TSA Tuesday

October 18, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat28 Comments

The inspection is worse when he comes back - all the clothes are dirty and stinky!

My human’s boyfriend has been out of town since last Thursday and he is coming home today. He travels a lot playing shows, and every time he starts packing, it creates a lot of work for us cats. After all, we need to make sure that everything is in order in case TSA has to open up his suitcase. Plus, it’s important for him to have enough socks. If you look behind me, you will see that he has passed sock inspection for this trip.

I think maybe he should leave these behind. I would like to inspect them even further.

The suitcase handle has ribbons on it so he can easily find it at the baggage claim. Checking out the ribbons and making sure they taste right is my special job.

Because she has mostly black fur, she needs to work overtime to make sure it shows up!

But just because he has been gone, don’t think we have been taking it easy. We have all been trading off shifts to make sure his new chair has enough cat hair on it.

P.S. The commenthon tally was $35! My human is going to round it up to $50.

    W00t! We LIKES the TSA idea! We been taking turns sitting on top of Mommy’s luggage (she tends to pack a few days early) cuz those airports don’t like unattended luggage yanno. But we never thought to inspect what’s INSIDE the bag – BRILLIANT!!!

    Your human’s boyfriend is very lucky to have you kitties to pre-inspect his luggage and furrify his chair. Maybe you should drop a toy mousie in his suitcase in case he gets bored while he’s away. We’re sure he will thank you later.

    Socks! Mommy does not like socks. When she goes away we has to make sure there are enough! And the fur on the chair – we do that too!

    You did such a great job inspecting his suiitcase, but is it really because you want to make sure there’s enough room for the gifts for you, Binga, and Boodie when he comes home?

    KUDOS for raising $35 and rounding it off to $50 on Sunday’s commenthon!!!

    He must sail through the TSA inspections since you’ve already pre-inspected it so well! Just hope on the way home the TSA doesn’t take any presents out that are supposed to be for you! He does bring home lots of presents doesn’t he?

    Looks like you were doing a good job of compressing the packing so the suitcase will close. I hope he brings you a nice prezzie home to thank you for all your care and hard work.

    We are so pleased there are enough socks with furs on for your human’s boyfriend – we would hate it if he had to go “sockless”!!

    That is such a important job. You have to make sure there are enough socks and also underwear. And do not forget the one randomly furinated item that has to be in there so they always have you with them. Our humans travel at least once a year and it is hard work. We often get so tired we nap during inspection
