Those don’t look like Rufus’ toes…

It appears that somebody has staged an invasion. But who would be so dastardly?

Silly question.

Who but Mr. Thugbutt would be so evil as to take over Rufus’ mushroom? Nobody, of course.

To be fair, it’s not really Rufus‘ mushroom. After all, the mushroom not only predates his arrival in the household, it’s been here longer than Sachiko.

But since it’s in the room Rufus considers his, the mushroom must also be his. (Which means Rufus also owns a computer, a printer, and several thousand books. None of which he’s ever shown any interest in, fortunately.)

No, of course Rufus didn’t fight for the mushroom. He’s a Mellow Fellow, and a pacifist of almost Gandhian proportions.

He knows ‘Nuki will vacate the ‘shroom eventually. And until then?

What cat can resist a sun-warmed spot on a comfortable cushion in front of the window? Certainly not Rufus.
