I swear, I get the vibe from my cats that

they're my daughters
one i get the vibe from that she's my old lady (which literally she is but the wife connotation is highly questionable)

What is the relationship in the felid mind? I've never gotten the sense that I'm a "master" despite the fact they know when I get annoyed with them or what is forbidden and they mostly come to honor that (turns out nobody or anything likes getting hassled)

I have two that are brother and sister. The sister has an oldest sibling personality - she's the calm, responsible one that has to slap the others around when they get out of line. The brother is the younger sibling - full of energy, curious, loves to play. Our third is a year younger and she's the baby. The others watch out for her and test her gently when she's trying to wrestle with them.

Then, there's uncle Todd. He lives down the street and stops by for supper and a nap every day. The older ones are very suspicious of him, but he's cool with the baby.
