Every cat owner knows that the kitty is the head of the household. You play by their rules, no matter what.
You scoop the poop, you clean up after their hair-ball messes, and you feed them when they are screaming at you for more treats, even after they just ate. How can you say no to such an adorable face, after all? Some cats are, however, bossier than others.
Gift-wrapping? Forget it, there's no way any present will get wrapped when there's a cat around. Sleeping with the door closed? No, sir. The whole house must be accessible at all times, in case the feline needs to wake someone up at an ungodly hour, just to steal a few quick pets.
Their bigger relatives are kings of the jungle, but domestic cats are certainly kings of the household, and they revel in their power. Sometimes, they even abuse it.
Does your cat enforce any of the rules below? Please SHARE with your family and friends, and let us know what rules your cats have set for your home!
