Same.

Which is why, when people ask, “Why did you name your cat Monkey?” I give them the Good Glare ™ and reply, “If you ever met the little 👿 you’d understand.”

{ _Ahem._ }

Humour.

(She’s British, ya gotta humor them.)

Yeah. It will.

I assume you, as her unpaid staff, will provide the GOOD gooshy-fud (whatever that is to her) plus squeezy-crack, especially if her little mouth will be sore.

You are very polite to offer her the whole bowl!

She was very polite right back.
