Arekan’s Blog: Not Another Feline Overlord

Cat sitting on Arekan's head
I will not submit to the feline overlord

(Arekan’s Blog) Arekan: Scribe, what is THAT doing here?

Beth: (Innocently): What?

Arekan: Don’t give me “what.” After three years of blissful peace, the brown cat returned. What? It couldn’t find another sucker to feed it, so it came back to you?

Beth: You are confused.

Arekan: I have never been, or ever, especially now, confused.

Beth: You are dangerously close to your adverb limit.

Arekan: Keep your snark to yourself.

Beth: And your preposition limit.

Arekan: Scribe! About that furry ball of disaster. Explain.

Beth: That is not Twix, the Bengal. This is Orion, the Savannah.

Arekan: (Narrows eyes) What’s the difference?

Beth: One of Twix’s ancestors was an Asian wildcat. Orion’s ancestry includes an African wildcat.

Arekan: What is it about wildcats with you? Didn’t you learn your lesson with the last one?

Beth: I like bad boys, I guess.

Arekan: You guess?

Beth: Otherwise, why would I allow you to live rent free in my head?

Arekan: Is that another crack about me not pulling my financial load?

Beth: Not at all. Besides, you should like this cat. He was living on the streets as a stray, got into a lot of scrapes as evidenced by his tattered ear, doesn’t like humans all that much, and loves to sleep alone.

Arekan: Are you comparing me to that cat?

Beth: If the feline fits.
