Supervisor Seat



Kitchen counter is a restricted area.


Daddy's boy Goro steps off the counter
when his Dad tells him to.


I, a typical cat's servant, have
difficulty in fur-child discipline department.


So this stool has been a big help.
We call it Goro's "supervisor seat."


Goro can watch kitchen activity from the stool.


This satisfies his curiosity and keeps him 
from jumping on the counter.


Goro also gets snack on the stool.


So Goro is a happy boy.
And a good boy on his supervisor seat.



Well, not always.

  1. You get a stool in the kitchen? Wow, that's pretty much the best seat in the house! (Not counting the catio.)

    You're amazingly helpful and hard-working, Goro. Snoopervising takes a lot of energy!

  2. Goro, you are amazing! Your self-restraint that is...we, on the other paw, are terrible, defiant kitties, resting our hotcrossbums on the counters ALL the time.

  7. No, you're not "on" the counter. The kitchen is a good place to do your snoopervising.

  8. Wow, that's such a good idea! We think we need stools in the kitchen. But we still think we'd get on the counter too.

  14. Dearest Tamago-san,
    Goro-chan looks so satisfied with his supervisor seat♡♡♡ How lucky he is to have such a comfortable and close to you two seat.
    Oh you gave me smile "have difficulty in fur-child discipline department". You sure must be a sweet warmhearted young lady♬♬♬

    ここ2,3日の雨で朝晩とても涼しくなりました(^_^)v  ところで,昨日は埼玉で竜巻の被害; 最近まで竜巻はアメリで起こる物だと思ってました。。。

    Wishing you are having comfortable weather and wonderful new week.

    Lots of Love and hugs from Japan to my Japanese friend in America, xoxo Miyako*

  15. P.s.: why grey cats have that wide-eyed look? Benta is known for the same stairing eyes!

  16. Dearest Tamago,
    Lovely photos and especially about the supervisor stool!
    We did teach them that the counter is restricted but Sacha, the one that got killed in June, always managed to jump on our Miele ceramic cook top. It starts beeping when something is on top... She did reset the time programming several times and it took us quite some time to undo! But they are very cunning and it is very hard to catch them in the act!
    LOVE the Whoo hoo photo. Any box intrigues them.
    Hugs to you,
    Mariette

  25. Haha. Yes, you are not technically on the counter, Goro. You are so very clever. :)

    Don't feel bad, Tamago-san. Moosey takes direction ("no no") better from me than the mom, too.

  29. I love this idea of a snoopervisor stool but not close to the stove if grease splatters. Purrs from our boys to yours.

  32. What makes the Humans think they should tell the kitties where the kitties are and are not allowed to be? Huh? Tell me that! I think the Kitties should be the ones to decide where the Kitties are allowed to be, which of course is anywhere they want to be.

  33. Hahaha! Oh you are too funny Goro!!
    Banjo does not seem to pay attention to the 'no warm cat bums on the counter' rule. LOL!!
    Happy Sunday kitties!

    So cool

  35. I get up on the counter all the time. But I would still enjoy having a Supervisor Seat!

  36. People say cats are not trainable. That isn't true. Goro knows "down" (he complains while he is complying), "up", "come", "stay" (he has his limits with this one.), he even plays his own take on fetch. (human throws toy, goro chases toy, goro waits for human to pick up toy and throw again.)

  37. You're so good with your cats Tamago. Reading your story, I feel a lucky cat too living in your house. Wish I can be a cat!With no worry... a nice dream! :-)
