Patrol Route
Every evening, Doggy Cat checks the sofa, circles the hallway, and reports at the front door. The report is always meow. The humans call this excellent deterrence because visitors pause to reconsider the entire household. Once the perimeter is secure, the officer inspects the bowl and clocks out on a warm blanket.
