DP and I saw this story play out yesterday morning:

Once upon a time, Kumani found the perfect spot to sleep in.  It was
warm and soft and shaped like a cat.  It was on top of some of the
pillows in the bed.  Kumani crept into the "princess perch" for a nap.

Then something dark and sinister came along.  "You're in my throne,"
Nocturne said.

"There is a big bed here with lots of other pillows," Kumani replied
sleepily.

"You fail to understand," Nocturne said, sitting herself down before
the throne to regard Kumani with a disapproving glare. "That is the
throne of La Nocturne.  I am Nocturne...and you are not.  Be gone at
once!"

"I was here first!" Kumani protested, flattening her ears.

Nocturne curled her tail around her toes and was not impressed.

Kumani growled, tailtip lashing.

Nocturne did not move for ten minutes; Kumani stayed on the defensive,
growling, tailwagging, in the face of the dark queen's stoicism.
Finally, Nocturne turned her head away, and Kumani relaxed.

Which was when Nocturne pounced and tore out a mouthful of tabby fur.

Kumani, crying, fled the bed.  Nocturne settled smugly into the
princess perch.

DP informed Nox that he was not amused. Nox informed him that she did
not care.

Then there was revenge.

DP had the bitties chasing the light reflected from the face of his
watch.  Finally in a devlish mood, he put the light spot right on the
wall over the pillows...right over the princess perch.  Kumani's
instinct overcame her fear and she leapt for the spot...and landed on
the widest thing in the area, which happened to be Nocturne's
generously sized arse end.

Nocturne was so SHOCKED at being POUNCED ON while in HER OWN THRONE
that she slunk off to her office under the bed, where she could begin
to COPE with this OUTRAGE.

And Kumani got the princess perch.
