It's what I'm doing now. Although it's really hard sometimes. I'm frequently busy at my computer, and ignoring her means she'll walk all over my desk and stare at me for a few minutes which is very frustrating.
Obviously I'm trying not to encourage her annoying behaviors, but sometimes I don't have the time to be patient.
She's ready eating off a plate lol. I say bowl as a colloquial term. She really has nothing to complain about other than my lack of immediate attention.
