It might sound funny but I have 4 cats and each one (in their own little way) are quite mean and stuck up (as cats usually are!) but because of this, it makes me find them more adorable.

An example would be me walking past one of them today and for no reason she hit me on the way past! (it didnt hurt obviously) but it made me laugh when I saw her face-all puzzled and angry for no reason

(note: they aren't actually vicious creatures my cats...well not all of the time )

Are you a woman?

Perhaps treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen does work.
