I'm too much of a pragmatist for an a$$hole cat that belongs to the "girl", wife in my case. I'd just divorce it entirely from my life. I wouldn't look at it, feed it, touch it or decide what room it should occupy and when. It would just be the "girl's" cat and none of my concern.
Thankfully I've been very successful with warding off the, "we should get a cat" pleas from the wife and daughter.
I use their love for our dog as the reason not to mess with the house's current balance. Molly the dog is the princess that doesn't need to compete for attention and territory and adding a cat could ruin her life. I mean, it is possible... we just have to consider Molly's needs in all this... am I right?
