Give me attention!

For the past couple of days, the Mom and the Dad have been in their own little world. Even though the Mom's depression seems to be easing up a bit, she's been busy with "finals." I don't know what those are but all she's doing is her drawings and working on the computer. The Dad hasn't been home much and when he is he's always tired and wants to sleep. I don't care what they think their priorities are but they need to give me attention dammit! There I am, sitting all pretty on the pillow and they are ignoring me. This morning I had had enough. I yowled at them in my loudest meow possible until they gave me pets. The Dad was surprised that I could still yell that loud, but it worked and I got pets all morning.
