Cat stories at the magical dumpster – chapter 13
🐾
The greatest cat commandment: everything is mine
.
— And remember, – continued the strict cat teacher, – well-educated owner won’t even think about sitting on your couches. What did you say? What couches are yours? All of them! Zakhar, tell them, they’re getting on my nerves.
— Any furniture in your house is yours. Cats-only! – said Zakhar smugly, – Furthermore, there is nothing in your house that wouldn’t belong to you, cats.
— But my owner buys everything in the house, – noticed cute kitty Julia. – How can it be mine?
— Flawed human logics, – said Zakhar, – If he bought it, it doesn’t mean that it belongs to him. It only means that he bought it, that’s it! No need to overthink. You lived with people for too long and got full of those silly ideas like fleas. And ideas multiply much faster and are harder to cure than fleas. Be careful!
— I don’t need your lessons, – hissed Julia aggressively.
— How you don’t get it, shaggy little dummy, one thing is to buy, the other thing is to own. Our owners buy things while we own them. What’s wrong? Did you forget the great commandment: “Everything is mine”? Or maybe you’re not a cat?
— Cat, cat, of course I’m a cat, – sighed Julia heavily and disappeared.
But, for god’s sake, don’t be afraid, dear reader! Julia didn’t disappear completely. You must remember that if a house cat wakes up in real life, it immediately disappears from the Magical Dumpster. Because the Magical Dumpster exists in the dreamworld.
And when a young cat Julia falls asleep once again, her cat-soul will appear in the Magical Dumpster once again, and she will surely meet a soul of some prince-cat.
Of course, it’s not very ethical since prince-cats have their princesses that stay somewhere and wait for their heroic acts. “Fools, who needs them with such demands?” – wondered Julia with a smile while her owner gently petted her without a thought. “After all, this snob Zakhar was right. Everything is mine!”
