Love's special language

I told Beau that I was running across the street to Target and asked if he needed anything.

I need some cat food, he said.

Ok, wanna be a bit more specific?

Yeah, I need some dry food in the bag with the cat on it. 

Can you narrow it down a little more? Do you remember the brand? 

Nope. But the cat on the front is raising its paw. [At this point, he demonstrates the cat's pose.]

Ok, I'll see what I can find.

Scary postscript: I found the bag.
