How Does Your Animal Show Affection?

Garfield meows non stop while I try to sleep till I reach out as far as I can while still lying down to pet him, then he’ll pull away and scratch me. Dewey will meow nonstop when he knows I come home and am not in the bedroom, i’ll enter the room then he’ll run away. Then won’t leave me alone while i’m on the toilet.
Yeah. The toilet thing. I've had ALL TEN in the bathroom when I'm doing my thing. I mean hell, I don't stand over the catbox. Maybe I need to start. LOL
