Well, I believe that if the husband / boyfriend (as in most cases) treats the wife / girlfriend like his slave and / or his extra mummy, then he is not showing respect towards her.
nah, she gets a little playful every once in a while though.
she runs like crazy back and forth in the hall, sometimes runs into a closed door or something. she also makes some noise when her tail is caught under something or stepped on.
we have 11 or 12 cats, i really don't know, their numbers are constantly changing, you know, new ones born, the weak newbies are eaten by the dog, etc.
anywhere i go in my yard, i stumble into a swirl of cat-mass, they are everywhere, sitting on top of the car, jumping in the window, fortunately, i don't spend too much time @ home
