I Follow Curiosity, Not Instructions <br/><br/>I station myself near doorways like a philosopher guarding a threshold, announcing my observations to anyone who passes. I comment on footsteps. I debate the purpose of cupboards. I firmly believe treats are not rewards but acknowledgments of my correct opinions-specifically Friskies Party Mix, which is the current gold standard of respect. When you greet me, approach with intention: shoulder blades first, no looming, snacks visible. This is not personal; it's just how consent works in a thinking household.<br/><br/>I prefer an adult-only home because my social system runs best without sudden movements or surprise hands appearing from above. I will absolutely tell you when I'm finished being petted, and I expect that note to be taken seriously. Over time, I may allow fewer treats during negotiations-though I will insist this is unnecessary progress and request snacks anyway. I manage my independence carefully, check in on my own terms, and will continue refining my boundaries as a lifelong practice.
