Death by Petting

 Darwin McClary was petting Dinah. Dorah was staring, jealous and unhappy because SHE wasn't being petted. I snapped my fingers at Dorah to get her attention and let her know I was willing to pet her. She was so intent on being jealous that she missed it completely. Finally Dinah noticed I was tapping my fingers. She left Darwin and trotted over to me. Dorah now realized that TWO humans had petted Dinah and NONE had petted her.

Darwin brought Dinah back over to him for petting, and Dorah at last realized I was willing to pet her fluffy fat butt. I petted her exactly the way she likes it, but her eyes remained focused on Darwin who was STILL PETTING DINAH!!

Eventually, she couldn't stand it. She stormed over to Darwin to demand that he pet her EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS BEING PETTED ALREADY. It wasn't enough that she was being petted. She needed to be the ONLY ONE who was petted.

Darwin refused to touch her. I turned back to my computer. Now Dorah realized NEITHER human was petting her. She came back to me, demanding that I return to petting duty.

"Nnnnope!" I said. "Buzz off."

Now she's sitting in the corner, looking confused and affronted, a victim of her own greed.
