And she can be very persuasive.
On multiple occasions now, I have tried to reason with Her Highness. Certainly, I always think (because I am insane), if I clearly describe to this cat why the apartment is obviously mine and when I come home at 10:30pm after leaving for work at 7:00am, maybe I don't want to play, but would rather zone out in front of reality tv on my couch, she'll understand. Certainly, I reason with myself, if I explain to her that I bought this food, it is mine, and could she please stop trying to eat my breakfast cereal while I check my work email, she will back off.
This is because I am crazy. It never works.
Evidence this is my apartment | Evidence this is Squeaky’s apartment and I am her slave |
· I pay the bills. · There are pieces of furniture obviously intended for human beings in this house. · There is slightly more human food than cat food available. · The cat does not have keys to get in and out. · My stuff is everywhere. | · I feed the cat before I feed myself. If this is not done in the proper order, I get yelled at. · The cat decides when I should wake up. · The cat can sit or sleep on my furniture. I am not allowed to sit on hers. · She is here all the time, while I am gone probably more than I am here. · There are cat toys everywhere. · The cat gets the best seat in the house. · When sleeping, I sometimes hesitate to roll-over for fear of disturbing the cat sleeping on me. · The cat decides when we have conversations. · The cat decides when she shall be entertained and when I shall go about my otherwise dull existence. |
Final Score:
Me: 5
Squeaky: 9
Well, I guess I live with my cat, then.
