Sophie is the helpingest cat! Sunday evening Arlin decided to wash the futon cover from the living room futon sofa. As soon as we started to take the cover off, she jumped onto the futon and lay down. Every time we picked her up and put her on the floor, she jumped back. We had to double-up the futon to pry off the cover, while watching to make sure we weren’t suffocating Sophie in the folds. Then, when it came time to put the clean cover back on, she insisted on helping again, by crawling under the cover and attacking Arlin while he tried to zip it up.
Meanwhile, we had to empty the dictionary stand in order to move it, though we’re not sure where it will go yet. It’s now in the middle of the living room, and both cats have decided its shelves are a great place to perch.
