I have a cat who is both at the same time. He spends all day rubbing up against my legs. Like the second I come home he runs up to me to rub up all on me. Then the second I pet him he's like, WHO SAID YOU COULD TOUCH ME?!

My cat is normally sweet, but sometimes she'll stare at me and scream for my attention at the top of her lungs, then get mad when I try to pet her. I'm like girl what do you want???
