How does one get a cat to leave them alone?

I don't know but it is irritating.

Have you tried just petting it to see?

I don't want to pet it.

Do you want to pet it?

[She kinda does want to pet it. But she doesn't know Simon from a whole in the head so she just asks:]

Why don't you want to pet it?

I just don't.

It's just a cat.

That is true.

So why is it such a big deal?

It just... is.

[ complicated. ]

That sounds dumb. It's a cat.

Do you not want to pet it then?

I don't know you. I'm not going to come to your house over promises for a cat.

[She's not an idiot here, ambiguity person.]

Then don't.

You pet the cat! It's your cat!

It's not mine.

Sure doesn't sound like it.

I do not claim it.
