A question of ethics:

Let’s pretend you have this big, fluffy cat. An adorable cat that looks so huggable. She is almost irresistible. But you know she doesn’t like her body touched.

(Aside: I would never do this to Billie Jean. I know there would be bloodshed, paramedics summoned and blood transfusions in the ER.)

Is it morally reprehensible to request that in exchange for room and board, she show a modicum of compromise and snuggle?
