there's also the mutual exchange of snuggles and the trading of snacks, in the latter you have to cater to their taste in snacks and they dgaf whether you enjoy small rodents or not.
Mine is - I can scoot ov t surfaces, snaffle expensive food, the foot stool belongs to the cat, the second replacement footstool also belongs to the cat and the double bed must be free at all times. In return I get the odd stroke and a cute begging trick.
I'm pretty sure the cat would argue that they are letting you live in their house, and cleaning up after them is just one of the prices you pay for that privilege.
