Learning to Supervise

Even though I am no longer a kitten, I still have a lot to learn! Sparkle left a lot of notes about “supervising,” and I’m embarrassed to admit I often fall asleep on the job! Instead of keeping an eye on my human, I’ll sleep on the chair behind her, or somewhere nearby. According to Sparkle’s notes, I should be keeping an eye on her! So right now I have the perfect opportunity to redeem myself. She has finally finshed getting all the materials together for the rewards from the Pubslush campaign for Rescued, and she needs to send them all out. The bookmarks were the last thing to get done, and they had to wait because my human had to create the eBook versions herself (do not ask her why unless you want to hear her griping for half an hour!). But finally everything is here in the living room.

A couple of the rewards involved sending off five copies of the book, so I had to see if the boxes were the right ones for the job, or if they would be better used by us kitties.

And apparently part of supervising involves posing, and it’s important to do it right! For example, here I am doing it wrong because I am drawing attention away from the book and bookmarks, and making them look tiny. Sparkle said that Binga makes this mistake all the time, which is why she will never be a professional.

Speaking of which…

Sparkle did not say anything about this in her notes, but I decided to let Binga and Boodie take over for a little while — after all, they are rescued cat themselves, so it is only fitting. They can offer a perspective I can’t. Besides, my human already put the treats away.
