Squatter's Rights

Determined not to sit stranded out in the wide draughty open like some decorative ornament, I threw my weight side to side until I rolled clear off the rug. Right by the armchair leg sat a massive fleece-lined slipper, completely unoccupied. Now why should an empty shoe hog all that prime insulated shearling while honest folk shiver on the floorboards? Pure double standards, that! I squared myself up, gave a mighty heave, and wedged my round belly straight into the toe. The wool collar folded back around me like a proper fortification. Cosiest wee fortress in the entire room, and won by right of honest gumption. #Catnip #double-standards #disaster-averted
