Head empty. Bed warm.
No Thoughts Cat
He clocked in before remembering what the job was.

Natural Talents
NTC handles every household emergency with the same method: sit squarely, look concerned, and wait for the problem to lose interest. The paws remain available for blanket compression while the head maintains a strict no-delivery policy for ideas.
Blank Stare
Rejects incoming ideas before they can become chores.
Soft Paws
Compress blankets without disturbing the important nothing underneath.
Bed Shift
Arrives early, stays horizontal, and leaves when breakfast becomes plausible.
Night Shift
At 2:13 a.m., NTC reports to the warm side of the bed. The notebook stays closed. The pencil remains exactly where it was left. He inspects one wrinkle in the duvet, approves it without comment, then watches the hallway until breakfast becomes statistically likely. Nobody assigned him this work. Nobody has managed to replace him.
Nothing came up. Excellent work.
NTC remains comfortably unavailable.
