With all my cats: I like to do a cat scratch gesture like catwoman from a distance while we all laze around (again, from a distance).
Its like miming scratching a non-existant surface and they intuit that the imaginary surface I’m scratching is them.
Also “we” call scratching “scratcheese” lol
I was being cute but thanks haha. People just notate is different, like sometimes people joke about Chinese-owned cats saying “Mao” 😹
