He thinks he's helping

Such a loudmouth! Casper is notorious for "helping" - especially when we're sorting, folding & putting away laundry. This week was no exception. He quickly claimed a box reserved for clothes donations on the bed as his perch and announced to the world this was his domain, and his alone.I suppose the clothes might have been folded and put away faster if I'd actually lent a hand, but taking photos of the cat's antics was much too fun to allow me to focus on much else. At least that's what I told Jamie. And while he didn't argue, I'm not exactly sure he bought it hook, line and sinker. Secretly, however, I think he was just as amused by Casper as me and so really didn't mind all the photo-taking.

Seeing Jamie busy folding clothes a few inches away, intent on the perfect fold and paying him no attention at all, Casper jumped out of the box and sauntered over to "help," which basically means he decided he needed more attention.

The problem was, Casper didn't go back to the box and stay out of the way. Nope. He parked in the center of all the activity. And right in the way too. As if he was in jeopardy of missing out on all the fun!

Jamie scooted him out of the way and Casper eventually reclaimed his box. Not content to merely sit inside, he sprawled across the bottom and began rolling around to find just the right position.

Clearly not receiving enough attention from all this, he sat up to survey the folding activity again.

An impressive backflop with an equally plaintive meow into the bottom of the box announced he was tired from all the effort required in maintaining a vertical position.

Eventually Casper got comfortable again and stayed on his back in the box until the last of the clothes were put away.
