11. My cat supervises.
Sat May 31, 2025, 06:03 PM
May 2025

When he "helps" me move heavy containers, he walks ahead of me. I can't tell whether he is showing me where they are to be placed or if he is trying to send me to my death and inherit my rather minimal estate. He's in my Will, but only tangentially. I'm afraid to tell him that my daughter inherits everything, including him. He may take it upon himself to "help" her. He's a loving and loyal fellow but he also harbors ambition.
