Once I came home from grocery shopping and was putting stuff away when one of my cats stuck his nose into one of those thin plastic shopping bags with handles (the industry term is “t-shirt bags). Well he got his head through the handle and when he tried to get away the bag became a cape. This evil thing stuck to him and terrified him so he bolted around the house trying to get away. Of course that led to the “cape” flapping even more. We managed to stifle our laughter and corner him to get the bag off. He showed little interest in grocery bags after that.
Puss in boots? Yes, yes! That’s what happens when you (or your head) get too big for your boots…and – to boot – others just laugh when you are shaking in your boots
Elvis, you are just venting out of jealousy. And misremembering out of embarrassment. If indeed you were stuck, I’m sure the Woman reacted with appropriate panic to rescue Mommy’s Special Creampuff. Was this when you were a baby kitten? Because otherwise the news crew would have footage.
To be fair, Elvis, when you were discovered trapped under the couch, the Woman let you hug her face and called you her good boy. https://www.gocomics.com/breaking-cat-news/2017/08/05

I think we now need a special retrospective report on how Elvis managed to do that, especially if there are pictures.

I think Elvis is a bit jealous of the robo vacuum. I am still waiting to see it wearing a little hat.

Is Elvis just a teensy bit jealous of Tortimer? Tortimer is really loving the Woman!

That’s why you have to leave the room before laughing at a cat. They never forget or forgive.

At the Palace Royal Archives
Beatrixia: It was nice seeing Broom-Sweepa at the Afar Public Library and Koffee Shop, wasn’t it, Elvis-Anum?
Elvis-Anum: Yes. I wonder how Whisk is making out at Brush Camp?
Beatrixia: I’m sure he’s having a great time. It reminds me of the fun I had at Scribe Camp.
Elvis-Anum: Ah, yes. I remember learning how to mix pigments and make colored inks.
Beatrixia: I remember a story about the legendary Multicolored Meese. Apparently something to do with an ink mixing mishap.
Elvis-Anum: There was no legend about that in my time. I’m sure it was a complete fiction with no basis in fact.

Leave it to Elvis to be jealous of the new “addition” to the family.

Woman said there’ll be days like this
There’ll be days like this, Woman said
(Woman said, Woman said)
Tort was brrring-ing it his first day
Everything was going fine
He met a crazy cat named Lupin
And then he almost lost his mind
Woman said there’ll be days like this
There’ll be days like this, Woman said
(Woman said, Woman said)
First day on the job is tough, as reported by Puck
Tortie got a little a lost & metric bonkers stuck
But he don’t worry ’cause
Woman said there’ll be days like this
There’ll be days like this, Woman said
(Woman said, Woman said)
And then she said there’ll be much better days
You’ll be sure to soon know your way, and try to keep
Those mean old Elvis-hating boots at bay
We’ve all had those kind of days, so don’t worry ’cause
We all know about days like this
There’ll be days like this, we all say
(We all say, we all say)
We all say there’ll be days like this
Hey, don’t you worry now
Smile instead, laugh instead (but not at Elvis)
Hey, hey

Elvis… the boot incident was ridiculous. That’s why The Woman laughed. (I would’ve too!)

It’s possible that Elvis’s natural temperament makes him more vulnerable to that sort of thing.
