Vlad had taken to sprawling out on the couch as of late, as it made it easier for when Maddie wanted to curl up on his stomach and take a nap. He was currently laying back, flipping idly through a news paper and enjoying his day off. Less focused on current events, he wondered if it would be worth the effort to go to Amity Park and irritate Daniel and his friends.

His only warning was the jingle of Maddie's collar as she bunched her paws under her.

"Madd- oof!"

Ten pounds of cat landed on his bladder as Maddie pounced, springing off his lap to reach the back of the couch so that she could curl up in the patch of sun that lay there. Vlad wheezed, curling up in pain and rolling off the cushions to land on the floor.

"Whrr?" Maddie blinked at Vlad, wondering why he was hissling into the rug instead of petting her.
