A jangle of keys. Putting on a sweater. A hand on the door. Pet owners know quite well that a smallest sign of having to leave the house can send are more attached furry friends into a frenzy.
Japanese Twitter user @chipie0826, who lives with their two cats, Shippi and Okome, is clearly used to that--but was reasonably surprised at a recent interaction they had with Okome before heading out to work.
@chipie0826 shared a dramatic, manga-like breakdown of Okome's reaction to when they said "Okome, I'm heading off to work." The cat clearly had different ideas.
"Hey I've got to go to work."

It appears that @chipie0826 had been playing with Okome before leaving for work, which may be a routine to change going forward if they hope to not have to deal with the guilt of turning down such an adorable appeal. @chipie0826's ability to comically capture the clingy cat's response to the triggering phrase suggests this is a common practice--which has many on Twitter jealous of the two's relationship.
