Senility, that made me smile. It does have it's perks.
You are right, Ripley had a love/hate relationship with me for most his life. I think he just saw me as a toy or prey to attack and then someone to run to when the thunder scared him. That was most of his first 10 years of life but since we've introduced the other cats he finally started to see what a cat/human relationship should be and he has become more loving and affectionate and much less independent. Rocky and Rumor have especially helped to change him... or it's the senility.
