From across the room, in your shared bed, that same pleading, sullen voice keeps ringing in your ears "Give me attention, please..." "Mommy, I wanna cuddle with you..." "I'll be good... I won't bite... Just look my way for once. How important could your work be anyway?"

All the things you've heard for the umpteenth time in the while you're trying to focus and finish before the deadline. You block out the noise and ignore him in the hope that he'd just get tired and give up. But that just aggravates this bratty catboy even more. He looks in your direction, sulking and huffing even more than before.

"You don't love me anymore, do you?"

Then the room goes quiet for a minute, you think he finally stops his tantrum and lets you work in peace until he comes and sits on your lap, blocking everything in front of you with a cheeky little smile playing on his pink lips.

"Now you have no choice but to pay attention to me, mommy~"
