THE WATCHERS

Sometimes, actually a lot of the time, mine Mommy watches me.
(Evidence: all the photos she takes of me.)

Sometimes, I watch mine Mommy.
(No evidence: sans thumbs I can't work the camera phone.)
 
Just a few minutes ago, I was enjoying a nice little cat nap here in this chair.  


Suddenly, I was rudely awakened by all this
clatter from our hallway and when I looked over that way all I could see was
her big butt sticking out of the hall closet and assorted things being tossed out
and scattered on the floor behind her behind.  What now?  Again?

You see, here's the thing (secret, don't tell I told) whenever she gets bored,
she's starts cleaning, or tidying (things that are already clean or tidy) or
reorganizing things reorganized only a short time ago.  
Me, I just have to put up with it.

And so, as I'm watching her and before I can swish a tail,
she's watching me, and out comes that camera ...
and you guessed it:

This is the picture of me watching her.
We are the watchers.

  1. Look how comfy you were napping before the stuffs started flying out of the closet, Juney. I hope you can get back to your napping soon!

  2. We kitty cats don't need to clean the house do we. We just enjoy the comfort.

  5. Gosh, June, when I get bored or antsy, I reach for a book, and a kitty to sleep in my lap.

  7. June word to you from the mouths of my grand kitties...beware of boxes. My daughter and soninlaw and 3 grandkitties
    moved into a new home on March 8th. There was lots of tossin' going on and lots of boxes. My daughter said she counted kitty noses before she taped boxes. The kitties adjusted very well to the move. Frady Cat Frisco the Ginger was the first one to venture downstairs, followed by Mia da tortie. Ironically Harper the social butterfly watched from the stairs while the older kitties explored. Now all are loving it

  13. It sounds like your mommy could make a business out of helping people get organized.
