Grocery day always is exciting for the boys. I open the door, hands straining under the weight of several shopping bags, and there they are: Andy and Dougy, the grocery inspectors!
Of course, Andy didn’t stay to be photographed today because he thought I was getting ready to catch him to give him medicine when I set down the last of the bags…! (The thought occurred! 🙂 )
That left the inspection up to Dougy and Dougy alone.
High above the scene, Dougy surveys the bags awaiting inspection…!
A plan of attack formulated, Dougy hops to the floor.
Whew! At ground level, the size of the task becomes evident!
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step!” Dougy notes.
“Let the inspection begin! One potato…, two potatoes…, three potatoes….”
That was pretty exhausting for both Doug and Dougy, so Doug retired to the computer – natch! – with a tub of yummy Greek yoghurt (peach-flavored) made from milk of contented Colorado cows. He had a visitor. This wasn’t on the inspection tour…was it?!
“This is MY yoghurt, Dougy! MINE! MINE! MINE!”
The cat brothers aren’t the only selfish ones in this household! Hee~hee!
You know that with cats, what is theirs is theirs and what is yours is theirs too.
Very true, and it applies across the board, even for those things cats have no particular use for or ability to use. (Computer keyboard, for example…!)
Your yogurt looks like it will be under attack shortly… 🙂
I beat him to it! Yum!
LOL They are so funny! Bo had a bathroom accident the other day and I was chasing him around the house trying to clean him up! Now I know how you feel!
Woohoo! The joys…! 🙂
any cat treats
would quickly
be revealed 🙂
Or supposed treats, too! They were interested in some mint Oreos, but chocolate and sugar are not for kitties. It must remind them of catnip, which is a member of the mint family, of course.
Love it! Sonu Singh is always ready for a good nose around the groceries!!!
Andy came back later to lick the plastic potato bag. That cat..! Dougy came back, too, but just watched while I put things away. (I did it in waves, with breaks in between since I’m a beat up old guy and need to rest sometimes.)
Aw bless you!,I have to do it all at breakneck speed so I can go sit down… Or make lunch!!!
IU keep telling myself I’d do better to go more times and buy less each time rather than eat the cupboards empty, then have a huge amount to carry and stash at once.
hehe….great job Dougy! Some of the stuff the pawents get…well, I wouldn’t give you a furball for….potatoes…what do they do with these….roll them around? Seriously?
Keep up the good work my friend.
Huggles,

Dougy says to tell you he is clueless about those potatoes. Too big to bat around and they don’t taste good. Must hold down papers with them or something. Anyway, Dougy does great work, and will be reward with kitty treats once the groceries are put away. (He gets out of doing that since he can’t reach the cupboards…!)
I never thought of paperweights as a job for potatoes but hey Dougy, you might just have hit the jackpot with that one. You get kitty treats for id’ing stuff….we don’t and that’s not fair! Enjoy your treats my friend and revel in the thought that you’re getting something we don’t.
Shoko
He was more occupied with Andy and chasing him than getting his snack, but he came around whining later, saddened that he didn’t get his snack yet. La-la-la. So I gave it to him!
Cats and bags and boxes…a match made in Heaven for them. Sure do enjoy your posts!
Thanks! Cats make them easy to do, though I admit there are days I don’t know what I’m posting until the boys do something I didn’t expect them to do.
That looked like a monumental task for one feline! I must say it’s nice to see someone still takes pride in a job well done. Standards are so low these days.
I like to think he gets it from me. I was a quality inspector at one point in my work life and worked in quality most of the rest of the time.
Aha! How funny. He definitely gets it from you!
I like to think they have some good qualities, aren’t always naughty kitties!
You better protect that yogurt Doug because those eyes say Mine Mine Mine, and they look determined.
Ha! Ha! I ate it right in front of him and licked the spoon spotless. Yeah! (Poor Dougy! On the other hand, he won’t have an upset stomach since I don’t let the boys eat milk products.)
Ali never had milk products either and will soon be starting hypoallergenic cat food from our vet.
I’m trying out wert food without grain. They don’t seem to have any problem with the filler grain in dry and wet, but it’s probably best not to load them with too much of it.
