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.

Coco love that warm laptop. That's why she's there and she is helping you. Without her your post wouldn't be as precious.
Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.
Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend. Scritches to Coco. ♥

Oh 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.

Great job Coco, you've got it all covered pretty girl! Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

Coco is a riot! I love how she is lying on your laptop. Too funny. She seems very helpful. lol

We 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.

Hello gorgeous girl. We have never seen a photo of you we didn't like! We love your creative calico postures~!

PRICELESS 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.

You are so right, they definitely need to test with kitty cats!
Ellen Pilch says
Such a good helper and excellent taste in music 🙂
Melissa & Mudpie says
I would say she has very good taste in music!

In 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,
Pam Greer says
Oh my gosh, that's too funny! No, she hasn't figured that out yet!
Athena says
What a cutie!

Don'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!
Cheryl says
Well, 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.
Memories of Eric and Flynn says
Coco 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!
Pam Greer says
How funny! I always have to fix something after she gets up!
Heather says
So cute! My cat Nala does the same thing right as I'm sitting down to get my work done on the laptop!
