Owner Shares Silly Revenge His Cat Took On Him, Admits Total Defeat Against Feline
Some people think they’re in charge of their household, then a cat named “Mads the Betrayer” shows up and turns their entire routine into a petty revenge saga.
The OP is basically trying to live a normal day, but the cat has other plans. There are laptop-hangout moments, “cat tax” photo dumps, and even a questionable spider situation that makes it feel less like playtime and more like a targeted hit.
