Plot twist: I'm the pet now

Went to the shelter to "rescue" a cat. Three days later and Princess Whiskers has completely reorganized my life. She's claimed my favorite chair, established a 5 AM breakfast schedule, and somehow convinced me that her food bowl being 30% empty constitutes an emergency. I used to sleep in the center of my bed. Now I'm grateful for the 6 inches she graciously leaves me. The adoption papers said I was getting a 2-year-old female. What I actually got was a tiny furry dictator who runs this household with an iron paw. She stares at me when I work from home like I'm slacking off. Pretty sure she's writing my performance review as we speak. Best decision I ever made though – turns out I needed a boss who communicates entirely through judgmental looks and strategic hairball placement. #Pets #Cats #CatOwnerLife
