You can’t pet Cece in the yard. You can’t pet him in the kitchen even if you have cheese. And you will never see CeCe the part of the house that has the dogs.
You can’t pet him anywhere except on the bathroom counter. If he’s there you’re allowed to pet him as deeply and vigorously as you can and he will purr the whole way with a very loud purr that lets you that he tolerats you.
Cute, that’s a bit like my Eevee! She doesn’t want to get pet 95% of the time; but if it’s on, i get notified by way of jumping onto my shoulders regardless of where i am or what position i am in, and the loud purring commences while she clumsily remodels my shoulders into ground meat :-)
