Occupational Hazards

Just so you don't think my job as Official Grocery Inspector is all fun and games...

It is a tough job and there are certain hazards associated with it.

Take the other day....

Mom came home with the shopping and left things out for me to check, as usual.

Well, she got some of that barley stuff again.

I really had to dig through the grocery bag to find it.

I wasn't too sure the first time I got into this had to inspect this stuff.

But then maybe this was just an off bag...

(warning: graphic pic-sher ahead!)

er...yak happens...

You have to test the yucky along with the yummy!

Well, I guess it can't always be boxes of cookies.  Even the funnest jobs can have their downsides.

The worstest part is that Wriggley is actually gonna have to eat that barley!

Do you think I should warn him?

I just hope it tastes better cooked!

**********

A cat-safety PSA: please note that despite mom's obvious forgetfulness, I don't have the proper training or security clearance to inspect anything that could be dangerous.  Mom, as Chief Inspector, is quite sure to keep such things out of paw's reach.  Remember, safety first!

Patience...

...I has none.

Mom planted new kitty grass for us and had it setting on the counter to germinate an all.

I couldn't wait for her to put it down for us...

Come on mom!  It's ready all ready!

Can you tell it isn't the first time I've been up here to nom the grass?

Say...as long as I'm up here...

What else can I get into?  Hmmm, there's the dog food...what's that in the sink?

Hah!  That's better.

Thanks mom!

Wordless Wednesday: EKC

Toesday with Minnie

Yello!

I'm just hangin out...practicin my most pathetic looks...

You know, to get attention an all..

I think it's working...

mom's got the flashy box goin...maybe she'll break out a toy?

Yes!

And this time she played with me normal-like.

No unnecessarily whappin me with the wand toy!

Hope you're having a fun Toesday!  

Mo' Cats Day!

In honor of Mo' Cats Day, I give you less cat...

On the left is me in May, and the right is today.

Left May, right today.

Can you tell I'm skinnier?  Since I last mentioned my food woes, mom ran out of my favorite treats, and without them, I wasn't inspired to eat much.

But don't worry, mom finally got the treat situation sorted and is adding some to my stinky (not-so) goodness again so I'm eating better.

(In fact, now I practically have a year's supply of treats...duck treats, anycat?)

I'll be:

in no time!

Happy Mo' Cats Day and happy weekend furiends!

Back to Work!

It's been a while since mom has left any groceries lying about out for me to inspect.

But I was in luck the other day when she needed my help to make sure these cookies for Wriggley were ok...you know, corn and wheat free an all...

Mom was in another room but I found the box on the floor near the kitchen.  I knew mom left them there for me to inspect before she put them away.

I even made this instructional video, in case anycat else is interested in such a job...

What do you think, Smidgen?

mmmm...sweet potato!  Personally I prefer chick-hen...

Reruns

I don't get to post very often so I'm really mad at Blogger for messing up my post yesterday!  There was some kind of glitch when I tried to schedule my post at first, so when I went back to edit and post it again, I had two posts of the same thing!  I deleted one and maybe that messed up the pic-sher.

For those of you who couldn't see my Wordless Wednesday pic-sher, here it is again:

I'm a cat of action, and not one to sit still for the pawparazzi.  When the lady starts wielding the flashy box, I start to move!  Most of the pic-shers the lady has of me, if not of my back,  are along the lines of this:

Mol!

Take that, pawparazzi!
