If you're a D&D player who also raises a cat child, you know you can never exclude your feline friend from the game table.
I'm going to start a new D&D group with my friends very soon. They have four characters: an elemental sorcerer elf with a dark secret, a ranger dwarf who escapes the law, a barbarian orc lady who has no idea what's going on, and a human cleric healer who's got to be the group's mom. And I am the DM, master of the story and worldbuilding, and the host for our bi-weekly meetings. Oh, and I almost forgot… my cat, Cassie, is going to take care of the entertainment. No D&D session is boring when she's around - especially because she refuses to leave the game table once we play.
If you're like me, a D&D player or DM who also hosts their party in their cat's kingdom - I mean, your house - you already know how every game night goes. Your players arrive, and it doesn't matter if they have cats themselves, they have to act like cat people once they're through the door. They each greet your cat with pets and baby talk. When you order food, everyone has to pay the cat tax and give your cat a little snacky. And when you play - your cat must dominate the table, roll the dice even when it's not their turn, and move the miniatures around the map regardless of their place in the story. This is just cat law. What, you haven't read the Cat's Handbook?
Regardless of how much you try to de-cat-ify your D&D table, your cat will always be there. And believe me, we're not alone in this. I found the most adorable examples of fellow D&D players who share their cats' most audacious moments during game night. Miniatures, dice, maps, character sheets, DM screens - nothing is safe for the precious paws of your feline overlord.
