Subject: Strategic Napping & Nighttime Chaos
Dear Diary,
I nap all day.
Not because I’m lazy — don’t insult me — but because great mischief requires preparation. While everyone else thinks I’m “sleeping” or “being cute,” I’m actually charging my internal chaos battery.
By nightfall?
💥 Fully operational menace.
First order of business: hydration.
The humans provide bowls, yes, but I prefer my water seasoned with mystery. The fish tank is perfect. The fish glare at me from inside their giant glass bowl like they own the place. I drink. They panic. We all play our roles.
Then comes The Counter.
I know I’m not supposed to be up there. That’s why I go up there. Sometimes I don’t even want anything — I just like being tall and illegal.
After that?
✨ Terror Time. ✨
I terrorize all the other cats, but especially Hiro. Listen. I don’t hate Hiro. She’s just… very round. So round that when I pounce, she mostly just accepts her fate. She can’t even really fight back. She also can’t clean herself, which is apparently fine because Reggie does it for her.
I would like to formally note:
🤢 That is disgusting.
Reggie tries to manhandle me like he does Ace — very rude — but Mom and Dad stop him every time. I appreciate their understanding that I am not for roughhousing. I am for chaos and snuggles only, and in that order.
Bellatrix says this house is a prison.
Bellatrix has clearly never been outside in the real world.
Let me tell you something, Diary — I have.
Mom and Dad adopted me from a truly awful situation, and this place? This is a palace.
✅ It’s warm
✅ The blankets are soft
✅ There is always something happening
✅ The fish taunt me daily
✅ Birds sit RIGHT outside the window like they don’t know I exist
✅ There are toys everywhere
✅ Unlimited snuggles (when I want them)
Honestly, I don’t know how it could be better.
Mom and Dad would probably love more snuggles, but I am still young, energetic, and legally required to sprint through the house at full speed for no reason at least twelve times a day.
I’ll cuddle later.
After I knock something over.
Love,
