My one likes to actually sit upright on the couch like a human (and not even this human) and like stare at me in her more "proper" stance.

Our cat gets fed small amounts 4x a day for the same reason. You feed him and 15 minutes later he's begging for more food. I've been working on extinguishing begging behavior by fucking with him relentlessly. He comes over to beg, and I act like I'm walking to the kitchen, then at the last second veer off to the bathroom. Or I will walk to the kitchen and pretend I'm going to open the cupboard where his food is, only to veer off at the last second and open the glass cupboard and just get a drink of water instead. Usually after 15 - 30 minutes of trolling him, he stops begging and goes back to napping.
