Almost exactly three years ago, I published a blog-article depicting the reason why, one day, I couldn’t make my bed until two o’clock in the afternoon.
Cammie is no longer with me. But, evidently, the comfort of an unmade bed is still great. Here are my boys impeding my household chores one morning last week.
And, because the lady of the household was not present on the bed, and because Katie Isabella wanted to see a better picture of Minuet’s face, here she is, from the same day. And I had to wait until she moved to vacuum the library’s couch.
OH she IS a beautiful Lady! I never could see her face well enough! No wonder the mancats are polite.
ReplyDeleteAnd I certainly know what it is like to have housework un-done for hours. If someone is on the bed..then the bed remains un-made until it is free of its Master or Mistress. If someone is in your most favorite chair then it will remain furred up until the Master or Mistress has vacated. Then, you may rubber-glove off the furs. If someone is using their commode, then you will remain away from the room until they are finished and flushing is ceased. If someone is watching their baby shows on the telly, then you will simply wait until they have exited the room fr any shows you wish to see. And of course, you mayn't close a door.
What you said is so true. I learned long ago that I pay the rent but the cats own the apartment.
ReplyDeleteAS we always say...
ReplyDelete"Dogs have owners..cats have staff"..
So many times I had to wait to make the bed. Asking if anyone wanted to go for a walk usually did the trick though. They would go out and wait at the garden gate tapping their toes in impatience while I rushed to make the bed first.
ReplyDeleteThere is no doubt that our cats know what they want when they want it. And of course as their servants we continue to provide. And with a smile on our face.
ReplyDeleteI remember that post with Cammie. :-)
ReplyDeleteI tend to make my bed soon after I get up, so it's rarely an issue for me. However, in pretty much every other way Derry definitely calls the shots. :-P
Same thing happens here. :)
ReplyDeleteThe cats believe the bed is made up just right! MOL
ReplyDeleteHa! Yeah, that reminds me of my mornings. No matter how badly I need that first cup of coffee, nothing gets done until I break out the cat breakfast and clean the cat litter boxes.
ReplyDeleteSame here. I like to scoop out the boxes early because sometimes mine won't use them if they are too soiled.

Yep, unmade beds are the best! Minuet sure is a pretty ladycat.
ReplyDeleteSaku did that earlier this week. He especially seems to appreciate the spot I've vacated....once he's been fed and watered.
ReplyDeleteMinuet looks very comfortable in her library. :)
Everything has to be put on hold when kitties are in charge!
