There to Help

Finnegan  helps with a sewing project

                One of the “benefits” of having cats is all the extra help you get around the house.  Not only are they willing to help stir the cake batter with their paws, bat floor trash into the dustbin, and redirect plant water with their noses, they also enjoy sitting on pattern pieces being fed through the sewing machine and grabbing papers as they shoot out of the printer.

                Who could turn away such valuable assistance?  If I’m in a hurry the last thing I need is this bunch of clowns creating more mess and chaos. If I do have time for the distraction, it can be highly entertaining.  They turn bed sheet changing into a whack-a-mole game,  dish washing into splash time, and sweeping into a round of floor hockey.
             I don't suppose they'll ever be able to work off their room and board (except maybe Toby, whose ragmop coat is good for dusting whatever surface he lies on) but I think we'll keep them around for amusement.
