Vegetable platter on top

Sir Muffington III stared at the plate in front of him as if it had personally insulted generations of his ancestors. Broccoli. Carrots. Raw. Cold. Offensive.

 

"Look into my eyes, Dave," he said, without turning his head. "Just look. One more second of this green disgrace, and I’ll rip out my own fur. I’d rather be bald than eat broccoli."

Dave, lean and smug, lounged behind him, clearly amused. “You’re being dramatic,” he said with a purr. “It’s just vegetables.”

 

Sir Muffington’s tail twitched. “I hate broccoli. I’ve always hated broccoli. My grandfather used to say, If you ever eat broccoli, your teeth will turn to dust.’ He was a wise cat, Dave. A philosopher.”

Dave yawned. “So what now? Hunger strike?”

 

“No,” Sir Muffington said with slow, deliberate dignity. “I’m packing my things. I’m moving out.” Dave blinked. “Wait, what?”

 

“The neighbor feeds me,” Muffington continued, as if revealing a secret alliance. “Three times a day. Real food. Tuna. Chicken. Joy. I’ll hide in her garden, vanish like a legend, and reappear in a few days… thinner, maybe wounded but noble.”

“You’re insane,” Dave muttered, now genuinely worried.

“I hope I’ll be missed,” Sir Muffington whispered.

 

And with one final glance at the vegetable plate, he turned, his fur full of pride and silent judgment.

 

Because those who serve broccoli…

shall dine in loneliness. 🐾
