According to Frisky the wonder tigress, two-leggers are only semi-domesticated, which means I owe her an extra tin of extra-special treat food right this minute, and if I want to try to ignore her, she'll wait until 5:00 in the morning to walk around on my head to keep me from wasting time sleeping.

He also likes running water and stereo music.

In China?
Doubtful.
In the Middle East and North Africa?
Much more likely.
And the furry little feline overlord says that human domestication is come along nicely and more scritchies.

My kitty has domesticated me from the git-go...
Scene: me, in bed sleeping
time: 0630
Location of kitty: cuddled at my feet, starting to get hungry
Paw-paw-paw means “I want something” (context of the time is FOOD)
I ignore it
She steps it up a notch to lick-lick-lick my face
I ignore that
Then she goes to the ultimate level, picks up my fingers in her mouth and lets go, or, if they are not available, does the same to my hair.

Lets go? Inconceivable! (Yes, that word means what I think it means!)

Yup, she knows the difference between my fingers/hair and one of her toys :)
The toy doesn’t get up and give her her breakfast :D
