"My darling kitten Lyla was featured in a newsletter for cats! She is three times bigger now than these photos taken a few months ago, but always just as cute."

Lyla is a fluffy, long-haired white kitten with dark markings on her face, paws, and tail. She peers down from atop a stack of boxes. Her big blue eyes glow with curiosity, head tilted slightly as if pondering what she sees, while her small paws dangle gently over the edge. — Image source: Everything is Temporary

What is your name, and why are you the most magnificent creature in the universe?

My name is Lyla (pronounced as in the beginning of lilac) and I have the floofiest ears in the universe.

Lyla, a fluffy white kitten with dark face markings, nestles beneath a pink fleece blanket, her head peeking out as she sleeps. Her eyes rest in gentle slits, and long wisps of ear hair flow gracefully across the carpet. — Image source: Everything is Temporary

How did you choose your human to be your supplicant?

They were looking for a hypoallergenic emotional support animal, and I volunteered as tribute.

Lyla, the fluffy white kitten with dark face markings, sprawls across a keyboard while gazing cutely at something off to the side. Her curious expression and relaxed pose make it clear she’s entirely unbothered about blocking the human’s writing. — Image source: Everything is Temporary

What is the most amusing way you confound your human?

Adding typos to their writing from behind the computer.

Lyla shows off her fluffy white and flowing fur, by sitting perched on a pile of items on an office desk by a window. She looks upward happily, her bright blue eyes shining. Her extremely long ear hairs flow gracefully, and her light brown paws rest on a box of stationary. — Image source: Everything is Temporary

By what means will you inevitably achieve world domination?

By chewing through the most important structures and hiding behind my innocent cuteness.

Lyla perches on top of a printer, poised as if about to leap off the paper tray as if it’s a diving board. Her tail curls behind her, the tip half shaded a soft grey that gradually fades into pure white near her body. — Image source: Everything is Temporary

What else does the world need to know about you?

I lose those fun coil spring toys at the rate of one a minute. I know my name but I can't always be bothered to respond to it. I am the perfect kitten in every single way. My human wrote about me here.
