Cats manipulate

Michelle is my son's cat. She is devoted to him. They are velcro together. He was busy on the computer and she wanted crunchy treats. She begged and begged. Yowled. He was busy. She gave up and jumped in MY lap. She has never done that before. She's purring, head butting, kissing. Then she gives my son the side eye. Is he watching? Is he jealous yet? She moves on to hair chewing. The big guns. Now he notices all the sucking up. 'All right all right. That display gets kitty crunches. You got my pity," I don't think so. I think he got jealous.
