I adopted a shy cat. I got a tiny dictator.

When I adopted Luna, the shelter told me she was “a little shy but very sweet.” Translation: she was plotting world domination.
The first night, she hid under the bed for six hours. The next morning, she climbed the curtains like Spider-Cat, knocked over my coffee, and claimed my laptop as her new throne. By day three, she had figured out how to open the treat jar and trained me to serve breakfast at precisely 6:04 a.m.—not a minute later.
Now, every time I sit down to relax, Luna appears out of nowhere, flops dramatically onto my chest, and starts purring like a small lawnmower. If I dare to move? Death stare.
By week two, she had expanded her territory. The top of the refrigerator? Conquered. The bathroom sink? Her private spa. Any cardboard box that enters this apartment is immediately inspected, approved, and annexed into the Empire of Luna. She patrols the hallway at 3 a.m. like a tiny, furry security guard, launching surprise attacks on invisible enemies only she can see. I’ve learned not to question it. The red dot from the laser pointer?
She treats it like a sworn rival. The vacuum cleaner? A loud mechanical beast that must be supervised at all times. And yet, despite her clear dictatorship over all furniture and feeding schedules, she has one weakness: chin scratches. The moment I find the exact right spot, the tyrant melts. Her eyes close. Her paws curl. The tiny conqueror becomes a soft, blissed-out loaf who forgets all about domination and simply leans into my hand. That’s the trick, I think. Luna may rule this household with precision timing and dramatic flair, but she also trusts me enough to nap belly-up in the middle of the living room. And honestly? If this is life under feline rule, I accept my position as loyal subject. Long live Queen Luna.
