Unrhetorical question

When you have an answer to a question but the person you are asking is not allowed to answer your question but the question makes the reader/person being asked the question think like a normal rhetorical question
"Don't I look adorable? " the answer is yes but the person being asked the question is not allowed to answer because that is the rules of an unrhetorical question.

Begging the question

When the evidence to support a person’s argument is the argument itself, just restated or said differently. Usually when the person making the claim can’t think of any reasons to support their own claim.
Person 1: Dogs are better than cats because they just are.
Person 2: What do you mean they “just are”? What is your proof?
Person 1: They’re just better ok, now will you shut up?
Person 2: Not until you stop begging the question!
Person 2 (in their mind): God this fucking guy
