Well for me I like being able to see my tommiecat be able to be in control of her life. Not letting people push her around and making decisions for her and the such.

For me her submission to me is based on the love that we have for each other. It's always going to be based on that. She submits to be because she loves me.

Her and I are always working on her self image and how she carries herself as a human being. How she lets others affect her and the such. Her submission to me is in a large part is a tool for me to be able to show her that she is a very strong individual and that she never has to do anything that she doesn't.

I am very proud to know that my tommiecat is a very strong individual and that she is able to submit to me and yet still remain in control of her life. That in it self makes me teary eyed because I know that my kittehns life hasn't been the best and that her self confidence and the like is an area that she has been wanting to improve on. In the time that she has been with me she HAS improved. That makes me very happy.

Not sure if that answers your question or not but when I see my tommiecat being able to be her own person in HER life I am very happy. She submits to me but she is still in control of her life.
