The Cat as Efficiency Expert

Once in a while, when things get absolutely frantic here in the home office, The Cat takes charge. She leaps from whatever flat surface she's on, landing between the computer screen and my myopic self, nose approximately four inches from my own, and stares until I get my priorities straight.

Priority #1: Feed The Cat

Priority #2: Scratch the ears of The Cat

Priority #3: Feed The Cat

Priority #4: Pet The Cat

Priority #5: Feed The Cat

Priority #6: Make the laser pointer red dot climb the coat closet door like a moth

Priority #7: Feed The Cat some salmon treats

Only when she is assured that I've got my priorities straight and remember my true place in the Universe am I allowed to go back to the mundane activities which include earning funds to contribute to the project of buying the tuna with which to Feed The Cat.
