Reality: We’re Bored and the Universe Has Wronged Us!

Listen up. When I chew a toy into molecular dust, it isn’t because I’m “being naughty.” It’s because I am a being of great intelligence and limited patience. I need stimulation. Adventures. Missions. Challenges. I cannot simply sit here while you answer emails for seven hours.

So if your pet is redecorating your home through destruction, consider the possibility that they are bored and seeking enrichment.

Puzzle toys. Snuffle mats. Treat dispensers. Tough chews. These tools prevent household chaos and keep us from becoming tiny agents of entropy.

You’re not fixing a “behavior problem.” You’re supporting our cosmic journey. You’re welcome.
