She Wanted to Do It Herself – No Way!

somali cat and tortoiseshell cat with unassembled media cabinet - their human is not going to be able to do it herself

My human needed to get a new media cabinet, and she found one she liked on Overstock. The only problem was that it needed to be assembled. Well, she did not think it was a problem — she figured she could do it herself, no problem! Can you believe that? Assemble a media cabinet without help? We cats couldn’t let that happen.

I helped every step of the way, beginning with removing all the different pieces from the box.

And I made sure she put all the different pieces together the way they needed to go.

I also made sure the instructions were always nearby, so she could double check her work every step of the way.

It was important that the doors went on the correct sides! I even looked for myself.

With my help (and occasionally Binga’s), my human was able to assemble the media cabinet! Do you think she could have done this without our help? Of course not.

Of course, I gave her a high five for a job well done.

    KItties are always willing to help. Razzle -Dazzle is being food inspector today. I am on the down low cause I know tonight there are going to be too many people here! The cat tree and our toys have all been moved from the den so it’s even more fun to check things out.

    YAY for you helping! I helped my Dad and Mom put together my cat tree, a media cabinet AND some barstools. It’s fun to be a snoopervisor during these projects isn’t it Summer? Where would they be without us!

    Hugs, Teddy

    I am very impressed with your human! The words “assembly required” instill fear in my heart. But I bet if I had a helper like you, I could actually put things together, too. Sadly, Allegra and Ruby have not been very helpful in that regard.

    Grr-eat job at supervising your momma’s work, Summer. Last year Dad hung shelves on the wall and I made sure he measured more than once and hung them at the right heights. What would our humans do without us, right? Tee hee hee.
