingly, does #1. But we did want to say that you are looking lovely, Smudge!
Purrs,

That is a very formidable stink-eye, Smudge. We can't imagine how anyone would dare to ignore it!
Beautiful post
Please read my post
I've taken to calling that 'resting kitty face', though I'm sure there is no malevolence behind the look. :D Be well!
