ORIGINAL: leadership527 You: Ballistic. Master: Satisfied the cat is off the nightstand, worried about you now. Cat: Lands on floor, blinks, takes a bath to show it's studied indifference to all humans. Ha! More like: Me: Ballistic Him: Wondering "WTF? It's just a cat, and he's fine! (and no longer on the night stand) Me: Still ballistic Cat: Bewildered, runs off, acts indignant, but becomes skittish around the Mister Him: Tries to laugh it off Me: Now way over on the other side of the bed Him: Pulls me to him to calm me Me: Grumbles and makes comparisons to me swatting his daughter (not that she's ever climbed up on the night stand) End result: Conversation about my need to keep a peaceful home with no one (even the cat) in fear. My offering to figure out how to teach the cat to behave, his agreeing, my actually succeeding at (mostly) teaching the cat to behave, and everybody's happy. He sees results, he likes the cat now, the cat likes him, and I love them both. Life is good. OK so we've probably really deterred from the OP, but maybe it can serve as an example of slave owning a pet and what the slave owner's involvement is gong to be - - which should be figured out in advance.
