I want to teach my cherished, stubborn kitty, not to go to one place
in the house, not completely rid myself of her presence;

  It would not make any sense, after having taken her away from a sick
family where the mother washed her & her sibling in their washing
machine, to show her children how "powerful" she was; (her sibling died,
Kzinnrrhett survived by holding on to the central agitator, it was
obvious the woman knew what was up as I walked in - so I just took her
away from them, this abusive woman didn't even object).

  After having gotten Kzinnrrhett through healing as much of that trauma
as I can (She still freaks on loud sudden sounds & on being splashed
with water, but she'll come gripe at me as I bathe to tell me it's NOT
SAFE!  Look out!  She's hilarious <G>), why in the world would I get rid
of her?  She is quite a fun character, really cute, and frankly, a lot
less full of malice than some people.

  This suggestion is as good a solution as telling someone, worried
about how they'll send their kids to college, to just kill their kids,
thus solving the problem - it's IMHO, a close approximation to a TROLL.
