My sister's cats(5, including the newest addition) definitely rule the roost. One has to have her food on the back deck with her cream. It used to be milk until I started having cream around, and she got spoiled. She also has to buy a certain food or they protest. I inherited my Mom's cat when Mom passed, so I buy food for her. Here is the crazy part----they all eat out of Taylor's(my cat) dish, even miss picky.
