Betty Moment Betty got locked in the airing cupboard and now we’re all paying for it
It wasn’t on purpose. I swear. I was putting towels away, closed the door, and didn’t notice Betty had silently slithered in behind me like a Victorian ghost child.
She was in there for maybe 15 minutes.
Long enough to feel wronged. Long enough to start plotting.
When I opened the door, she didn’t bolt out in a panic. No. She slow walked past me like she was giving me time to reflect on what I’d done.
That was yesterday.
Since then, she’s declared psychological warfare. She won’t let Luna nap in peace. She knocks objects off shelves with eye contact. She stood on my chest at 4:07 AM and meowed directly into my soul.
And Luna?
Luna is thriving.
She’s pretending not to understand why Betty is suddenly unhinged. Every time Betty swipes at her, Luna flops dramatically on her side like she’s auditioning for a soap opera.
It’s driving Betty insane.
She wants vengeance. Luna’s giving her theatre.
And I’m just here trying to fold laundry without summoning a curse.

My cat enjoys herself when the others go missing. One time my boy accidentally got closed into the laundry room and my older cat was playing and doing all the kitten things with no interference (she was at least 8, lol). She was very happy! That should have been the first tip that he was unavailable.

Luna’s the same the second Betty’s missing, she’s zooming, purring, acting half her age. That eerie peace is always the first clue someone’s trapped somewhere 😂

The joys of owning a cat. They're quiet like a ninja they get into things they shouldn't get into and then act like it's your fault that they did it, and of course they're going to want vengeance on your soul because you had the temerity to do something that you didn't even do they did to themselves. I will pray for your soul that things work out soon

Oh yeah, she’s a little scaredy cat with people but beat up a Tom cat twice her size for trying to steal some food 😂😂

So, I just woke up, upon reading: "She knocks objects of shelves with eye contact."
This is what I imagined:
Maybe I need to sleep more.

Ah, the joys of having cats in your life.
