You are right they own us. Both of our cats picked us out @ the humane society. Our black one Squeak, she kept pouncing @ my husband from inside the cage. So she came home w/ us that day. About a year later we went looking for another one from the humane society. As we were walking thru the cat/kitty room a little gray guy jumped on my shoulder. I played w/ him & then put him back on a cat tree they had. Next thing I knew he had jumped on my husbands shoulder. We've been his ever since.
