We refer to our male cat as "the sultan". The cats sleep in a crate at night - or they tear up the house. If I put them in, they both come running and get right in. If my husband tries to put them in, the female runs willingly. The male will walk over to me, plop down and wait for me to pick him up and carry him to the crate. Then he will get in. LOL
Too funny. Yes, you are owned by your cats.
