Kitty guilt trips

So, it's 2:20pm and I've been out of the home office all day and just now getting here. You'd think I hadn't been home in weeks given the way the kitties are acting. How can these creatures who can't speak the english language give such effective guilt trips? They've *never* been petted, *never* be fed, and did they remember to mention that they've **NEVER** been petted? Ugh, and I need to be accomplishing stuff that requires me not to have a furball in my lap.
