One of our cats has a partner, who we are pretty sure is SATAN. Only way to explain her behavior. The other is just, you know, a really good cat. And our dogs are dogs--if you want to be specific about roles, they are, as we never tire of telling them, good boys.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I feel if my cat were a real partner, she would stop peeing on things.
Heh.
Feline partner, hell. I love them dearly, but they're pets, not partners. I call them "baby" affectionately, but they're not children, either. AS I've said before, they're not human, that's why I want them around!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Ha!
A partner doesn't start screaming at you at 5:30 in the morning for a 7 am feeding time. A partner gets up and feeds the pet so you can continue to sleep.
(IOW, Avon has been winning a war of attrition on the 7 am feeding time. Monday morning I was started awake at 4:15 or so and he was standing on the edge of the bed, STARING AT ME. That is why we are harness training him.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It sounds like some of you people have abusive feline partners.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You guys make it so appealling. I gots to get me one of those.

Well, the harness training provides its own entertainment. Avon walks backward while it's on; KK slinks around in shame, dragging his lower belly on the ground.

Yeah, Leifur LEAPS out the door and down the stairs, and then spends the next five minutes staring at a shrub.

Miss Kitty won't move and just moans when we have tried a harness on her.
I'm so glad we added Noodle to the family. She keeps Miss Kitty on her toes and they are hilarious to watch.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Are their children pets?...NO...and neither are ours.
No...but your cats are. Unless there's more to this story than I want to know.

Because books.
My cats are already indoor/outdoor, but trying a harness on either of them seems like it would lead nowhere good. Cortez would probably imitate Miss Kitty, Suzi.
