Watch as they both ignore you.
Then at least it's their own fault
Nothing is a cat's fault - cats
Then you gotta play the game. Stand real still. Lick your arm. Scratch your head a little. Then spaz out and run away.
That’s what a cat would do
The same thing a cat would do. Look at them both, give a slow blink, then stand up and walk away to go do my own thing.
Check mate kitty 🙀♟️🎭
Power move. You sit down in the hallway and make them come to you.
Refuse to participate in this no-win scenario.
Instead? Ignore them and eat a can of tuna.
They will both come running to demand you drop some tuna for them
This is the ideal, yes.
If you can’t win a scenario, change the scenario.
Just make sure they don't have access to where you sleep.
Sit in the hallway and go "Ps, ps, ps."
Turn and walk away. Never negotiate with terrorists!
Mate I'm still laughing as I type this comment thank you so much
Walk into the kitchen, shake treat container.
There is this thing called "pspsps" did you know that?
Open the fridge and both cats will come running
I sit in the hallway and say 'pss pss pss pss" while making a scratching motion with my hand. The cat that comes over first becomes King.
Lay on the ground and meow
pspspspsps
Ooh, a double slit! Do like the ol' photon or electron interfering with itself, both slits at the same time.
The revenge of Schrödinger's cat.
Go into either room, pick up the cat in it, then throw it in the other room and close the door.
I found the dog owner
Hey you took my answer
Close both doors, but not enough to latch, then watch which cat caves first and opens the door
If they are my cats, choose the dark one because the white doesn't want to play, he just wants food, and will literally do this if I try.
Say “ma-ah!” at them.
That’s apparently cat for “come here”.
One is lying and one is not. How do you find out without getting scratched?
Make sure they can both see me and understand that I heard their cries. Turn my back and walk away.
Meet injustice with justice.
Ask Schrödinger to put you in a box, split yourself into 2 timelines, then you can satisfy both cats.

Turn around bc I forgot my water
Can you grab mine since you’re going back?
Shut both doors, then open a different one and say "Whose a lovely kitty then?".
Choose one cat and chase it around the house. Next time they're not so sure they want to be picked.
Turn around and walk away, they will understand...
I sit right where this pic was taken from and start clicking my tongue and blinking at em. Their move.

Pfft, easy. I always have a full roasted chicken hidden about my person. ALWAYS!
I take out a pack of car treats and now both cats are in the same room
Get a bag of Dreamies.
Congratulations, you now trained your cats to play this little mind game once a day every day.
Shake the treat bag so they both come to me.
Sit in the hall in view of both.
Put the ball back into their court. The little hellions...
Doublesplit Experiment. POV: You are in superposition.
With my current cats I have a clear favourite so I would go to her, and then the other one would run in the room and demand the attention because he is a needy little shit. I love him though, he just never lets her (or anyone) have a moment of peace.
