Dear Sammy,
My person works at home, and you would think that she does this so she can spend more time with me. But no. She either on her computer or talking on the phone all day long. When I rub against her legs, she might scratch my ears for a nano second, but that's it. I've even tried the plaintive meow with no luck. How can I get her attention?

Dear Ignored,
This calls for drastic measures. Your person is entirely too focused on boring work if the leg rub and plaintive meow don't work. You're going to have to take matters into your own paws. You must be committed to the project and willing to risk making her mad to get what you need. First, try jumping in her lap. Not many people can resist a purring cat in the lap. If cute doesn't work, go for annoying. When she's on the phone meow loudly. She'll have to explain the noise and this will get her talking about her adorable pet. When she's working on the computer, sit on the keyboard or in front of the screen. She'll probably move you, but keep doing it until she puts you on her lap. I've found that once you make it to the lap, your person can both work and pay attention to you. Be warned, however, you may wind up shut out of the office completely. In that case, find something to destroy, so she'll want to keep you in her sights.
Good luck!
Sammy
