Though this appears to be two separate photos, Astrid is staring at me while sitting behind the screen of my laptop.
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post entitled, Tabby/Tortie Tuesday with MacKenzie and Astrid. In it, I talked about how Astrid has become my little shadow and showed a photo of her sitting in my lap as I worked on the blog.
As she rarely leaves my side, she has been entrusted by her meowmates to ensure I type exactly what they have dictated for each comment. In spite of the fact that cats are not known for their work ethic as well as the fact that she does nap frequently, she is a rigid taskmaster. If I deviate from the plan, I get laser, zombie eyes or she takes matters into her own paws. That usually proves to be disastrous as her spelling is atrocious and her paws have a tendency to hit several keys at once (as evidenced in the photo below).
She also is easily distracted and so sometimes finds it hard to stick to the task at paw. Or she becomes bored with the entire endeavor and camps out on the keyboard.
Being a good Mom I do, however, encourage her literary interests and pawticipation in the blogging process, even if she does occasionally impede our progress or necessitate corrections.
Besides, I like the companionship!
Hey Astrid!
Good job. I like to keep a firm paw on the Dad. Rumpy likes to lay on the keys as they… well we never really figured that out

Kitty hugs, Sammy
Hi Kitties, So Astrid, you still hanging out there? What are the rest of the crew doing?? Getting themselves into their own variety of trouble, I presume.
It’s always nice to have someone to keep you on track, isn’t it? Great job snoopervising, Astrid!
the kitties before me always helped Mom do her keyboard work…that was for her business…she didn’t blog until she met me…
what a mewovelous assistant Astrid is. Cody and I share our “office” so I know how helpful they can be!
We have several editors at our house and it can be a challenge! Especially with my touch screen computer…. sometimes I just don’t know if I am coming or going when I am blogging!! Purrs to you all from the Zee and Zoey Gang!
Astrid is doing a great snoopervising job. She simply wants to stay on top of everything. A making of a good boss.
Ha ha ha! We’s twins! (Well, almost.) I am so relieved the stoopy Human got her boring “work” projects done and is back to serving the needs of her most important work project of all: Yours truly, of course. Good to see you all again XOXOXO
Heh heh so you’re blaming her cos your names were in the wrong order the other day? Didn’t think so. We’re creatures of habits although we don’t wear habits.
It looks like Astrid wants to do some blog posts herself! 🙂
Astrid, we can see that you are a HUGE help to your Mama! Keep up the good job! 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
She’s a good editor. And a beauty too! (like all torties are.) Purrs…
Great job, gorgeous Astrid!…Happy weekend, sweeties…xoxo…Calle, Halle, Sukki, Mommy Cat, Daddy Cat
Astrid is doing a fine job of snoopervising.
Wonderful pictures! torties seem to have a particular type of personality… Astrid looks like my own Shadow-of-the Moon tortie. If I do not pay attention when she chooses to be near me she grabs and pulls on my sleeve, just like child would do, until I pet her and talk to her…
It’s impawtant to supervise! What would they do without us! Wooooowoooooo!
Astrid types just like Waffles!
The *full-body* typing technique : )

Tortie snoopervisers are excellent! I would follow all her direction without question. Cookie led me in the right direction for nearly 20 years, and pawed over the position to the able house panther Mimi after extensive training. Mimi is truly a taskmaster, but I could get nothing done without her.
Hi I just came over to see you from Austain’s blog!! I have 3 cats but I have one that is just like your Astrid. Mine is Circle and she is ALWAYS with me too!!!
Astrid you are a bery gud snoopervisor. Our Momma laffed at the pickshure of you laying on the puter. Love Cali, Andy, Tater and Shelly
Obviously, Astrid has not been allowed to validate this post…

Astrid we admire how well you remain focused to your task and do such a good job snoopervising!!!
♥xoxoxo♥
I think you two make a mighty fine team!
You and me both, Astrid! The human needs constant supervision otherwise. well, who knows what chaos will ensue?
Beautiful girl! She should be in charge of something!
Astrid, you are THE one large and in charge! Get that mom doing things your way.
Good job, Astrid! We knew you were the brains behind the operation the whole time.
I’m always watching (and interrupting) my mum as she works at her computer 🙂
Great snoopaw-vision there. How would mum manage without you? Have a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly
Hahaha thats the same with Speedy
I love the way cats take over…
I think Astrid is doing an AWESOME job!
Great snoopervision Astrid ! Your mom can thank you for helping her so much. Purrs
Love the purple collar, Astrid. You are just so in style.
