It's not unusual, at least in my experience, for cats to bend people to their will. My cat, Collette, has adopted a routine in which I let her into a room and close the door. After only a short time, she asks to be let out. I let her out, but almost immediately, she pushes the door open and comes back in. Then, almost immediately, she leaves again. We'll repeat this routine up to five times. Today, in jest, I started reciting the first lyric of David Bowie's "Modern Love." (i.e. "I know when to go out--and when to stay in...")
Fortunately, I don't think Collette took offense. Maybe, the next time she enters and leaves a room repeatedly, I'll quote from The Clash's "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?"
