Nicole Jones and her husband welcomed Carrot, a sweet orange cat, into their house a few years ago.
They didn’t anticipate, however, that this would quickly lead to a humorous little power struggle.
Though Carrot was the newcomer, it didn’t take long for him to exert authority over the household. The rules, it seems, simply don’t apply to Carrot — and he’s not afraid to let that be known.
“He opens the cupboards and steals food out of the pantry. He knocks all of our magnets off the fridge,” Jones told The Dodo. “He also takes food right off our plates as we are eating.”
Carrot is shameless.
Jones, for her part, seemed to enjoy watching Carrot’s cunning antics most of the time. On the other hand, her spouse hasn’t been as eager to cede authority to the cat.
In an effort to convince Carrot to stop what he is doing, Jones said that the man was continually chasing the dog around the home.
Carrot and Jones’ husband are still engaged in a struggle of wills, but she recently captured one particularly stressful scene on camera. The issue of whether or not the blinds should be open was at the center of their argument.
“I definitely did not expect him to outsmart my husband and open the blinds he couldn’t reach,” Jones said.
In classic fashion, Carrot had proven yet again who’s boss.
Life with a furry little would-be dictator isn’t all about butting heads, of course. When not testing the limits, Carrot likes to remind his family how much he really cares.
“He is a very sweet, loving boy who loves to cuddle,” Jones said. “But he LOVES getting into trouble.”
