As beloved Uncle Darth has trotted over the Rainbow Bridge, it now falls to me as the Tiger Queen and oldest Cat to occupy Human Mommy’s lap in the evening.
Don’t call me the Elder Cat, though. I am in the prime of my Cathood, barely a whisker out of Kittenhood.

Darth Vader’s health has been in rapid decline over the past few weeks. Today he passed away at the ripe old age of 18.

What do you mean that you can’t do your job if I’m sitting on your laptop, Human Mommy?
Doesn’t your job involve problem solving?
So, figure it out.

This pillow is in my way and I’d love to thwack it to the floor, but that might get me in trouble.
Worse, Xena and/or Apollo might mistake it for a chew toy if I thwack it to the floor and then we’d be down a pillow.

Ahem! I am performing an impressive back leg stretch.
Do your job, Paparazzi!
And be sure to get me from multiple angles.

Guys, I understand the importance of your Woofie Guard Duties, but could you lower the volume of your barking a bit?
You’re drowning out the dialogue of my Birdie TV show.

Wanna play, Apollo?
Oh, I would, Xena, but I’m currently busy practicing my Majestic Egyptian pose.

The Humans keep the outside doors closed and Luna tells me it’s too cold to practice Ornithology anyway, so I can’t very well hit the town as I planned this Friday night.
So I guess I’ll just have to do the next best thing and prowl around the guest room, which the Humans usually keep inexplicably closed.

No, I’m not bothering Uncle Darth, Human Mommy.
I know that he’s the Elder Cat and that it wouldn’t do to disturb his midday nap.
I’m just giving my back a good stretch.
Why do you always assume the worst?
