Thing is, I usually know what Mulan wants, but Idris? Not a clue. I showed her the strawberry I was cutting (she was sitting at my feet howling like I'd fed her tail-first into a blender) pointing out that she didn't want it.

She hooked it out of my hand and started sniffing it like Sherlock investigating a homicide.

My (not) favorite is when you're holding them and they're purring like outboard motors while simultaneously wailing and squirming to be put down.
