Who is the boss in the house? The cat that wouldn't let the worker out of the house

A worker who came to fix a problem in the heating system of a house spent a lot of time on an unfriendly cat who blocked his exit. I even had to “talk” in his language - all in vain.

Later he learned from his employers that the cat, while still a kitten, obeyed only the daughter of the owner of the house.
