Kumquat and the Siege


Kumquat can't seem to figure out why everyone isn't always happy to see him, all the time, any time.  After all, he's always happy to see everyone.  All the time.
After a rather long walk tonight, Sneaky Squirrel retired to his favorite sleeping spot, a cat cube which the cats abandoned immediately upon smelling dog.  Kumquat wanted to spend time with Sneaky Squirrel, after all they had only already spent the entire day together.  It was not enough, not yet.
Sneaky Squirrel would not come out of the cat cube, so Kumquat laid siege to the cube.  He lay in front of it, his large head blocking the cube entrance.  Every now and then he attempted to enter the cat cube, which is not an impossibility when the cube is empty, but it is definitely an impossibility when the cube is occupied.  This Kumquat did not understand.
Alternating with Kumquat's attempts to enter the cube was his whining at Sneaky Squirrel to come out and play. 

The cat cube siege went on until Sneaky Squirrel (and I) could take it no longer.  I went into the kitchen and opened the treat drawer.  End of siege.
