📝🐱🍬Household Policy Update: An Anniversary of Considerable Importance

Today is an important day in my household.

My humans are celebrating their wedding anniversary.

Naturally, I have been supervising the occasion.

Marriage, after all, is a serious long-term household arrangement involving patience, loyalty, shared furniture and the occasional disagreement about where someone is allowed to sleep.

In that respect, I believe I am highly qualified to comment.

My humans have been married for some time now, and I must say they appear to be doing rather well.

They still choose each other.

They still drink coffee together.

And, most importantly, they have both accepted that I am part of the management structure.

That last point should not be underestimated.

This morning, while I was carrying out my usual inspection of the garden, the red tom appeared again.

There he was, strolling through my grounds as if no special anniversary regulations were in force.

Really.

One would think he might have shown a little respect.

I kept a very close eye on him from indoors, naturally.

At some point during this important security operation, my male human picked me up.

Again.

I am still not entirely sure why he does this.

Perhaps anniversaries make humans sentimental.

Perhaps he simply wished to hold something beautiful.

I shall allow him that interpretation.

After all, today is his special day too.

The celebrations also included coffee, which I strongly approve of because coffee in this household comes with a most sensible tradition.

My humans have coffee.

I receive small treats.

This arrangement works extremely well and, in my opinion, is exactly the sort of cooperation upon which successful marriages are built.

Give and take.

Compromise.

Mutual respect.

And snacks.

So today I shall be slightly more generous than usual with my household evaluations.

The red tom will remain under surveillance.

The male human may continue his occasional lifting privileges.

And both my humans may take the evening off from training.

They have, after all, achieved something rather lovely together.

Happy wedding anniversary, my humans.

You chose each other wisely.

And later, of course, you chose me.

Which means the household is now exactly as it should be.

Yours, Mrs. Cotton 🐱🐾
