Sneaky Indoor Supervisor?

 

Bree has always been a bit more nervous about how the world is going change from moment to moment than the other supervisor cats around the farm.  She is also a bit of a "princess," letting the pea take most of her attention even when there is plenty of comfortable mattress she could concentrate on.  Bree has always been an indoor supervisor, only visiting the outdoors if it for a trip to the "place that must not be named."  (that would be the vet for the uninitiated)

Bree's sister, Hobnob, left us earlier this year and that departure has certainly been a mixed blessing for our remaining indoor supervisor.  Bree certainly misses her sister simply because they had been together their whole lives.  However, the sisterly relationship was never one that Tammy and I would call loving.  So, in some ways, Bree has benefited from Hob's departure.

Still, Bree is left as the only remaining feline at the Genuine Faux Farm bearing the title "Indoor Supervisor" and the pressure can sometimes be telling.  For example, this past weekend had a fair amount of upheaval as the humans did some deeper cleaning and moving in the farm house.  It's the kind of cleaning that happens for many reasons.  If you consider that during each of the past two years the humans have taken turns at major surgeries and recoveries that might be enough to get you to understand that many things have probably been "on hold" for a while.

Places and things in the house that have been let be for the past year or two were suddenly being moved, inspected, and even taken away.  It's enough to make any self-respecting indoor supervisor have a great need for a long, uninterrupted nap later in the day on Sunday.

But, maybe I underestimate Bree?  Perhaps she feels she has done a fine job of supervising our efforts this past weekend.  Is that I smile I see on that kitty face in the picture above?  Well, if it is, I am sure she won't give me the satisfaction of confirming or denying.  Yet, I do take note that places she prefers for catnaps were cleaned off and any obstructions were removed.

Is it possible that we've been played?  I am guessing we'll never know for certain.
