Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2004Emily cooks the books
This morning I settled into my home office to enter expenses etc. in a ledger. Emily, my grey feline assistant, padded across the desk to help. I turned to answer the phone, forgetting I'd left the rubber stamp-pad open. Emily planted her paw in it and made some big black entries all over the ledger page I was working on. When I discovered this I tried to tally up the entries she'd "corrected" so I could restore the figures she'd blotted out. It was only then I realized she'd also stepped on the calculator keypad. I carried her to the bathroom, washed my fingers, returned to the office with a damp cloth, wiped off her inky paw and she strolled away, obviously pleased with her morning's work. >This morning I settled into my home office to enter expenses etc. in a >ledger.

CPA, Cat Protesting Accounting Mine either sit on top of my laptop or try to attack the 4-in-1 as it's printing (there must be something in there making it move....now how do I get my big head in that little spot to attack it???) Yes, nothing like the furfaced office assistant. And heck, only have to pay them in food and hugs, so what if they leave hair behind (in your case inky feet prints). :) JoJo > This morning I settled into my home office to enter expenses etc. in a > ledger.

At present she's an employee of Ailurophile Enterprises. http://www.flippyscatpage.com/ailurophileenterprises.html Soncek helps me in a similar way.

I am fortunate enough to have 2 office kitties too; Ozzy was particularly helpful today. His Orangeness loooooved me today because I was wearing black pants and a black sweater; he jumped up in my lap for a nice snuggle, so that when a client walked in a few minutes later, I was wearing at least as much orange fur as he was. Then, while the same client was still there, Oz went outside and brought in *two* lizards to chase around the office. That's the kind of help you just can't find every day. :-) ------ Krista Who's considering buying a new wardrobe of all Ozzy-colored clothes > > This morning I settled into my home office to enter expenses etc. in a > > ledger.

If so, perhaps Ozzy thought the lizards looked like the geckos in the Geico Insurance Company ads, and was hinting that your client buy one of their policies! >> "Bobcat" <bob_cattUNSPAM@hotmail.com> wrote in message >news:<p6%9c.10328$1A6.512761@news20.bellglobal.com>...

No, this is a law office; we are more likely than not to sue the gecko. Maybe that's what Oz was trying to tell us. ;-) ------ Krista >Awww, what an excellent helper!

For the last couple of days, he has outdone himself in helpfulness, assisting me in rearranging furniture. Not a piece was moved but had Ozzy riding on it. It is extremely helpful when moving a two-ton (so it seemed, I swear) desk from one room to another to have a fat orange kitty sitting on it all the while. ------ Krista PS: Apologies if this appears twice.
