My True Tale of Alpha Cat Brilliance
"Well! I overheard Mom Carol PLOTTING what to do if we lost power during the snowstorm tomorrow.
(She doesn't know it, but I understand some English. Don’t tell!)
I found out she plans to herd me and Paprika into the large bathroom. So I thought I better investigate this little “emergency headquarters” ahead of time.
Naturally, I scoped the place out — and found the best spot.

Then guess what? MOM CAROL sneaked in with a camera! So I had to pose! On second thought I decided I better tuck in my dangling TAIL so as to appear lady-like.
 |
| Better, Right? |
Since I saw Mom Carol was NOT pleased at my arrivng there a day early, I made sure she did not attempt to remove me, using the straight "leg maneouver"
 |
| The Staight Leg Maneuver to prevent being "moved" against my will |
Just to make sure she didn't move me, I also gave her, "The Look."
I guess I got my point across. It’s not easy being an alpha cat. I was SO proactive. But... She was not pleased to find me in there a day early...very unappreciative human.

A Note From Mom Carol. How Did She KNOW?!
I didn’t even set this up. She really did stake out the bathroom a day before the storm. I hadn’t even unpacked the emergency fleece throws yet.
And she didn’t just curl up in any corner — she picked the coziest, warmest, most throne-like perch in the whole room. Complete with a towel canopy and a built-in pedestal. All while giving me her signature “What?” face.
Paprika hasn’t stood a chance.
