Bed Making


Apart from being an IT expert, I also render certain maid service, with great enthusiasm as well.  I am very good at making beds.  Understandably, mamma feels very bad about putting me to work at the computer desk, she always tries to keep quiet and tries to do it all by herself, but I have the keenest sense to detect the activity even from the other side of our house, even if she tries her best to be discreet.  So I am always quickly on the scene to provide my excellent service.  Observe how efficiently and professionally I manage the sheets!


In between my service I also demonstrate some athletic skills, I try to show her the perfect execution and technique of the Evasive Side Kick, with which she has a great difficulty and quite hopeless at when she does her session of Les Mills Body Combat.


However, being a wise feline who knows not to exhaust himself with hard work, sometimes I draw a line and call it enough, another lesson I try to teach to my mamma and frazzled humans in general.


Very wise work ethic, don't you think?

  1. Wise cat indeed to not let your mommy get too tired from working too hard. Its good for her to work but resting is even better according to my cats heheh.

    1. Oh yes kak Siti, I am sure Ranger and Dan would tell you the same thing, being a cat is a very hard work!!! Especially for Ranger, the intense nyot nyot session requires a lot of energy on top of everything else!!!

  3. I think our kitties have a lot to teach us in general... especially about relaxing and not stressing out...

    1. that's why my mamma and I agree on this point, the world should be run by cats, not the silly, narrowminded humans... it would become so much better a place!!!

  4. So love Oliver in his bed making scenes! He has a way of turning a chore into a fun activity, and looks so very precious and talented during the process! Amazing side kick!!!! Great timing with the photo :)
    Yes, if kitties ran the world - no war, no starving, just unconditional love and enough food, shelter for everyone!

    1. It's so funny how he is determined to help me every time I have to change the sheets. but certainly he does make the dull chore a fun activity (if never ending, lol!) I am sure your kids are just as helpful, aren't they? Pity the side kick photo ended up blurred, but at least I seized the moment in time... I think just his lower portion staying in the frame gives the feel of motion actually... ;-) (mamma Licia)

    2. Even slightly blurred, that is a great photo! Great timing and yes, there is a feel of motion ... the slight blur helps :)
      Only Cisco helps me make the bed, and sometimes it's quite dramatic. Hopefully will get to video some day - will need Dan to video, since Cisco and I work as a team :)

    3. I totally agree, very often it's quite a mission impossible to prompt Oliver & hold the camera/camcorder at the same time. I really hope you will get to it... we are so ready for some updated images of Cisco, Moonshadow & Cleo!

  6. Oliver! <3 <3 <3

    You clever and diligent boy, never passing up an opportunity to help your mama and instruct her in the ways of task management. Yes, it is most important to pace yourself with these difficult jobs. And fortunately ... you're already on the bed, so taking an impromptu nap could not be easier!
