Cinder’s most intriguing attention-seeking habit involves carrying roti, piece by piece, from his bowl to my room, to eat it.

Sometimes he looks me in the eye, chewing his roti, while I sip my tea. Is this passive aggression?

He’s trying to communicate something, I’m sure, but I haven’t figured out what yet.

As long as he’s eating, I don’t mind — there have been times I’ve had to feed him from the bowl because he refuses to eat, but a change in diet (of which there have been many) often leads to an upset stomach.

Does anyone else have pets who do this?
