Sunbeam Wars: Who Owns the Patch of Light?

If you’ve ever watched your pets treat a single square foot of sunlight like beachfront property, you know peace in your household is a fragile illusion. That golden patch on the floor? It’s not just warm — it’s sacred territory.

🐈 Phase 1: Discovery
The moment the sun hits the window just right, the first feline scout appears. Tail high. Ears twitching. They stand in the light for three seconds — just enough to claim it — before flopping dramatically like a fur-covered flag of victory.

🐕 Phase 2: Invasion (Optional)
If a dog is involved, negotiations end before they begin. They will sprawl across the entire beam, often sideways, with an “oops, am I crushing you?” expression. The cat retaliates by slow-blinking from the nearest piece of furniture, plotting revenge.

🌿 Phase 3: Expansion
As the sunbeam moves, so does the front line. Every ten minutes, bodies shuffle in awkward unison. Beds, plants, rugs — all casualties in this battle for brightness.

☕ Phase 4: Human Intervention
You think, “Oh, I’ll just move the plant so it doesn’t burn.” Wrong. You’ve just entered the battlefield. Expect glares. Expect judgment. You may even lose your lap privileges for the day.

💚 Truce (Until Tomorrow)
Eventually, the beam fades, and everyone returns to their usual nap spots — but only until the next day’s light creeps in, reigniting the turf war. In your home, peace is temporary, but the drama? Eternal.
