NOT My Morning Routine

October 20, 2022 By: Summer Samba15 Comments

This is not Summer's morning routine. But she is in her bathrobe on the bathroom counter to learn a new trick.

I am not a morning kitty! Can you tell? In fact, my human is often out of bed before I am.

But she thought it would be fun to do some photos of me as if I did have a morning routine. I mean, other than going to the dining room and asking for breakfast. Of course I had to wear my bathrobe

An important morning routine is teeth brushing! Although I usually get mine done in the evening.

Now came the fun part — learning a new trick! My human likes to give me something new to learn off the cuff to see how fast I can catch on. The first step was to show me water coming out of the faucet. She wanted to make sure I was comfortable with the water running before going to the next step.

The next step was to teach me to touch the faucet handle as if I was turning on the water. I know some cats actually do turn it on, but it doesn’t come naturally to me. My human had to bring out my bell for touching practice before I understood I was supposed to touch the handle.

Next my human had me touching the handle while the faucet was turned on without getting distracted by the running water! That was a snap! I was putting my paw on that handle like the pro I am. Now I’m ready for a bathroom commercial. If I ever get one.

The photos of me looking through the bathroom cabinet didn’t come out as well. No, I didn’t knock anything over. They just were awkward.

In all, we were working in the bathroom for maybe half an hour, and I thought it was lots of fun!

    You are always cute but I think your robe is just darling. And yes, exploring the shave cream really shows off the belt and pockets together–the whole picture!

    Summer, this post is about my fave of them all for awhile. And the bathroom cabinet and you going through it is THE picture!

    Oh Summer, the robe, I’m dying. You look adorable. The bathroom morning routine is hilarious. I’m not a morning person either

    Wonderful bathrobe modeling, and we also like the cabinet scene. What did you have in your pocket? Also hoping you get a commercial to show off your “tap” skills!

    That first photo looks like I feel in the morning too! You’re just much, much, much more adorable. What’s hiding in your pocket?

    Summer…I have to say I LOVED LOVED you in the bathrobe which was tied just exactly right and you looked like two million dollars. I don’t think you looked awkward at ALL at the cabinet in the bathroom. You looked elegant and purposeful. I am sincere.

    Like Ernie, I am more interested in breakfast in the morning.
    However, Mum’s first stop is the bathroom so I sometimes follow her in there.
    I would love to see you in a commercial Summer!!!!!! You would be awesome!
    Purrs, Julie

    That was funny….you said you were imitating your human in the
    first picture and you had that sour look. I know I look like that too
    first thing. I hope you get to do a bathroom commercial. You would
    be good!

    That is a cute idea, and I thought you looked good staking out the cabinet contents.
