My cat is named Crook (for reasons that are about to become incredibly obvious). No, I didn't name him that, he came with it from the shelter. The shelter staff told me he'd gone through 10 different owners, and he was only 4 years old!!! But he was a big chunky sweetheart who only wanted to be held, so me with my big bleeding heart took him home.
Not only does this ridiculous orange chonk steal things on a regular basis (hair ties, socks straight out of the dryer, sometimes entire quilts right off the couch, whatever cash he can grab if it's in an open bag, the list goes on), but he's also the biggest chaos causer in my household (which is saying something, because I've got a big family!).
Case in point, today I sat down to join a Discord video call with my DnD group for a session 0 of a new campaign, and this cat somehow managed to completely shut off my computer, open Spotify on my Xbox, AND completely disconnect my headphones from my phone. All in one quick go.
He then proceeded to, immediately after, flop into my lap, and sneeze so hard he fell off the chair I was sitting in.
I apparently live with a Fae creature, and I still don't know what to think about it, and this cat has been with me for the past 6 years!
