19. I have a little cat who follows me around and jumps up near me and claws my arm until I pet him.

Of course the moment I stop he claws again. If there is nothing for him to jump up on next to me he uses me as a damn scratching post until I bend over to pet him ( again.) He follows me, prickles me, sits on me, lays on me, lays next to me, sits next to me, and walks all over me. However, I dare not pick him up. EVERYTHING is on HIS terms ONLY. They are such brats.
