Is it possible to do anything without "help" from a cat?

Barney is convinced that massaging my stomach helps my back pain no end!
He was invaluable while we were wrapping Christmas presents - he always had a bow in his paws when we needed one. and very helpfully held down the end of the paper for me to cut lengths off the roll by sitting on it.
Barnes is also concerned that my head may get cold at night when sleeping - so he turns himself into a turban.
He also likes to inspect the inside of kitchen cupboards, the utility room and any room which I stupidly leave the door open. So as I cant have him thinking I am a mucky mare - I make sure the insides are tidy!

the elder of my two sees it as her duty to block my view of laptop screen so I do not spend too much time online, to make sure my head is safely on pillow by standing over me staring at me so closely her whiska's tickle, and teaching me to me a pirate by sitting on my shoulder whilst turning it into a colander

i am currently typing this on my laptop, with my Ed completely blocking my view - he is using my chest as a shelf and I'm having to peer round him to see the screen, and type blind. He waits outside the bathroom door for me, ready to save me no doubt if i get into any trouble in there :rotfl:.

Our cat has added nursing to her list of skills.

At the weekend my husband had dental surgery and quite a lot of stitches. Our cat has helped to check out how well it is healing by walking across his face whilst he sleeps.

If OH cries out and wakes up, this means it is still sore and more time will be required before it is healed.

:rotfl::rotfl: sorry to your OH - but thats hilarious!

I must be the meanest cat Mummy in the world as after the first experience I refuse to have Cookie in the bathroom with me. She can carry on getting her thrills from watching DH and DS2 intently when they are peeing.

I can see that my dressmaking is going to be a very trying affair. Sigh. Why can't she just stick at stalking me at the top of the stairs and pawing at my hands when they are on on the spindles and newel post?? I am fairly charitable and accept that she is not actually trying to hasten my demise .... Although given the speed with which she hurtles out of DS2's room when she realises that I am about to descend I am not so sure.

To be fair she has only done this one night (well it only woke us one night) the really naughty bit is that I refused to lock her out of the bedroom on subsequent nights. Because she cries and creates.

Cats make great nurses, mine love 'sick days'. They attend the loo each time and wait while one is sick, Then curl lovingly into one in bed.


Mine are excited this morning because I am running a bath (this is a touch and go process in our house as we don't have running hot water apart from a cranky electric shower, that doesn't hold a high heat. Its mild enough this morning in the ip unheated house to risk running this water into the tub, and sit in it for a bit I think.

My cats LOVE a bath, they like it scented like mine will be today, but they like bubble bath the best, They flick it around the bathroom on their paws, from their positions on a not quite submerged bathing belly, or a side of the bath.

I visit businesses & find the cats clue me as to what paperwork I need to look at next - by sprawling on it.

Although I think the bloke with whose *tiny* kitten had a purr like a V8 had much to distract me from, the kitten worked...
