    Why not just leave it?

    My ex girlfriend had a roommate that wouldn’t let their cat sit on his lap, because he figured the cat saw it as a sign of dominance. And it’s like, what are you afraid is going to happen if the cat believes it’s dominating you? What’s at the end of this slippery slope for you? Are you afraid you’re going to show up to your kitchen job and the boss is going to take you aside and say “look man, your cat showed up earlier and he’s better at your job than you, so you’re fired”. And then you’ll glance through that round porthole-esc kitchen window on those swinging kitchen doors and the cat will be in there flirting with your crush as he flambes some fish and shoots a wink at you?

    Brother, if you’re that concerned with the opinion of a cat, you really are being dominated, just not by the cat.
