Having one's life tied to a somewhat capricious life form is a unsettling idea. That being said, I've never really been overjoyed with this entry. The tone is a little off, and the cruel nature of the cat seems…unnecessary. I grew up in the country, and have had cats all my life. Between possums, eagles, raccoons, tall trees, drainage pipes, speeding cars, and a myriad of other things, a cat has no need for a cruel intelligence to almost die on a daily basis.
Now, if you made it more of a normal cat, and added damage sharing, then you may be on to something. A example would be if the cat got a leg split open during a fight with something, and the owner suddenly gets a gaping wound as well. The cat gets hit, and suddenly the owner gets splattered all over the area he was in.
