George Clooney has a cat. So does Morrisey, Ewan McGregor, David Bowie had cats, Morgan Freeman has a cat, Leonard Nimoy, Vincent Price, OriginalGriff, Sander Rossel, ... the list goes on. All cat owners.
And ... there is even research that says that men who own one or two cats are more attractive to the ladies: Why Women Like Men Who Love Cats | petMD[^]

Whatb you mean to say is that all are tolerated by cats as long as they do their bidding.

Build a box around the printer? Stop the pet from being able to get at the printer?

The 'managed' cat.

He'd be happily managed by Professor Schrödinger at 03:00 most mornings when he decides it's breakfast time ... or possibly Cruella de Vil if I can persuade him to bark.

This is announced by the pitter-patter of dog toenails on the hardwood floor, followed by the jangle of the tags on their collars. If that doesn't work, Hera (the female) will bark(*), which ends up with me looking like this[^].
(*) The male is Bacchus, the god of whine. I've only heard him bark once in the year and a half we've had him.

Barking I could probably life with.
It's standing with one set of paws on my bladder and the other on my Gentleman's Vegetables and seemingly bouncing up and down that gets me every time...

Fortunately mine don't do that. Other than the barking, the worst mine do is stick their cold nose in my face.

Very apt description. Given their height and the fact that their snout can be 6" long or more, they can reach almost anything with it.
