it's so cute when my dog does this (i immediately want to hug her to death), but i always saw it as just deeper interest and maybe a struggle to understand me, more than an invitation.

when my cat does it on the other hand i wonder what kind of mischievous he's cooking up.

Heh same, I've observed when my cat strains his neck to tilt and lean, he's laser focused on something that's partially obscured, and then bolts across the room.

I've learned to let him go maul whatever ball of dust is tumbling across the floor in those moments.
