And all cats through their slaves. They are much smarter than we give them credit for. And even that is a deception we feed ourselves.
My parents had a cat who was all about me. I could walk her, without a leash, as if she was a dog. I could call her, and she would always prefer to sleep in my room. I only had to enter a room where she was, and immediately she was up and about to ask me for my affections for her.
When I got mad at something, she was frightened - but always looked for ways to comfort me. When I was enraged, she would disappear as fast as she could. To make me immediately realize that my reaction was way over the top.
When I was away and returned from my trip to the US, she was so happy, and following me around, and bossing me around. Very affectionate. Sadly a few weeks later she got terribly ill, and could not eat anymore. What exactly happened is a mystery, but she had to be put down.
She owned me. I miss her.
