Grandfather

The humans must have hired a part time warden. A new male human, who reminds me somewhat of the female, makes his rounds five times a week. Initially I dashed under the bed as soon as I saw him walking up the sidewalk. Despite the fact that he is older than the female, he caught on rather quickly to my evasion tactic. Every day he persisted in rudely spying on me while I hid under the bed. Determined to elude him, I began hiding beneath the cover of the bed. I suspect the female human disclosed my location because the next day he cautiously lifted the covers and said "Well hello there." After numerous failed attempts at flattery, he resorts to bribery. I have a particular weakness for treats; he has a particular strength in the powers of deduction. So now every time this male comes by, he leaves me exactly five treats. Queen Abbigail calls him "Pappy" with no adverse effects, but perhaps that is because Abbi has an attitude every creature fears.
