Noel, when she's mad at me, generally puts her ears back and twitches her tail but she doesn't ignore me. Offenses meriting that response include telling her no, shaking the can at her (usually for chasing the big bad F3 Bengal and terrorizing him)... making her wait for dinner.
She did, at one point, not speak to my sister for two months. And I mean she completely ignored her presence. I have never seen an animal that capable of completely ignoring the existance of another life form. To the point where her eyes didn't follow my sister when she moved around the room. She didn't flinch or otherwise acknowledge my sister talking to her, petting her, tickling her, or even touching her sensitive spots..food my sister gave her didn't exist. It was invisible. She refused to eat it unless I gave it to her.. this reaction was to "her" kitten Tavi being killed by my sister's dog. She loved Tavi, and my sister was sitting next to the dog, holding my nephew's fiance's baby...and the dog turned and snapped at Tavi, killing her.. I've never seen a cat react that way. I guess she blames my sister for the death of "her kitten."
Kahn gets himself into a snit when he's mad. He gets into a snit about not having his food when he thinks he should, about my sister leaving town (he's her cat). About her giving attention to any other cat.
