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

"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 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.

HENRY’S VOCALS CANNOT BE CONTAINED.

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

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

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

[-] aarch64@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago

Ragdoll, but he probably wants to be a Burmese

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.

I love you, noisy bastard Henry

[-] chellomere@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Please provide a video of Henry meowing!

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

Turn him into a mukbang streamer, all problems solved!

And do you not feel honored to be asked?

[-] Bonifratz@piefed.zip 3 points 1 month ago

He has that Richard Scarry face

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.

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