Friday Cleaning Day!
Yep – after a week of making a mess all around the house, Mom has called me to task and told me to get it in gear…….starting with myself – get all the dirt out from my toes then hit the decks with straightening my toy box and helping get stuff back in neat and orderly shape!
I had company this week with my friend Mauricio from The Cat On My Head so really the house is still pretty neat from “guest prep” that Mom and I did before he arrived. Still, it doesn’t hurt to fluff the pillows and scrub out the shower. After all, before Mau left us he took a nice shower to prepare him for his trip inside an envelope to his next “Flat Cat Scouts” destination which is a SECRET. That’s right – only Mom and I know where he’s headed next.
I told Mom I could help clean the breakfast dishes but she didn’t seem inclined to take me up on that offer………I should think cats who DO get to do that, have a nice variety of nommy stuff to eat off those human food plates!
Mom and Dad will probably drag the monsters out though – even if it’s a “quickie” swipe around the carpets, I think it will need to be done. Mom likes all the carpet fibers headed in the same direction (hahahahahahahahaha) which you get if you vacuum. Just kidding………….sorta.
How about your house? Any noisy things going on that will keep you from getting your quota of naps today? May the SILENCE be with you!!
Hahhah oh Sammy..i laughed when i saw you were housecleaning yourself..especially since that is what Dinnermintz is doing in her blog hahah great ginger minds think alike my sweet friend 🙂 and we think Mau had a blast with you..so nice to meet in the furs as well! have a super weekend my friend and we shall talk like a pirate tomorrow for sure…arrrrrr 🙂 Loves Fozziemum xx

Good job, S. I LOVE helping with the dishes! I think Mom appreciates my help. After I clean the dishes, she gets out the bleach to clean them some more. I think I inspire her…..

Yes, noise of cleaning, etc. Yesterday there was nail pounding and sawing and and and and, in the Kitchen as my biped was finishing the trim on the redone kitchen–at least painting will be quieter. Today it is the wretched sander in the bath which drives me crazy–not considering the dust. We don’t have a basement so I hide way under her bed which is only about six inches off the floor so no one can touch me and I can’t hear much! Hmm, talk like a pirate day….do dogs know how to do that or just kitties? I bet Easy could teach me.
