Is your cat a supervisor?

Nearly all of my cats are shy of strangers and will run and hide when anyone comes to the door. And then there's Kacey.

Today the moving company representative showed up to inventory my stuff and give me an estimate for the move to Illinois. He brought in a bag that was about the size of a small airline carry-on and put the bag on a chair. Kacey promptly attempted to crawl into the bag. :rolleyes: I ended up negotiating the moving contract with a squirming cat in my arms.

If anyone is here to work on anything, Kacey has to participate. Plumbers, cable installers--you name it, he's got to check things out. I guess I should be grateful that he doesn't charge hourly rates! :D

Does anyone else have a cat who insists on supervising household events?

Remus MUST know what is going on at all times...especially with guests. If he isn't in your face, he's making sure your things pass inspection :D

I have a couple of cats that like to supervise. Oliver and Connor will come out and supervise almost anyone. Because they are deaf they will "work" with the contractors, etc. I have others that will only come out to supervise if there isn't alot of noise going on.

Oh yes, Sparkle has to supervise everyone: me, Dad, anyone who comes in to do work here. Tool boxes require close investigation. Her nose would get eletrocuted if I didn't get her. Thank goodness for bedrooms with doors, he he.

Our Dylan sounds just like Kacey. He never hides from anyone - usually right at the door if someone rings. Like Kacey, he supervises repairmen, visitors. Etc. It's pretty funny. He doesn't go demanding attention or nosing around, he is just THERE, calmly overseeing whatever is going on :D

Bubba and RB Diva always had to know what was going on, and exact a scritch tax from anyone trying to do work around the house!

We call Pepper "The Inspector" because she has to get her nose in everything ANYONE is doing.

This has resulted in a red nose -- when she stuck her nose in some acrylic paint and curled whiskers -- when she inspected the lighting of a candle. :eek: Bobcat can't do anything without her involvement. :p http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...8/f18222ec.jpg
He can't even make a phone call with out her listening in! :D

Tiger IS the household inspector -especially anything mechanical that CatDad is doing:

stripping the cover off of a wrecked glider (note the little paws pushing from inside the tail of the glider)

checking the hole size for an access hatch to the wing:

inspecting CatDad's work on the cockpit ("move your hand Dad!")

and finally while CatDad cleans up...Tiger has to supervise!

:) There is a couple of the girls that are for sure supervisors.. The rest hide under the bed if the doorbell rings.. Then they will peck around the doorway.. Now I just love this picture.. Priceless

My RB-Sydney loved to check my shopping bags too

Edwina supervises the inside work...she needs to check out any cases or tools brought into the house...

Eddie...he is an "outside" inspector....

He was keeping an eye on a construction project we had going on...but of course...he gets tired...

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I love the photos (especially Tiger checking out the cleanup procedure)! :D I'm sure that the moving company person would have thought I was completely loony if I had started taking pictures while Kacey was burrowing into his bag--hence no documentation of that event.

Our grey tabby, Terra, is our feline supervisor. She greets every guest, escorts them everywhere in the house they'd like to go, and thoroughly inspects their possessions for harmful items.

She's so helpful, we have to borrow a dog crate from family to keep her out of harm's way when we show our house to potential buyers. We don't want any offers including her!

Janice the Food Delivery Lady, My Aunt Joan and the Ladies from the Animal Welfare Association have spoiled Joseph as he thinks that every visitor is going to bring him
TREATS!
I was funny when my financial advisor a courtly older Gentleman was here, and asked Why Is that Cat staring at me?
He was here once a while back and Mr Scrappy jumped into his briefcase.
I guess he did not want a rerun of that!
I think Janice will be bearing treats Today!
She says hes the only Pet she sees thats not interested in the entrees!!!

My supervisor is Sky.:) He's more like a dog than a cat and he thinks that any one who comes over is here to see him.:) Storm is the shoe inspector and must smell everyones shoes. If they take them off he'll usually sit on them and claim them as his own.:)

Yup, Allen is our little supervisor with Pouncer as his backup (depending on the situation..... then Harry steps in instead)

Nobody ever sees the girls. Flutter is ghost cat and unless you're REALLY lucky, a visitor won't meet Flutter.

What a fun thread! I am loving all of the pictures. :D My two boys love to supervise family members only, especially when I am folding clothes or wrapping a present. When a guest comes they are *outta here!* Trevor will occasionally return after he builds up his nerve and might rub on the legs of the visitors (embarrassing when they are wearing black slacks) but Andy will remain hidden. People have to take my word for it that he exists.

I forgot all supervision tasks done by Snoopy!!

RB Butterscotch always had to be right there watching the action. We would put him in the exlarge carrier (more roomy) and he would sit for hours watching our bathroom remodel.

Eleanor has to supervise my online card playing (play money). She loves to help me play Omaha Hi/Lo, puts her paws on tops of my hands that are controlling the mouse.

Cindy has to supervise liter box cleaning and sewing projects.

The rest of the gang supervise themselves LOL

Mine only supervise the proper cooking methods of our dinner, lol. I always have Toby and Churchy on the counter as close as they can get to the stove without feeling the heat and then Dixie will be on the table watching from over there and meowing at me about every 10 seconds.

She's the order barker...the other two are her silent partners.
