With my current cats I have a clear favourite so I would go to her, and then the other one would run in the room and demand the attention because he is a needy little shit. I love him though, he just never lets her (or anyone) have a moment of peace.

Turn and walk away. Never negotiate with terrorists!

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 3 points 12 hours ago

Mate I'm still laughing as I type this comment thank you so much

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

Sit in the hall in view of both.

Put the ball back into their court. The little hellions...

[–] SaraTonin@lemmy.world 10 points 13 hours ago

Say “ma-ah!” at them.

That’s apparently cat for “come here”.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 7 points 13 hours ago

I take out a pack of car treats and now both cats are in the same room

[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 99 points 21 hours ago

The same thing a cat would do. Look at them both, give a slow blink, then stand up and walk away to go do my own thing.

Check mate kitty 🙀♟️🎭

Ask Schrödinger to put you in a box, split yourself into 2 timelines, then you can satisfy both cats.

[–] sircac@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago

Turn around and walk away, they will understand...

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 28 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Sit in the hallway and open a bag of treats

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 1 points 12 hours ago

You got game

[–] renrenPDX@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 13 hours ago

It looks like you have two office/computer setups. Black chair person goes to pink chair and Pink chair person goes to black.

Observe reaction and report back.

[–] RedEyeFlightControl@lemmy.world 169 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Sit where you are, invite them to come join you

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 55 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Watch as they both ignore you.

[–] RedEyeFlightControl@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Then you gotta play the game. Stand real still. Lick your arm. Scratch your head a little. Then spaz out and run away.

[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 31 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Then at least it's their own fault

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 15 points 22 hours ago

Nothing is a cat's fault - cats

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 day ago

That’s what a cat would do

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 2 points 12 hours ago

Came here for the comments, was not disappointed. Thanks al!

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 50 points 1 day ago

Sit in the hallway and go "Ps, ps, ps."

[–] JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 14 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

If they are my cats, choose the dark one because the white doesn't want to play, he just wants food, and will literally do this if I try.

[–] Fanfare2217@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago

There is this thing called "pspsps" did you know that?

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 76 points 1 day ago

Power move. You sit down in the hallway and make them come to you.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 70 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Refuse to participate in this no-win scenario.

Instead? Ignore them and eat a can of tuna.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They will both come running to demand you drop some tuna for them

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago

This is the ideal, yes.

If you can’t win a scenario, change the scenario.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Precisely. I came to comment simply: open a can of anything. Solved.

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 2 points 15 hours ago

Sometimes you can even close one

One is lying and one is not. How do you find out without getting scratched?

Man, just look at that dramatic ass pose. He's full of shit.

[–] handsoffmydata@lemmy.zip 37 points 1 day ago

Walk into the kitchen, shake treat container.

[–] AllToRuleThemOne@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

Doublesplit Experiment. POV: You are in superposition.

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ooh, a double slit! Do like the ol' photon or electron interfering with itself, both slits at the same time.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago

The revenge of Schrödinger's cat.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I sit right where this pic was taken from and start clicking my tongue and blinking at em. Their move.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 3 points 12 hours ago

Power move. I like it.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 7 points 21 hours ago

Pfft, easy. I always have a full roasted chicken hidden about my person. ALWAYS!

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago

Close both doors, but not enough to latch, then watch which cat caves first and opens the door

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Open the fridge and both cats will come running

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 20 points 1 day ago
[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

Lay on the ground and meow

[–] lath@piefed.social 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Go into either room, pick up the cat in it, then throw it in the other room and close the door.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

I found the dog owner

Congratulations, you now trained your cats to play this little mind game once a day every day.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 6 points 1 day ago

Choose one cat and chase it around the house. Next time they're not so sure they want to be picked.
