In my home, I’m Top Cat. Anyone stepping over the boundries of civilized behavior gets squirted or learns to fly! I have twelve cats (most not my fault). Peace generally reigns.
That’s exactly how our cats behave with their non-cohabitational human, IDBB. Max will occasionally sleep on me, but Feather will avoid even stepping on Jim to get to me (could give a guy a complex!)
Cleosia, I forgot about that part of the social order. I am also Top Cat in our house, but the dirty looks I get from Jim’s cat are priceless. If cats could talk, I would be getting called some unflattering names from that one quite frequently.
