Update! All is well now, I hope. I had a straight forward no-nonsense talk with my cat. Her name is Puscifer and she's got a hearing (and occasionally* an attitude) problem. He brought to my attention that I had, on several occasions, made it very clear that I love my DAW. The problem was she heard me say "I love my dawg", virtually deaf as she is. Needless to say she was furious, not to mention all too eager to pee in all inappropriate places.
The solution to this conundrum soon became the target for a piece of fairly short yet fierce negotiation, and pretty soon the two parties came to a mutual/partial agreement.
We, Jyri and Puscifer, thusly agree, that Jyri will never ever ever acquire an actual canine or even talk about getting a dog on loan, no matter how "cute" it may be from Jyri's point of view. Moreover, Puscifer agrees to reduce the amount of occasions she molests Jyri while he's at work with demands for more food, play or petting.
Puscifer also issued a demand for a better quality kitty litter (like that upper class lazy **** Nobby has in the next door mansion). That demand was, however, not met by Jyri since Puscifer rejected Jyri's counter-proposal for Puscifer to stop bringing half-eaten rodents into the house in exchange for better litter.
*) "Occasionally" = like all the time
