You will have to excuse the poor quality of today’s photos. They were taken inside, after dark, and with my human’s iPhone. And she only took them when she wasn’t using the iPhone as a flashlight. What happened was, after the concrete table broke, my human and her helper came inside and decided to install the new garbage disposal. The disposal had been sitting around for a few months before this, so it was about time.
I don’t know if you know anything about garbage disposals, but the old one here is really old! And it’s been broken for a few years. My human has just been living without one. The person who helped her said it probably not going to be that big a deal to switch it out for the new one. Of course, he was wrong. That’s the way it always is with old houses.
I’m sure you’ll be glad to know we followed proper cat supervisor protocol for the several hours it took to get the job done. Which means there was always one cat in the kitchen the whole time the humans were working. The couple of times I needed to take a litter box or nap break, Boodie filled in for me.
Since this task dragged on longer than anyone expected (and involved some invisible guy name MacGyver who showed up several times), I got a little bored towards the end. While I was looking for something to occupy myself, I discovered that the box the garbage disposal came in was the perfect fit for me!
I thought maybe the humans needed a play break… but they didn’t join in. At least the job got done.

Good lord, how do people without cats ever get home repairs done? Feline assistance is essential!
I think I remember this summer. It looked like great fun for you but not the humans
Summer, you look very cute in that box….and surely you were very helpful.
What a great helper you are!!!
Pic 4! MOL! <3
Ha! It’s good they provided you the box so you had a proper seat to supervise from!
Wow, that became quite a formidable task. Good thing you and Boodie were there to snoopervise so that it all was done correctly!
We know all about that old house stuff too…ours is from 1907…and anything you try to fix is NEVER simple as it should be.
Oh boy, our humans know all about old houses (ours is from 1912) and projects, Never easy! Good job snoopervising. Hope you got to keep your box. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer
It’s a good thing you’re such a good supervisor. We’re happy to hear Boodie came out to help.
My Mom and Dad don’t have a garbage disposal – septic system here and they said NO disposal SOOOOOO that’s that. I’m glad your Human now has a brand new one – it’s a VERY handy thing to have and just think——you helped with installation!
Hugs, Teddy
My home repair projects NEVER go as planned.
Wow ! Boodie overcame her shyness to make sure the snoopervision protocol was followed ! Very impressive dedication by both of you !
Any time something isn’t supposed to be a big deal, rest assured it WILL BE!

I never heard of a garbage disposal. Our’s get disposed in a room down the hall and down a chute. Great job snoovervising.
Your job (s) are never done Summer!
Good job snoopervising, Summer ! We never heard of garbage disposals in Switzerland, it looks like most of us live without one. Purrs
Every job needs a least one kitty supervisor.

Garbage disposals are pretty rare in France, so most of us live without one. It certainly sounds like it was a big deal to get yours going! Brilliant supervising!
Purrs,
Tama and Genji
Well done!
Gosh, my mom said she has never had a dish washer except the ones attached to her wrists, or a garbage disposal…again…except for the one attached to her wrists. She almost got one in 2006 when the kitchen was gutted for a remodel with new everything.But she chose to use that space for a cabinet instead which she needed more. She regrets that Christmas and Thanksgiving.
Good job Summer, taking care of that nice box.
That was sweet of Boodie to cover for you while you were on break. That box does look perfect for you.
Excellent supervision work, both of you. I’m surprised that Boodie took a turn, but that’s awesome. And yeah, old houses… new parts don’t always play nice with the old.
I don’t think they could have done it without you sweet Summer!
Good snoopervising there Summer! How on earth did your human survive without a garbage disposal, it boggles the mind.
Your eyes look kind of wild – like maybe a chase would
be a good idea. The work would probably never get done
if you weren’t there for the supervision. Work always
goes better with a cat supervisor around.
We’re glad it got installed without major problems. Most likely it was due to your help.
Unfortunately when it comes to replacing household stuff it’s never as easy as the humans think. It’s always so funny to watch our dad perform fixer uppers, MOL. Thankfully we too can always count on a new box of some kind. Great supurrvision Summer. Someone had to stand guard, MOL. Purrs
Superb supervision, Summer
Summer, are you sure that your human didn’t get a new disposal just so you could look cute in the box?
These projects always need cats to supervise the humans. Good job, Summer!
I’m glad the kitty was able to help, probably made the job a whole lot better just knowing she was there.
What a great snoopervisor you were, Summer.
Maybe the installation would have gone a bit better if the man took a moment to play with you Summer.
Sometimes people are too serious 😉

Nothing is as straightforward as it should be, but at least the new unit is installed. It would probably have taken much longer if you and Boodie hadn’t supervised.
It’s always nice to get new stuff that works!
