What Happened
A house cat named Muffin allegedly discovered the lullaby button on a baby monitor late Thursday and immediately repurposed it into what witnesses are calling “the world’s softest demand for tuna.” The first song played at 12:14 a.m. The second followed at 12:17. By 12:25, the family was awake, confused, and standing in the hallway while Muffin sat beside her empty bowl with the calm expression of an artist waiting for applause.
The family initially blamed a glitch until the monitor camera caught Muffin pressing the button with one paw, pausing dramatically, and staring directly into the lens. When nobody responded fast enough, she selected the rain-sounds option, creating a sleepy spa atmosphere around a very serious food negotiation.
Why This Matters
This matters because every smart home eventually develops a tiny night manager, and that manager may have whiskers, excellent timing, and no respect for office hours.
Deeper Context
The monitor has been moved to a higher shelf, although Muffin has reportedly begun studying a nearby step stool with troubling ambition. For another pet treating household gadgets like executive tools, revisit the golden retriever who opened a snack help desk.
