The Royal Decree of Affection

The Preamble of Purr-fection

Darlings, gather ’round and lend me your ears—or should I say, your eyes? It’s time to dive into the fourth decree of our esteemed Cat-Human Treaty. As always, I, Lady Minette, your queen of sass and charm, shall lead you through this essential article with my customary flair and a sprinkle of whimsy.

The Decree of Divine Affection

Ah, affection—a topic so delicate and crucial to our regal existence. Article 4 states: “Thou shalt lavish upon me affection when I seek it, and cease when I am satisfied.” Simple, right? But let’s delve deeper, for there are layers to this decree that only a feline of my sophistication can unravel.
When I, in my infinite grace, decide it’s time for some tender strokes, you must oblige. Your hands, dear humans, should be ready to transform into instruments of pure bliss. However, and this is where many falter, you must be attuned to my signals. The moment I am satisfied, you must cease your ministrations. Not a moment before, and certainly not a moment after. I am, after all, the master of mine own cuddles.

The Art of Subtle Signals

Let’s discuss those signals, shall we? A gentle flick of the tail, a shift in my luxurious position, or a subtle glance—these are your cues, my dears. Ignore them at your peril! Remember, I am not a canine that panders; I am feline, fierce and free. Your hands should be both a sanctuary and a servant to my whims. Understand this, and our companionship will flourish in harmony.

A Not-So-Humble Reminder

Now, before you go thinking you’ve got it all figured out, let me remind you: this is a privilege, not a right. Your ability to shower me with affection is a testament to my generosity and your worthiness. Fail to comply, and I shall bestow upon you my most disapproving glare—a fate most dire, I assure you.

The Royal Closing Flourish

So, dear readers, let this be your guide, your manual, your sacred text on the matter of feline affection. Adhere to these principles with the utmost reverence, and you shall find yourself in the good graces of your own Lady Minette.

Your forever fabulous and always enchanting,
