Ah, but when a cat loves you it means you're special.

We have two. One is friendly to pretty much everyone. The other is quite shy and most people don't know we have them. We were away last winter (not the one that just past, a year before) for 5 months. The housesitter (neighbour's daughter) sent me an email about a month after we'd left... the shy one let her pet him. She was so happy. See, his plot to rule the world is working. People feel special when he allows them to pet him (even my mother who isn't a cat person).
