Before sitting down at the kitchen table, it's advisable for me to feed Watchcat Collette first. If I dare to eat before feeding her, she'll look at me as if to say, "Your priorities are incorrect. Now, to show you how disappointed I am, I'm going to scratch the back door instead of using my scratching post."
I always get up before she's too far along in sharpening her claws and feed her. You'd think I'd have internalized this inevitable sequence of events by now.
