You're right. This cat definitely owns me and rules the house. I'm mostly a lurker who risked making a fool of myself on FT to ask questions about flying with him.
I live on several acres and found him in bad shape--was either dropped off or escaped from a terrible life. None of my neighbors had seen him. We didn't have a cat so it worked for both sides.
Thanks to all of you who have given me more advice than I ever expected.
