How to get my attention

[Tedsmum]

Ted has developed a good way to get my attention when I am on the computer, (which is quite a lot frankly).
I use a laptop while sitting on the sofa and my mouse hand is on the arm.
He comes along and knocks my hand off the arm of the chair and the mouse!
If I ignore it, he just keeps doing it to me until I give in.
His other ploy is to remove both my slippers and my socks if I don't react.

What do your fur kids do to get your attention?

Jump on us

Tilly jumps on you licking your face (not nice when she's just helped herself to the litter tray eeeeewwwwwwww) + Boris jumps up + lies behind you licking your ears

Once you move it's playtime

Nothing spectacular, but they all tell us when they want out the same way,..I dont know if one learnt from the other or not,.. but anyone of them will get up and go to one of us usualy me, and sit and look at me,..if I miss to see it then the nose goes under the hand,..if I ignore it, then Allison gets the same treatment,..this continues untill one of us says ` you want to go out` ...when they all rush to the front door

Simple,.. but they have learnt none the less

If I'm sat with my legs up on the sofa but my feet slightly hanging off the side, Dexter will do this oh-so-casual walk past the sofa, but at the last moment barge his hips into my feet. He then turns round and will give me a cheeky grin to make sure I've noticed.

If I ignore that, he starts a game of "nip mummy until I get told off then run out of the room at 100mph" over and over again.

If I continue to ignore him, he'll start barking at pigeons in the garden.... And then (finally) he'll give up and go to sleep lol

Archie will come up and start tugging on my sleeves. If I ignore him, he'll start mouthing and slobbering on my hands. Or pawing my leg.

Bonnie steals stuff.... I usualy take off my socks or shoes (maybe even both ) and they get left on the floor or the sofa next to me. Well she will sneak over and steal one if I ignore her she will come in with it in her mouth to show me that she has it and then run away outside, if I keep ignoring her she will take another one!
A few weeks ago I was clearing out all the junk in my bedroom and had loads of old clothes and shoes laying around for charity shop and the bin! well I was busy and she wanted to play I the end when I FINALLY went outside there was:

A red shoe
A pair of black shoes
2 balls of rolled up socks
A t-shirt
Pair of shorts
And an 'ugly' (ugg) boot

Jazmin's favourite is to drop a 'football' onto the keyboard of my laptop, or if a usb stick is in she'll try and remove it for me..

Little madam, typical attention seeking...

Diesel wil come right up to me stare at me with the big sad eyes look and then give me his paw?? Then when I say "what" he runs to the back door or goes to where I keep the toys!

Storm gets his toys and flips them in the air (like one of those performing seals, dolphins do) basically need a hard hat in my house as you dodge the toys . Once while watching tv in came a very large bone from the dinet nearly hit ma head Really need insurance too live here lol. All because he wants too play lol xx

my last gsd, Zymbre, was like that.
electrician came - luckily a friend - when he was going he couldn't find half his tools - they were down the garden.
Zymbre would go in their toolbag and pinch
