No Compromise

Typically, on the bed, there is a pile of pillows (next to the human's pillow) where Petunnia likes to sit and look down on her domain. Lately, though, it has been replaced with an even higher pile of newspapers, magazines and books, so the sickly human never has to reach very far for something to read. Well, Petunnia still tries to sit on it, which always means books, etc., tumbling down on the human. So today, after piling it all up into an especially tidy and above all high pile, the human tries to discourage Petunnia from jumping up on it. She actually puts her arm in between the pile and Petunnia. Twice. Then she invites Petunnia to sit on her lap instead, something Petunnia is usually quick to do. Eventually Petunnia turns away from the pile of books, but rather than sit on the human's lap, she goes to the bottom of the bed, to the corner farthest from the human, radiating displeasure. Later of course, the pile gets knocked down...
