I can't remember when I last knew an aloof and independent cat. One of our cats hangs out in the bedroom until afternoon, then comes to be with us for the rest of the day and evening. She stays where she's put unless where she's put is uncomfortable. The other one is always with us, and she thinks she's a herding cat -- if we're in separate rooms for too long, she wanders between both of them while squeaking. She follows people into the bathroom because she thinks that being alone is the saddest thing in the world and she doesn't want anyone to have to be alone ever. However, they still don't act at all like LKH's werecats, who are more like a cross between very lazy, very clingy dogs and robot sex dolls.
