If I’m
sitting at our kitchen table, I try to watch my back and that’s not out of paranoia,
but because our cat uses the opportunity to grab my attention with a friendly tap.
Sometimes it’s a gentle, one-pawed tap that seems to say, “Hey, I’m here!
Remember me?” Other times she uses a forceful, two-pawed push that causes me to
think somebody’s not happy. A shoulder tap usually means someone wants
something from us. The trick is to decode the request and decide whether we’re
willing to respond. What’s the request here?

I
discovered other cats give taps, but this video takes pet interaction to new
heights. Apparently, it’s a nightly habit—one I would discourage. What’s this
creature’s message to its owner anyhow? Who’s been tapping you on the shoulder
and what their message to you?
