Like I told my cats, "A short life lived free is much better than a long life imprisoned in the house."
Maybe someday humans will live a natural life like the 'lower' animals.

I read your cat stories, and I too have a cat who just can't seem to stay the hell off of me.
Except he's got this need to get his face right up against mine. So...it's a game now. I'm laying on the couch..he jumps on me...I start to put my hands in a position to block his attempts to get "in my face".
He looks away, as a decoy...then he tries to sneak around my guard.
After about 3 minutes of this, he relents, and lays down. He just THINKS he's smarter than me.
Although, I've often wondered if I've trained him, or he's trained me.
He does get to go out whenever he wants, though.
Edit...I had a Border Collie/Husky mix for 10 years....she was a genius. Those herd dogs are amazing
