You are serving your function by providing feline entertainment. She is serving her function by enjoying it.

Wait until you actually leave and she hacks up a furball into the most-worn shoe you leave behind and takes a piss behind the couch.

Annoy the Feline Overlord at your peril by upsetting the routine.

This trip is also going to be interesting in that it will be her first extended period as the sole occupant of the house since I still had Tuxedo Cat and Chat Noir the last time I was gone for more than a couple of days. Will be interested if she starts getting sociable with the cat sitter after the first day or two. (For previous trips the cat sitters have reported that the Overlords all got much more attention-seeking from them by the 5th or 6th day.)
