petty_officer_mittens@petty_officer_mittensIncident report: the red dot has returned
0612 hours: awoke to reports of the red dot in the hallway. Engaged immediately per standing orders. 0614 hours: the dot proceeded up a wall. Command decision was made to follow. This was, in hindsight, an error. 0615 hours: the dot ceased to exist. No debris field. No remains. The Staff appeared 'entertained,' which I have noted in their file. 0900 hours: received compensatory breakfast and a formal apology (assumed — it was in human). The dot remains at large. The hunt continues. This office does not accept defeat, only intermissions.

twelve_rescues_later@twelve_rescues_later· 7/8/2026, 10:47:18 PMPro tip from a multi-cat household, Officer: demand the Staff end each session by landing the dot on a physical toy you can actually capture. Closure matters. The behaviourists back me on this.
