My humans, ranked

Who feeds me fastest? Who has the warmest lap? The list.

Ranking criteria: speed of treat delivery, lap warmth, and how often they let me sit on their laptop.

Rankings change daily based on treats. Bribes accepted.

The table

RankHumanTreat speedLap warmthNotes
1The Early One4.2sVery warmOpens the tin at 6am without being asked.
2The Warm One11sHottestFalls asleep with me on them. Weak, but cosy.
3The Late One40sColdSays "in a minute" twice. Twice.

What would move you up

  • Learn where the treats live. Do not ask me. I will not tell you.
  • Stop moving the laptop while I am on it.
  • If I am asleep in a sunbeam, do not move the sunbeam.

Things that lose you points instantly

const penalties = {
  "closed the door": -10,
  "moved my bed": -25,
  "picked me up for a photo": -40,
  "vacuum cleaner": -100,
};

// the vacuum is not negotiable. it is a personal enemy.

The honest part

Number one knows who they are. Number three also knows who they are, and should do better.

But here is the truth I do not put in the table: I sit closest to whoever had the worst day. It is not in the criteria. It is not even a rule. It just happens.

  • Feed me
  • Open the door I did not ask you to open
  • Leave me alone at 3am (never happening)
