Good Help is Hard to Find

Ashton: Will you please clean this window? Cat TV looks like it has static. Good help is so hard to find.

brown tabby cat looks out dirty window

Since she only sees out of one eye, Ashton often sits with half of her face obscured behind something like the window pane in the photo above. It’s one of her cute quirks.

The window pane Ashton is looking out in the photo almost never sees direct sunlight, but it gets daily rain and all day Florida humidity, so it gets dirty fast. Ashton obviously disapproves, and it has since been cleaned up for her viewing convenience. After all, the cats are the ones in charge around here.

    My human is terrible about doing the windows! She keeps saying she is a Mac person and laughing! I don’t think it’s funny.

    I’m sure your person left the windows dirty so that she could take that good photograph, right?

    she is such a precious girl. It’s amazing how they instinctively adjust on their own.

    You’re right to tell your human about neglected house chores, Ashton, and we’re glad to hear that she’s well trained and that you can enjoy the view through the window again. Purrs

    Nellie, now that she is blind in one eye, has started to sit like that when looking out the window too!

    I’m glad your staff finally cleaned your window. We have to rely on the building to clean our’s outside. It gets done every 5 years or so. Last time it was done, they never warned anyone so the peeps didn’t have the screens out. Sigh.

    All our windows look like that, but the gunk is usually on the inside from us putting our noses all over the windows. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
