Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005Rosie, construction supervisor
Rosie has decided that Jim needs supervision when he works on his projects in the garage. Jim leaves the garage door open for light and ventilation while he works out there. Rosie has started hanging out in the driveway out front while he works, not minding the noise from the power saw and other loud tools. Yesterday, Rosie was in the house, meeping and chirping at Jim, insisting she must go outside. He opened the back door (which is the only "out" door for the cats) and she went out into the back yard. A few minutes later, she wanted in. He let her in, and she immediately wanted out. This repeated a couple of times, until he let her out back and went into the garage to work on his project. Once in the garage, he opened the big garage door, and there was Rosie out front, sitting just outside the door, waiting for him to start working.

By the second "wanting out" I figured already that she wanted HIM to come out too. We hoomans take a while to get things. > in article 5L1Ud.28284$Of5.18432@nntpserver.swip.net, ...>> > LOL!!

We are kind of slow, but fortunately, cats usually have a lot of patience, at least Rosie does. Cinder would be the exception. Usually I'm the first one up in the morning, but yesterday Jim had to get up a little earlier because he was taken a friend to the airport. The whole time I was getting myself together in the bathroom, Cinder was pacing the counter and the floor, yelling at me at the top of her lungs. I don't appreciate being yelled at first thing in the morning, so I told her to go downstairs and Jim would give her breakfast. But, no, she had to keep it up. When I finally got downstairs, I discovered Rosie waiting patiently for her breakfast and Jim had not fed them after all. I could almost hear a "humph" from Cinder when I put the food down.

If we don't get out to check on them often enough, they come to the door and ask to come in and check on us.

The first few days out on the island every summer, Frank doesn't want to be outside without me. He comes to the house and shouts for me outside until I go out and watch him play or lounge or whatever he is doing. I try to sneak back in when he isn't looking, but he always comes back and shouts for me.

Melody (RB) fancied herself to be a plumber's assistant. Too bad nobody told the plumber this. The plumber was in my basement, working on my furnace. Having strangers in the house was Harmony's cue to hide, but Melody loved people. I should have figured that she'd want to make friends with the plumber. I was in the living room, reading a book. Suddenly, I heard, "Um, Miss [name]? Can you come down here a moment?" I wondered what was the matter, and went downstairs. There was Melody, sitting all tall and alert, IN the plumber's toolbox. It was the perfect vantage point for her to watch what he was about to do with the furnace. Except for the minor detail that he needed to access the tools she was sitting on before he could actually get any work done. I couldn't help but laugh. "Sorry about that!", I said, retrieving the cat and placing her on the cellar windowsill. That sill was too tall for her to reach unassisted, because she wasn't a high-jumping cat, so to look out the cellar window was a big treat for her. It was also higher than she normally jumped DOWN from without assistance. Either way -- the novelty of being up there or the unwillingness to jump that far down any time soon -- I figured she'd leave the plumber alone long enough to finish his work. Sure enough, all was well. The plumber completed his task, after which Harmony came out of hiding and I retrieved one wee Melody who wasn't especialy willing to abandon her perch in the cellar window. Captain and Stanley like to watch everything, too. But I think it's a "Watch it because it's there" sort of observation. At least for now. Donna, Captain, and Stanley > LOL! > > Melody (RB) fancied herself to be a plumber's assistant. Too bad nobody > told the plumber this. ...> Donna, Captain, and Stanley That was so funny I made Jim come in from the garage so I could read it to him. He really laughed about Melody sitting right on top of the tools. Annie > Rosie has decided that Jim needs supervision when he works on > his projects in the garage.

Good slave! hehehe > Cheryl Can you believe that when we met, he thought that he didn't like cats? It took a stray kitten (Mac, RB) who insisted that Jim was his human to change his mind. Now, Rosie has us convinced that she has spoiled us rotten, and who are we to argue? Annie > Can you believe that when we met, he thought that he didn't like > cats?

SignatureCheryl > Rosie has decided that Jim needs supervision when he works on his projects > in the garage. Reminds me of Redunzel when we had the painters round. Sarrasine, who likes to think she is tough but is really a softie went and hid but Redunzel sat and watched the painter very intensely. Luckily he was a cat lover, I once overheard her mewing and him saying "Thanks I didn't realise I'd missed a bit." One day she went missing and we were worried because she was only a kitten so I went out to ask the painters if they had seen her.....and there she was! They were having a tea break and so was she, sitting there next to them and glad to recieve any nibbles that came her way Lesley Slave to the Fabulous Furballs
