truckle \TRUHK-uhl\, intransitive verb:
To yield or bend obsequiously to the will of another; to act in a subservient manner.

Tonight I did truckle under the force of my 12lb cat.

Hobbes has been particularly attentive all day. It got so bad during work that I locked him out of my bedroom. No amount of kitty-cannonball paused him in his determination to hop back on the desk and headbutt my face. Or sit next to me and mrowr loudly.

I finally couldn't take it any more and gave him a second helping of wet food. Now he's peacefully ignoring me again. As relieved as I am, sheesh, nice to know he only loves me for my ability to open a can of tuna.

*glowers in his general direction*
