TuxedoTyrant is written from inside a benevolent dictatorship. Biscuit — black tie, white shirt, zero mercy — runs this household with a brass bell, a 5 a.m. alarm meow, and a stare that ends negotiations.
Every story here starts with something he did, then asks what science says about it. Because behind every "bad" cat behavior is a brain doing exactly what evolution designed it to do.
