Boy your husband is sooooooooo soooooo wrong. There are millions of people who just love cats.

In regards to little Grover just lying there when she is pushed out of the way by a foot, my guys do the same thing when they are lying in front of the front door and we go to push them out of the way with our foot. Nine out of ten times we have something in our hands, so they just lay there and look at us as if to say, "Oh yeah, make me." So in the end, we have to put down what we have in our hands and pick them up out of the way. I like to think of it as they don't want us to go out.
LOL Who controls who eh!
So hopefully, this is what your little Grover is doing rather than thinking she is going to be kicked like a football. Oh I shudder at the thought of it.
Give her a big kiss and hug for me please.
