Are you a cat owner? Are you sure about that? Who caters to her resident feline's every need? Who dotes upon her demanding little dictator? Who can be put in her place with just one look of disdain from the kitty in the corner?
If any of the following scenarios sound familiar, the "owner" status in your home may have shifted without your even realizing it.

Dogs have owners, Cats have staff.
Damn! So THAT”s my problem! (Guilty on all counts.)
That's why DOGS are helper dogs, lead the blind, fetch for the bed-ridden and other tasks. God gave them to us as a TREMENDOUS gift!
Cats are pillows that poop. I love'em too!
I have suffer the wrath of both of my cats....both with angry scowls and stiffly sitting body language...when attempting to slip dry kibbles in their feed bowls at meal time......instead of those little cans of Fancy Feast....with all the gravy and juices that they looooove so much. That’s all I ever give them anymore....so they trained me well.
The answer to this question determines everything:
Who scoops whose poop?
My cats looooovvveee Fancy Feast... for awhile. And then, suddenly, they give me the insulted look when they abruptly change their minds about the flavor they’d always loved. Don’t know if it is the formula being changed by the manufacturer or not, but they demand “variety.”
Fortunately the other one (a boy) is easier to please.
Adore them both!!

2. You Don’t Move the Cat — Ever
No. I pick him up and move him anytime I need to. Exception: I do not bother him when he is in the litter box.
3. You Just Keep Buying Cat Toys
Nope. He has his sparkly balls and that is it.
4. There’s a Cupboard Full of Cat Stuff
Cat food, litter, baking soda, catnip, hairball treats, brush, tooth brush, paste, harness, leash and sparkly balls. A small cupboard.
5. Your Phone Is Full of Cat Photos
No. But to be fair I don't keep photos on my phone.
6. You Maintain Multiple Water Sources
One water fountain. But then the house is not that big.
Yeah, their tastes are constantly changing....like when I slip my older cat his heart medicine in those handy “Pill Pockets”...he’ll suddenly tire of the tase of Pill Pockets and I’m back stuffing his pills in those little Temptation snacks again.
It’s breathing.
The rest is filler.
;)
LOL So true!
1st sign is....you have a cat.
I believe I stated this some time ago, “You own your dog, your cat tolerates you”.
Declaw them, and you are in charge again.
Fancy Feast or bust in our household.
