A man's best companion or friend is a dog. When you say sit, he does so and when you say stay, the dog stays.

After a demanding workweek, a dog anxiously awaits your return at the door. The moment he hears your key in the door, his tail starts to wag and his life starts over when you get home.

You and your dog have a wonderfully co-dependent relationship because of the near total harmony that exists between you too. And then there are the cats.

You're lucky if your cat even acknowledges that you spoke to them when you ordered them to sit. If you tell your cat to stay, you'll probably get a look of disgust and incredulity. 

The sheer apathy and indifference emitted by a cat can be so overwhelming that it makes you feel insignificant and makes you lower your head in shame. Meanwhile, you can appreciate the amazing beauty of this magnificent creature that lives in your home which is your furry kitty.

In today's story, we see a Redditor who is here to prove to us that humans have a lot of malicious compliance lessons to take from cats. The OP has a cat whose name is Oliver, but the OP affectionately refers to him as the fuzzy terrorist.

This is a name the cat has earned many times over, but he's just so darn cute that the OP can't find it in him to strangle the cat. 

Let's get into the story and know why Oliver is regarded as a terrorist

You will have to learn new depths of humility in order to be a cat's staff. Yes, you are a slave or servant to a cat as you have to plan on begging them for everything.

Beg them to pet them, beg them to spend time with you, and beg them to regard you as more than a bother. Naturally, you'll ultimately receive some feline affection in return for your begging but this cat is here for so much more.

Let's head into the comments section and find out what other Redditors have to say

This Redditor is saying that the cat sounds adorable

Cats are incredibly caring and loving animals. Their purrs, their affectionate head rubs, their expressions of love for us—all of it is so heavenly that it nearly feels like soul medicine.

It is an honor to be a part of their lives since they are exquisitely complicated creatures with unique motivations and wants. There is a special bond that develops between a cat and its human, and very few people will ever get to witness this wonderful bond.
