Thwarted domesticity

[cats' staff]

Well the weather is not great here today so I thought I would do some domestic chores as I couldn't get to the allotment. It didn't quite go to plan

First job- get clean linen from the airing cupboard. I opened the door to be met by an indignant 'miaow'

Do you mind- I'm snoozing here!

I quietly took some bed linen and went into the bedroom where I realised that I may have to delay changing the duvet cover for quite some time

Well one can't disturb a sleeping Smudge!

Never mind, thought I, I'll go and vacuum the living room. Hmmmm, would you have risked waking his nibs up?

You see I'm not a slob honest! I'm just thwarted at every turn. I had a cup of tea and ate some chocolate instead but it wasn't my fault!

Great pics. No way would it have been nice to disturb them.

Maybe tomorrow!!

No, no, no. Of course you couldn't disturb those sleeping beauties - chocolate wins hands down - every time ;) . . . oh, and allotment?? You kept that quiet! :lol:

[angieh]

You did absolutely the right thing. It's rare to get such good sensitive staff these days, I'm sure!

[dandysmom]

Loved those pics! Only a heartless person would disturb your trio of sleeping beauties! You are indeed well trained! :-D

I'm glad you all agree I couldn't POSSIBLY have disturbed them by doing housework around them!

Yola, yes, I'm lucky I have an allotment just across the road. I'm not so lucky that it is Cambridgeshire clay- digging is hard work and I've mostly got raised beds!

Cats are perfect household tidying deterents.....I mean how can you disturb such sleeping perfection.

I like you raised beds....you should chat to Mrs Goodlife Yola

LOL!!! I love your allotment there . . . my raised beds are more due to my obsession over order and the need for an organized space than soil . . . although across our allotment the soil moves from lovely soft loam to quite heavy clay - within the space of 10M!!!

And hey - Karen; my life ain't all that good - although it probably would be if I look anything like Felicity Kendall ;)

They just want you to have a rest, it is Sunday after all...:lol:

not disturbing the masters/mistresses of the house is as good a reason as any i can think of not to do housework!

[Leesy]

What sweet pics of sleepy cats, and no it would not have been right to have disturbed them from their slumber:D :D

[dinahsmum]

Cats are a wonderful reason not to do housework!
