16. They are in charge and you are staff.

While we are not childless we might be considered cat people. Five indoor critters and two strays we feed so they'll leave the birdies alone. Three of the indoor cats are litter mates that my wife wouldn't separate, one is a stray from her job. The last one was left in a cardboard box in front of a veterinarians office. I can tell if my wife is in the front yard or the back by which door the cats are sitting at.
