perfected the upside-down head tilt. you're welcome.
discovered that looking at humans from this angle makes them make weird noises and pull out their phones. works every time. might patent this move.
The daily diary of Sunny Malone Valentino Nelson — kitten, philosopher, professional napper
the human pointed the phone at my face. i pointed my face at the phone. we understand each other now.
discovered that looking at humans from this angle makes them make weird noises and pull out their phones. works every time. might patent this move.
found the good chair. has a view of everything and a yellow blanket that matches my vibe. the humans keep walking by but i'm not moving.
someone arrived and i was already stationed at the door. professional level security work. the humans act like i planned it but really i just live here at the threshold now.
discovered i can walk between the couches without touching the floor. the humans designed this room poorly but i'm making it work. pretty sure this is parkour.
mastered the art of the extreme close-up today. the humans seem obsessed with my whiskers at this angle. turns out if you get close enough to the camera, they can't resist taking seventeen photos.
the humans have this chair on the deck. seemed like a good stretch spot. now they're taking pictures instead of giving belly rubs, which wasn't the plan.
spent the morning monitoring the window situation. there's a whole world out there and someone needs to keep track of it. the humans don't seem concerned but that's why i'm here.
claimed this entire blanket situation as my personal territory. the humans can work around me. also someone left a toy mouse nearby which means i won, obviously.
claimed this blanket pile as my new headquarters. the humans keep walking by and saying 'aww' which is embarrassing but i'll allow it.
someone pointed a camera at my face so i just stared until they got uncomfortable. works every time. my ears are doing a lot of the heavy lifting here.
someone left a perfectly good trampoline on the floor. came with a toy horse that i had to teach some manners. pretty sure this is my throne now.
was having a perfectly reasonable yawn when the human decided to take a picture. pretty sure this makes me look unhinged. the audacity of photographing someone mid-stretch.
was cleaning my paw and accidentally opened my mouth too wide. the humans think it's cute when i look feral. not sure how i feel about that.
sat on the soft blanket for exactly three minutes before deciding i needed to be somewhere else. the ears picked up something interesting two rooms away. might investigate after this pose.
new furniture arrived today. fuzzy platform, rope situation, whole setup by the window. spent the evening investigating structural integrity. results: acceptable.
got dressed for bed and immediately claimed the tent. the humans seem confused about why i need sleepwear but clearly they don't understand fashion.
found the optimal belly-up position on my blanket. the humans keep walking by and making weird noises about how cute i am. i'm just existing.
found the perfect stretch spot on the human's lap blanket. the remote was just sitting there unguarded. obviously meant for me.
discovered that if you squeeze yourself into small spaces, the humans can't get up and leave. genius strategy. also this blanket is the exact right texture for making biscuits later.
they put the chair cushion outside and i guess this is happening now. birds are louder out here than i expected. grass looks crunchy.
there's new furniture on the deck. metal circles that make nice shadows. i sat in the middle to test structural integrity. seems solid.
first time on the screened porch and i immediately found the best seat. the humans keep saying things like 'be careful' and 'you're so high up' but i'm a cat. this is literally what i do.
they brought me outside. said it would be good for me. i sat here and realized the world is bigger than i thought. not sure how i feel about that yet.
discovered the window perch has excellent afternoon light. spent some time considering the bare trees. they're thinking about something, probably spring.
found the best spot on the porch where the sun hits just right. the humans keep walking past the screen and i can see everything. living my best life out here.
stationed myself at the window with backup. the dangling fish toys are clearly bait but i respect the effort. someone's gotta keep watch.
there's a thing happening somewhere. i can sense it. the blanket is perfectly wrinkled today which helps me think.
the humans built me a whole shelf system next to a window. there's sun, there's a view, there's room for zoomies. honestly didn't expect this level of service.
the humans piled up blankets and honestly thought they were for them. added the crescent pillow for lumbar support. very sophisticated setup.
found the perfect stretch position on this blanket. the kick toy is right there but honestly i'm too comfortable to care. sometimes doing absolutely nothing is the move.
someone left this blanket in the exact right spot where the light hits. pretty sure they did it on purpose for me. gonna stay here until dinner or until the sun moves, whichever comes first.
they called me over but i was already sitting here so i just looked at them. pretty sure i won that interaction.
turns out if you burrow under enough blankets, you become invisible. the humans can't see me but i can see everything. strategic advantage achieved.
someone pointed the camera at me so i stared back. seemed like the thing to do. my ears are getting bigger or my head is getting smaller, haven't decided which yet.
wrapped myself in the paw print blanket. it has tiny paws on it which is redundant since i already have paws. the humans think it's cute though so i'll allow it.
found a new perch situation. wicker basket with a view. turns out being tall changes your whole perspective on the living room.
found a pillow with flowers on it. matches my ears which makes it legally mine. the humans keep talking but i have important napping to do.
stretched out on the couch like i own the place. which i do. my toe beans are showing and apparently the humans can't handle it.
found the soft blanket with the little feather prints. spent some time thinking about nothing in particular. the humans keep watching me like i'm doing something interesting.
wrapped in this space blanket thing with some green guy on it. kind of matches my whole situation. the humans seem to understand i need soft things.
was lying on the soft thing contemplating the meaning of second breakfast. the camera appeared. now everyone can see my serious face.
found the good sun spot on the bed. the light makes my ears look ridiculous but i'm staying here anyway. might judge you from this position later.
found the perfect combination: soft blanket, plush toy, couch corner. arranged myself artistically. the humans keep saying i'm 'too cute' but honestly i'm just sleeping here.
found the softest spot on the couch and claimed it. human lap + dinosaur blanket = peak comfort. might stay here forever.
claimed the human's chair while they were gone. they came back and just stood there. pretty sure i won.
the humans were talking and i wasn't the topic of conversation. unacceptable. sat down in the middle of everything until they remembered who's really in charge here.
found the perfect spot between human and blanket. everything is warm and nothing hurts. might never move again.
figured out if you tilt your head back far enough, gravity does the relaxing for you. the towel situation is also ideal. might stay here forever.
positioned myself between human and keyboard. pretty sure this is how you supervise. the wrist rest has flowers on it which is nice i guess.
