Kitty Cats Helping (or Not!)
Every Wednesday, I gather up the grocery store sale ads and plan my menu. This involves getting out my planner, my laptop and cookbooks and magazine with recipes that I want to try.
Since it’s been raining every day and Coco only goes outside for a quick minute, this also involves Coco helping. It begins simple enough with Coco sitting on my planner. You might also notice that I have Evernote open on the laptop. I keep my weekly menus stored in a note, that way if I’m at the grocery store and they don’t have something, I can open the note and see what I was planning on using it in and seeing if I can make a substitution.
Note – these photos were taken with my phone, not my DSLR.
Then it became a little more troublesome. This is where she opens up apps that I didn’t even know I had, changes the laptop over to voice recognition and starts my collection of Patsy Cline songs playing.
She finds that she quite likes Patsy Cline and that it’s good music to groom to.
And with that, I’ve decided that maybe I’ll come back later to do my menu planning! Can you spot Luxie in the last photo? And, do you notice that my two orchids are about to bloom again?! They have gotten on the same blooming schedule!
For my artsy photo, I used Topaz Labs – I tried a different one of the edits and I really don’t like it as well as the others.

Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.
Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend. Scritches to Coco. ♥

February 28, 2019 at 5:00 pmOh boy! Our kitties would be in so much trouble if they sat on Mom’s laptop! They do almost anything they want, but they know to stay off Mom’s desk and away from her computer. You seem to be enjoying your computer time, kitty.

February 25, 2019 at 6:23 amWe saw Luxie on her table and Coco and Scylla must be twin “helpers” that is how Scylla helps the Mom do stuffs on the computer.

February 24, 2019 at 8:01 amPRICELESS I love how cats just always manage to find a shortcut on the keyboard that nobody ever found before. I guess Apple really needs to hire more cats, MOL
As ever, we love your images this week and the sequencing is perfect. Patsy Cline not so in this house, but I’m sure anything mellow classical would do just as well.

February 23, 2019 at 4:23 pmIn the second photo, she appears to be musing over which key to select, Has she turned your display 90 degrees yet ? That stumped even the guys at the computer shop,

February 23, 2019 at 9:36 amDon’t you just love it when they ‘help’? MOL! Precious photo’s today, and I’m so envious of your organization skills – I am much happier when I plan menus before shopping, but it happens rarely – MOL!

February 23, 2019 at 7:59 amWell, you made it so warm and comfy for her so what’s a girl to do but lay down and rest. Re-blooming is the of the things I love about orchids.
Happy Weekend Pam.

February 23, 2019 at 3:45 amCoco finds the laptop a nice warm place to groom and then nap.
She reminds me of when I got a new laptop. I was sitting in the recliner finding my way around it and Flynn was on the arm helping me. He obviously decided I was having problems with something and took matters into his own paws.
Next thing I knew, the icons were getting bigger and bigger until 4 icons covered the whole screen. I took me over an hour to get it back the way it should be!

February 23, 2019 at 12:52 pmHow funny! I always have to fix something after she gets up!
