Do any of you see dominant or submissive traits in your pets?

..well he's not the cat from hell to me..but he was such a nice kitty when I got him, his name is Sylvester because he has the same colouring and arrangement of black and white..however he was the runt of the litter but the cutest kitten..so I couldnt resist..he began his kitty life 'attached' to my hair..because he'd sleep in my room and each morning I'd find him entangled in my hair..now however.. he has all types of characteristics..he has the dominant thing happening, in the way he has to 'know' where I am and what I am doing..if I leave the bathroom door ajar and I'm in the shower...he just waltzes in and stands up leaning on the shower glass door..until I finish..
now as he doesn't sleep in my room..he starts mewling at night when I go to bed..but I ignore him..otherwise if I let him sleep in my room, there would be no way in hell I'd relax (until he 'found' a comfy position!)..
When people walk past doorways they have to watch out because he has a tendency to leap out and scratch them..(his sadistic side)..or 'suprise' them by jumping up against the wall like he's climbing..(I have to admit I get a sadistic kick out of seeing visitors jump themselves when they're surprised )
..
oh..and no one can pat him near his butt otherwise he just becomes 'angry' and lashes out.. anal phobia as well!..

definitely not submissive.
