Communication

Here are some good ways to communicate with humans:

1) If you are hungry and they are near by, scoot your water dish or empty food dish around the floor.  I have a slate floor, and this makes a racket and attracts a lot of attention.  Wag your tail.

2) If you want to play ball, try nudging it towards people until it stops right at their feet, then stare at them for as long as it takes, wagging your tail all the while.

3) If you want to be petted, run over to someone and roll over on your back, exposing your belly, and wagging your tail wildly.  Try to smile if you can.  This is usually irresistible to humans.

I guess you could say, when in doubt, wag your tail.
