Ha! Cats have that kind of power. They can be so bossy and indiferent it makes you feel you need them and not the other way around. Never mind they come home beaten and starving after their parrandas and we have to find ways to heal them back to their usual selfish arrogant selves.
My cat has never broght me a "toy" for me to play with, and he does not like to play; he just brings me his injuries for me to heal. I'm technically his nurse or vet :)
I guess that's an upgrade :)
