Kontextmaschine’s guide to judging the character of a housepet
- Wear something with drawstrings
- Dangle them near the pet, until it begins to address one
- Take the other in hand, and gently bop the pet on the muzzle or forehead: bop! bop!
- Note how it reacts. Does it pause its attention to the first? Does it address the second? Bop! Bop!
