My cat has beef with the Smart Kid

There’s this one kid in my class who is basically the physical form of “I take school VERY seriously.”
Always has a stack of papers, three highlighters, a clipboard, and trauma from group projects.

Anyway, today he came over to work on an assignment with me.

My cat took this VERY personally.

He walked in like:
“Hello, I brought the rubric, a thesis outline, and—”

BAM.
Cat jumped onto the table, sat on his papers, and stared at him like:

“Your degrees mean NOTHING here.”

The poor boy froze.
He tried to gently slide the papers out from under her.

She responded by slapping his hand like she was defending her doctoral dissertation.

He whispered, “She’s… territorial.”
Bro, she is fighting for tenure.

At one point she knocked his pen off the table, and he said “Oh— that’s okay,”
but you could SEE the academic pain in his soul.

Then, when he tried to reread his notes, she laid directly across them like a furry censorship bar.

He sighed and said,
“I respect your… interference, but I do need that paragraph.”

She blinked slowly like:
“No.”

In the end, he bribed her with a single treat.
She accepted like a mafia boss.
Only THEN he got his papers back.

We got a B on the assignment.
Honestly?
Better than expected considering the cat tried to sabotage his entire academic career.
