British Shorthair, fifteen years old. Retired lap warmer and full time window supervisor. 

:INFO
Fifteen Years of Quiet Authority
Mochi does not run to the door. She does not chase the laser with any real conviction. What she does, and has done with total consistency since 2011, is find the warmest square metre in any room and hold it. She has watched three sofas come and go and outlasted them all. This page is her record, kept the way she would want it: unhurried.

:TIMELINE
🐾 A long and comfortable life
2011-05-01 | Born in a breeder's kitchen in the Borders, the grumpiest of the litter.
2012-02-01 | Chose this family, specifically the one person allergic to cats, out of spite.
2016-09-01 | Claimed the good armchair by the window. Never relinquished it.
2021-11-01 | Officially went senior. Naps extended. Standards, if anything, rose.
2026-06-01 | Still supervising. Still smug. Still the warmest thing in the house.

She has never once come when called, and somehow the whole house still runs on her schedule.
