I s’pose it’s whether you value purrs and great big eyes over non-nibbled toesies and a lack of rude awakenings.
(As opposed to polite awakenings: “here is your breakfast vodka”.)

I know that not everyone is as dotty as I am about animals and I think it’s great that we differ in many ways
The differences between us makes us much more interesting and fun to know

Cats, like dogs and children, have to be house- and humanity-trained, and that includes not biting, clawing or hitting the people you live in a house with.
Kittens’ mothers teach kittens not to savage their mothers by the simple process of biting them harder back, and smacking them across the room if they forget themselves and keep their claws out. If one is to be a kitten’s human parent, it actually doesn’t cause the little creature any trauma at all to be treated by its new “mother” in the same way as its actual mother, ie with what humans in this society have been socialised out of, to get its attention and respect.

it’s not really a parental relationship as I see it: for a start, I like cats…

DD, aged around 18 months, pulled DS’ hair so hard it made him cry. I told her that this is what it felt like and tugged her hair. She stopped the hair-pulling with immediate effect.

That is certainly a way to teach respect for others at an early age. I don’t think I ever actually did that, because mine were not hair-pullers, but I wouldn’t have hesitated if they had been.

I bit my brother, & got told that I shouldn’t
I replied that I wasn’t biting ‘only tasting’…

Safe journeys, Carinthia.

I have had an irritating time, trying to book tickets for five ovvus to see Simon Reeve on tour (City Hall, Newcastle). I do have an account and thought I’d remembered my password, but I had forgotten it. Ne’er mind, I did the thing that sends you the email to reset your password - three times and in vain - with the clock ticking down on my seat reservations. Eventually (sweary words were liberally utilised) I gave up and handed it over to OH. He managed to book five seats, but two of my preferred ones had been sold, so G (the Labrador) will not be able to stick his long legs out into the aisle. Prolly a Good Thing for H&S, tbh.
