The thing that is not talked about often enough is what happens a few months, a year and several years after, you bring home a cute cat child. For you see over time they become more and more accustomed to their surroundings, slowly starting to claim ownership over every inch of the home they have been given, becoming more and more controlling, as they begin to feel that "everything they see, belongs to me". And before long, they see themselves as the rightful rulers of the land before them. At that point you have no other option than to bend the knee and pledge your eternal allegiance to your feline overlord and hope that they shall treat you benevolently under their rule. So we figured it might be a worthwhile idea to prepaw any future feline pawrents for the kind of king or queen behavior they should expect when adopting a cute kitten.

The main thing that you must consider when making way for your feline ruler is their need for pawsonalized furniture. Obviously, you cannot give up a hooman couch for the cat alone, although that does happen from time to time. So instead, you need to invest in cat created furniture that is befitting of their rule. Sometimes it is a cat sized couch, other times it is a cat tower befitting a Bond villain.

A fine example that it is not the size or grandeur of the throne that maketh the king or queen. But it is the land upon which they have control and the influence that they have within said land. This frugal feline prefers to keep things simple for this throne and use those savings to buy fancier food.

It is rumored that after several attempts to gift this cat child King a castle, he finally deemed this behemoth of a building to be worthy of his prowess and power over the lands he controls. Slightly resembling the lair of a villain, it is pawtected from invading forces and includes areas for soldiers and servants (as seen on the left).
