He doesn't want food... He wants you to watch him eat food.

Henry is insecure when eating. And he wants to feel safe when eating. And Henry sees you as safety. And he wants you to see that he appreciates your vittles. And he needs you.

I'm sure I'm not project-meow-ing.

"Hey man, watch my back while I eat. Don't want anyone to sneak up on me, ya hear? Scoundrels round hear I tell yah."

HENRY’S VOCALS CANNOT BE CONTAINED.

Henry clearly is a born leader. Do as the cat says.

OH MY GOD. I THOUGHT MY CAT IS THE ONLY ONE! Glad to know that somewhere, someone else is being tortured by their cat and forced to watch them eat lest they keep meowing at you.

Birma? Noisy little buggers. They only have one volume: loud.

[–] aarch64@programming.dev 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ragdoll, but he probably wants to be a Burmese

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

There's Birma and there's Burmese. Different breeds of cat!

Shows how much I know about cats! Birman? I looked for "Birma" but didn't find anything. I can definitely see the resemblance.

(Holy) Birma:

Birma

Partial to spider plants.

Burmese: Burmese

Penchant to eating spider plants unknown.

It is not for us to question the will of the gods.

Please provide a video of Henry meowing!

I love you, noisy bastard Henry

I love how people here adore and understand cats. So wholesome.

And do you not feel honored to be asked?

Turn him into a mukbang streamer, all problems solved!

[–] Bonifratz@piefed.zip 3 points 4 days ago

He has that Richard Scarry face

I pronounce his name the same way the French do and that somehow makes this funnier.
