What makes Chalee so mean?

Chalee is the CAT!  Therefore, superior in all ways to all living creatures…at least he thinks so.  He is 17.5 lbs of aristocracy.  He ignores my husband and will walk all the way around the room to avoid him and then will sit with his back towards him.  But if my husband starts making tuna salad sandwiches, then Chalee vocalizes his right to half the can of tuna and usually gets it.  He makes the kids let him out of the house then meows to be let right back in, unless it is raining or snowing out, then he just hovers in the doorway looking out, letting in the cold or rain.  He jumps on my daughter’s bed and lays on her feet, but if she moves her feet, he meows indignantly and bites her.  Pretty soon he has most of the bed to himself and she is curled up with very little room.  

I seem to be in his good graces, but only because I feed him.  But, since I put him on a diet (doc’s orders), he will wake me up at 3:30 every morning and meow pitifully until I go down and feed him.  Then he will use his box and come back up stairs to let me know what a good kitty he is … waking me back up again.  He may not be the superior being he thinks he is, but he sure has all of us doing his bidding.
