Yep, you've just gotta know how to treat your cat and it needs to know how to treat other people.
I don't like bugs period. I especially hate ladybugs because I always wind up accidentally crushing them when they get on me--two things I can't stand.(Fun fact: I flip out and wind up washing my hands and the effected area afterwards. lol I also hate the idea of having dead things on me/touching dead things. /I know/, I'ma dork, haha.)
Our dogs will sleep just about anywhere--the couch, my parents' bed, on my parents' pillows, the middle of the floor in any room, under my sister's bed... The only rooms they never go in are the bathrooms.(Our beagle is scared of baths, and I think our other dog doesn't really care.)
Oh back to the topic of tiny creatures, I just remembered one time how I held a scorpion. It was just big enough to take up most of my palm. Apparently it would jump and climb and crawl all over other students(this was at school), but when I held it, it just stood there, pawed at my palm(I'm not joking, it did a little pawing motion with one of its legs), and then just went to sleep right in my hand. XD In a way it was kinda cute.
