Scarlett The Cat
The craft room possession battle continues...
Here she shares the story of one of her many pets, Scarlett.
So, over to you, Rachel…
Scarlett The Cat: ’s Cat
We have several pets: two dogs, 14 chickens, two pigs, and the most obvious choice for your feature, Scarlett The Craft Room Squatter, with whom I’m engaged in a long term adverse possession battle over the true ownership of “my” space.
Scarlett is 3, and was a rescue kitty during the Great Mouse Plague of 2021. We’ve always been dog people, but desperate times and all that.
The theory, however, came crashing down when we watched in horror as she heard a mouse, sat up and watched it run across the room and promptly lay back down and continue her nap. Apparently she has not heard of “earning her keep”!
Her favorite toy is the little rope on a stick to chase around, in an effort to keep her hoomans entertained and wear them out so they get a good nights sleep ready to wake before dawn for Breakfast Duty.
She likes undertaking quality assurance audits of every bed and every couch quilt in the house, and especially likes playing with the Mama Hooman’s yarn. It’s fun AND pretty.
Her most favorite thing though is laying claim to various surfaces in the craft room (the more inconvenient the better), and scowling in disgust when it is suggested she may like to move.
She dislikes the German shepherd, dry food for breakfast, and being awake in the day time. She especially dislikes being made to wait for dinner until a) 6pm and b) the dogs have been fed first.
Cats always want you to know who’s in charge. 😊
Do your pets ever demand exclusive access to certain spaces in your home?
