While I was out of the house for the weekend, Hela took the opportunity to topple the monarchy and behead the head of state:

She then established her dominance when I returned by 1) assuming his former position:

and 2) stealing the bag of treats I had hidden in the cupboard where I keep my dishes, dragging said treats into my bedroom, ripping open the TWO baggies I had sealed it in, and then feasting upon the forbidden morsels right next to my sleeping self, leaving the shredded plastic and a few fishy tidbits behind for Mog.

I may need to sleep with one eye open.
