My cat thinks I'm the pet

Pretty sure I got scammed when I adopted Whiskers six months ago. Dude has me on a strict feeding schedule (his), wakes me up at 5 AM for breakfast service, and somehow claimed the entire bed while I sleep on a corner. I bought him a $50 cat tree? Nope, he prefers the cardboard box it came in. Expensive organic food? Hard pass. He wants whatever I'm eating, obviously. The final straw was yesterday when I caught him judging my Zoom call performance from his throne (my desk chair). He gave me this look like 'really? That's your professional voice?' Then knocked my coffee mug off the table mid-presentation. I'm starting to think he's the one with a job and I'm just the unpaid intern. At least the health insurance is good – unlimited purr therapy and occasional head bonks. Worth it? Absolutely. Would I do it again? Already planning cat #2. #Pets #Cats #CatOwner
