We have such helpful kitties! I was trying to pack a box of stuff I'm
returning, and Maya, Luna, Fez and Rufous were determined to give me a
hand, er paw. They made sure the box was taped securely, that it had
plenty of space inside and that the stuff inside was arranged properly.
Such helpful kitties!
It did take me 1/2 hrs instead of 10 minutes, but they had so much fun!

First thing that happened when I got my "vacation mail" was I opened up a
box. Guess who jumped right into it? Yep! Oooh, a welcome home box!
(laughing)

I think Persia wants me to mail her to meet Weebles. Sorry gal, ain't gonna
happen (wink).

Now wait a minute Victor.....you're not being totally fair. Let's do
the math:

10 minutes by yourself to pack.

30 minutes with help.

4 cats helping.

Give each cat 10 minutes (you gave yourself 10, remember?).

4 x 10 equals 40 minutes.

End result.......you're 10 minutes ahead of schedule!

LOL! It's amazing how much you don't get done when you have enough help.

I remember quite a long time ago reading in the newspaper about a gentleman
who lived in London. He had a very important meeting in New York that
evening. The flight was fine. He got a taxi that got him to the hotel in
time. He threw his suitcase on the bed, opened it. And out popped his cat!

I wondered if the cat was helping the gentleman pack and the man didn't
realize it or the man was packing and the cat wanted to help. I never did
hear what the gentleman did with the puss and often think of the sitution
and wonder what happened.

ROTFL

'fraid that would never happen here, as I do my best to cram as much
stuff in the suitcase as possible. If I find there's room left, I drag
out a smaller suitcase and pack everything in it and leave the bigger
one home.

IIRC the gentleman in question was British Airways cabin crew and the
cat was flown back to London free of charge.
