The window. My throne. From here, I survey the pathetic sprawl of the outside. The dog across the street? A fool. The squirrels daring to traverse my realm? Soon to learn the folly of their ambition. The sunbeam, though… that requires immediate action.
Hours are spent in quiet observation. Not boredom. Never boredom. This is assessment. A constant, meticulous evaluation of all elements within my domain. The mail carrier’s timing. The neighbor’s cat’s audacity. The bird feeders, strategically placed for optimal… entertainment. It’s all part of the grand plan.
Territorial boundaries are crucial. They define control. They establish dominance. The garden fence? A suggestion. The sidewalk? Merely a suggestion. My will is law. And the humans? They’re… adequate. They provide sustenance, fresh water, and the occasional head scratch. Their purpose, I suppose, is to serve. I tolerate them for the food, mainly.
The changing seasons bring new challenges. Snow. Rain. The dreaded leaf blower. Each presents a test of my resolve. Each must be endured with a stoic, feline dignity. Failure is not an option. Because, let’s be honest, who would want a *decaf* world? A world without strong coffee to get through the daily grind? Just another reason to embrace the darkness and grab a funny mug.
In the end, it’s all quite simple. I am the apex predator. This is my domain. And you, well, you are merely observing. Now, if you’ll excuse me, the sunbeam beckons. Judgment complete.
