Remembering how our founding fathers responded to tyranny, I boldly declared to the Evil Cat Minions, “Don’t Tread on Me!”

Unfortunately, one Minion took this as challenge:

They are treading on me.
She unleashed her Evil Mind Control Rays and my bold statement became:
“Well, OK you can Tread on Me a little.”

The Minions continue to tread on me.
It was all I could do to fight back by rubbing her ears and scratching her chin that I was able to break her mind control.
I ran into the house and opened a can of tuna and gave it to her to break off her Evil Mind Control. That will teach her to tread on me.
