I remember when I found Thumper (cat) at the local shelter. He was in a bank of cages where his was above another row of cages. Well, I saw him first and I knew that he was the one I wanted, but I wanted Charlie (husband) to see him before I commited. So I took Charlie to see Thumper. He looked in his cage, but to be fair to the other kitties before we picked, he bent down to look at the kitties on the first level. Well, Thumper, not to be out done, stuck his paw out of the cage and litterally slapped Charlie on the top of the head. I told Charlie that Thumper was saying "NO, you are here to look at me". Thumper came home with us.
