I have a similar conversation with my cat, usually ending with me sighing as I open the door and sarcastically thank him for his visit.

I’ve tried (why, I have no idea) asking what was so important about going out on the deck for 3 minutes then scratching to get back in. The look is essentially, “You wouldn’t understand…”. I think she views me as some sort of large, but occasionally useful, mutant catlike manservant being.

I love that description! You've learned your real identity.

That's probably better than how I'm now viewed, which is the entity that shrieks "NO!" louder and louder after every yowl to go out. Heaven help me if anyone ever records that and it gets shared!
