We always referred to each other as "Mommy" and "Daddy" to our dogs, but I don't think that Care Bear (our cat) thinks of us as Mommy and Daddy so much as Female Servant and Male Servant.

I feel like cats come in two forms: dependant needy child, and entitled roommate. I’ve always had the entitled roommate form growing up but my cat right now is definitely a needy baby at 5 years old. It’s definitely a change.
Nice that they refer to you as servants.
Here I am cat slave. Mornings and afternoons I must provide heat for the beings with decorative fur, evening starts with me being a can opener, then I return to my heat provider role.
I read some time ago that dogs think we are their gods for providing them food, care, shelter, love, etc. And cats think they are OUR GODS for basically the same reasons.
My employer's cat enjoys sitting by doors, throwing me haughty eyerolls, confirming that I am truly the stupidest human in the house until I stop to open the door...then he huffs away. Maybe it is his version of a fire drill? Just checking to see if I still remember how
I refer to myself as uncle Russell to my brother's cats, but I know they just think of me as 'occasionally appearing treat machine'. The sad thing is that I'm just delighted they think of me at all!
I just literally got dragged out of a cosy bed because I did not leave the correct goodies out for midnight snack. It was a very loud protest of meoooows.
I apparently have a particular tone in my voice that makes my dogs give me the visual " Oh Shit" reply in their faces.
It's normally when they hear my sharp intake of breath when discovering they have disemboweled another dog toy.

I think she views you as the other 'S' word.

Your dogs on the other hand see you as god!
(It's the same in our house)
(One cat saw me standing up and you could tell his brain was making those connections. “That’s what that’s for!”
