Follow up on #342343: When the cat has decided that you did that on purpose and was making fun of it, it will go sit demonstratively with its back towards you, and might even start washing its behind to add to the insult. The human can then go on step closer: sit down, back to cat, and start playing enthusiastically with something small and interesting just out of the cats sight. Warning: the cat might, justifiably, bite you at this point. Have favorite food at close range.
I am going to try out #3. I may be hampered by the fact that the distance from cat tin storage to cat bowls on floor is less than a metre. I will lower the bowls very slowly from counter to floor. Between this and the grooming, my cats will despise me in no time!
I enjoy watching my cat run laps back and forth from the door, meowing like "hurry up! hurry uppppppppppp!" The thing is, if there is food at the end of all the torture, he will never hate me.
The only issue with #3 is that cat can dive bomb you to spill bowl as you walk slowly (had a cat that would do this whenever you were holding food of any sort, in any room). Plus there is the revenge thing. I try not to tempt Fate. XD
