Mr. Bean starts with a basic meow, and progresses to a very annoying and almost ear-piercing yowl if we don't jump to his bidding. If we still won't do what he wants, he scratches the furniture, gets on the counter or (last resort) tries to bite us. (The little shit!)
The difference between DH and me at that point is that DH will do what kitty wants. I throw things at kitty.
