@Teila Ah, I didn't know it was your FIL's house. Yep, it will be a big compromise for both of you to move from your "cleanliness corners" to the center. I'm not a neat freak but my wife doesn't even see all the clutter she creates that everyone needs to walk around or push back so their placemat on the table is available for a plate. Yet she'll get wound up about the bottom of a frying pan not being all clean and shiny. :th
I bet Gai would be more than happy to visit inside or outside your home.

But he does actually bark when he gets stuck (he goes out on a long rope cause the yard isn't fenced. Really need to fence it lol) or when he's at the door and wants to come in. Probably shouldn't reward that but it is nice because sometimes he likes to lay outside for anywhere from like 10 mins to a half hour or hour so we can go watch TV or do something and he will come to the door and bark when he's ready to come in. It works for us, idk. But maybe I should be discouraging it?

I think you WANT him to bark to come in or to tell you he is stuck. Not constant barking until you show up though, a single or double bark that says "I need you".

She is hard headed. A subtle approach would sail right over her head. Even as many times as the cat has swatted her, she still sticks her nose in the cats face.

They USUALLY eventually learn. We've not seen cuts on Christofur's face lately. But it took him some time to figure out he needed to give the other clawed cats their space. He's young (maybe a year) and wants to play. He can still annoy them but he determined on his own that when the other cats are POed at him, he needs to lie down and look innocuous.
 
Since this is a B-day thread, I figured I'd post this:

We went to the Bday party for DWs aunt, 100 years old today. It was held at the retirement place where she and DW's parents live. The other 3 older siblings lived out their lives there as well.

Aunt Ruth told me that when she got her driver's license renewed, they gave her a "Junior operator" (ie under 18) license :gig She had to go back and get that fixed. Approximately 40 family members ranging from 100 years to less than one for the "family only" lunch part. I don't know how many more of the residents for the second part, probably 60 or 70. Ruth, for good reasons, is well thought of!

Yeah, that's true. He barks constantly till you get him ha but of course sometimes we don't get him right away so he needs to

Aww poor fellow haha Gator used to stick his nose in the cat's fur. Occasionally would pin her down or corner her too. She very rarely uses her claws though
