Right now she's curled up by the balcony door taking in the breeze. So am I. So...I guess I'll learn to walk away when she's driving me INSANE.

Hi Amoslass,
I can relate. My partner has 2 cats. They are really sweet. But (you know cats) they're up at 4am walking by my head, jumping on the bed. There are times when I get so irked. They drive me nuts. But I know the cats just wouldn't understand why it is a problem to wake me up at 4am. So I make sure to keep the door shut. Well, in my room. I don't sleep in the same room as my S/O. There are times when they just purr and are so sweet and terrific. I do love them. But, having boundaries is SO important. I think a cat tends to respect your just walking away. I have had someone who knows cats tell me this is a really good thing to do. Also, don't play with the cats when the cat wants to play, rather approach the cat to play when you want to play. This sends the message that you are the one that initiates the activity.
