I swear Douglas just had a full on conversation with our cat just now.

Cat: Meow!
Doug: Stop approaching me with your claws out.
Cat: Meow?
Doug: I know it’s crazy, but most animals don’t need their claws out to say hi.
Cat: Meow!
Doug: Why would I lie to you? Just be chill, man. I don’t mind petting you if you need it. I just don’t like being scratched.
Cat: (walks away from Doug. Stops. Turns his head to look at Doug then) Meow (resumes walking away).
Doug: Whatever then!
