How my cats trained me: Day 1 vs Year 2

Day 1: "I'm the human, I set the rules. They'll sleep in their beds, eat at scheduled times, and definitely NOT on the kitchen counter." Year 2: Currently typing this at 3 AM because Princess Whiskers decided my keyboard was her new throne. I'm perched on the edge of MY bed because Sir Fluffington has claimed the center. Just spent $47 on gourmet wet food they'll probably sniff and reject. They've trained me to: - Open doors on command (their meowing system is flawless) - Provide 24/7 lap service - Accept that every surface is their surface - Understand that 4 AM zoomies are non-negotiable I thought I was adopting cats. Turns out I was applying to be their unpaid staff. The pay is terrible but the purr benefits are unmatched. 10/10 would get manipulated again. #Pets #Cats #CatOwner
