Sometimes it looks very much like bad mood: Example: Tigris who is a little spoiled with food tells me that he cannot eat the same food again and asks me to give him something different (smoked mouse liver pate if you ask me) (Actually he stands in front of me and meows in my face). I tell him: No this food is good for you and you'll have nothing else. He seems to understand quite well but in the next moment he wakes Filou roughly and chases him through the house......
I know that this is a human interpretation -but I am wondering how I should call it
