One of the most wonderful things about cats is the 'door game'.
When Ed wants to move from house to house he does the same.

Look at the door, meow, look at me.
Look at the door, meow, look at me.
Look at the door, meow, look at me.
Look at the door, meow, look at me.

It goes on until I take action, I suspect your interaction with Mister Fister is the same?
