The official account

In his own words.

Greetings peasants, I am King Trunks - Supreme Ruler of this domain (and yes, that includes the computer my human thinks they own). When I'm not graciously blessing this household with my royal presence, I specialize in professional napping (18 hours a day, I'm very dedicated), strategic 3 AM zoomies, and conducting vocal performances at the most inconvenient times possible - particularly during my human's video calls.

I've mastered the art of keyboard walking, with a special talent for sending incomprehensible emails to my human's boss. My current projects include perfecting the "knock everything off the desk" technique and developing new ways to fit into impossibly small boxes (because if it fits, I sits - it's not just a saying, it's a lifestyle).

As for my credentials - I hold a PhD in Treat Acquisition, am a certified expert in Bird TV (window watching), and was voted "Most Likely to Meow Until the Human Wakes Up" at the Neighborhood Cat Academy. My human thinks they're a programmer, but let's be honest - who's really running this show? I mean, who else could orchestrate the perfect timing of sitting on their keyboard right before they save their code?

For business inquiries, please leave offerings of catnip and salmon treats by the food bowl. My assistant (whom I generously allow to think they're my owner) will review your request once I've approved their schedule.

Honours & credentials

Formally recognised.

01
PhD in Treat Acquisition

Awarded on merit, with honours, after a single salmon-flavoured examination.

02
Certified Expert in Bird TV

Endured hours of window watching. Has never once caught a bird. Considers this a feature.

03
Most Likely to Meow Until the Human Wakes Up

Neighborhood Cat Academy, annual ballot. Unanimous.

Field notes

Observed behaviour.

The desk sweep
A single decisive paw placed at the edge of anything fragile. Timing is never accidental.
The pre-save sit
Occupies the keyboard at the exact moment code is about to be saved. Cause and effect remain unexplained.
The 3 AM chorus
A full-volume performance, ideally during a video call. Considers interruptions rude.
Business inquiries
Reviewed at his convenience, which is whenever he feels like it.
For business inquiries, please leave offerings of catnip and salmon treats by the food bowl. The schedule is reviewed only once it has been approved.
In summary

King Trunks is a persian & siamese mix and the uncontested administrator of this household, this computer, and most of the desk. He naps eighteen hours a day, conducts vocal performances at the worst possible moments, and reserves his finest work for the keyboard.

My human thinks he is a programmer. He would like it noted that he is the one being programmed.
