I'm speaking in generalizations here, which I'll admit is virtually pointless, but I considered with my statement that generally speaking people don't steal food from the plates of their hungry peers.

Allowing an animal to steal food is the right call most of the time, same for people really.
They're called cats.
Seems like an inevitably either way, but I could also see myself having an itch to straighten it to be honest.
Why not just leave it?
My ex girlfriend had a roommate that wouldn't let their cat sit on his lap, because he figured the cat saw it as a sign of dominance. And it's like, what are you afraid is going to happen if the cat believes it's dominating you? What's at the end of this slippery slope for you? Are you afraid you're going to show up to your kitchen job and the boss is going to take you aside and say "look man, your cat showed up earlier and he's better at your job than you, so you're fired". And then you'll glance through that round porthole-esc kitchen window on those swinging kitchen doors and the cat will be in there flirting with your crush as he flambes some fish and shoots a wink at you?
Brother, if you're that concerned with the opinion of a cat, you really are being dominated, just not by the cat.
It's congratulating you that it's not your vomit this time.
You too, sincerely.
You're right. I should have put a bit more effort into assuring clarity as my statement does not make the necessary distinction that people should hold themselves to a higher standard than animals, which many people unfortunately do not.
