The bipeds decided to put up the Christmas decorations at the weekend. Pippin found himself a comfortable spot for a nap as soon as he saw the bipeds getting boxes out. I checked all the boxes to make sure that there was nothing dangerous lurking in them and then I also took a nap.
Mulberry decided that he needed to supervise everything the bipeds did. He often chats and gives a running commentary about what’s going on, but he was so sure that they couldn’t manage without him that he didn’t even take a nap. He helped them choose the purrfect spot for the Christmas tree.
That’s the purrfect spot!
The bipeds went through their usual routine of plugging in the Christmas lights and replacing bulbs that weren’t working. They always do this, it takes them a while to remember that they should put the lights on the tree! This year they did this before they’d even put the tree in the stand, so Mulberry was reminding them to get the tree out of its box.
Pippin told Mulberry not to worry – the bipeds always figure it out in the end. The male biped complained that Mulberry was getting underfoot. But Mulberry didn’t care, he just kept on giving instructions.
When the male biped took the tree out of the box and went to put it in the stand, Mulberry was there making sure he got it right. He was telling the biped which way round it went and to be careful not to drop it.
Be careful with the tree!
While the bipeds were walking back and forth putting the decorations on the tree, Mulberry was walking between their feet. He kept up a non-stop commentary, telling them where the next bauble should go.
There’s a gap to the left!
The male biped said that Mulberry was a menace and kept almost tripping him up. The female biped was draping a string of silver beads on the tree and said that at least Mulberry wasn’t trying to play with the decorations this year. What timing! Mulberry reached up and grabbed the end of the beads and pulled them from her.
The male biped raised one eyebrow and said, “You were saying?”
They both laughed and he scooped Mulberry up into his arms and gave him a cuddle. Everything was finished a few moments later and the bipeds sat down and gave us all a cuddle and some treats, before putting the empty boxes away.
Turn out the light! I’m sleepy
Mulberry is exhausted, but he says he’s very pleased with the Christmas tree that he decorated!
See you next Wednesday!
I imagine Mulberry did an excellent job!
He was certainly very vocal! He is very pleased with himself.
And so he should be. We bet he did a wonderful job. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
He’s convinced he did well – and that’s what matters! Have a fun day, Molly!
Mulberry looks plum pooped now Clowie..hard work to be a snoopervisor..hugs and loves Fozziemum xxx
He’s still catching up on his naps!
Hahaah I be he is..after all kitties do sleep 25 hours out of 24 😉 hugs Fozziemum xx
Yes, it’s true! They have a lot of napping to fit in a day!
Hahahaah that they do sweetie 🙂 xxx
How nice of Mulberry to be so helpful with the decorating! But I think you and Pippin had the right idea in taking naps during the process. Sometimes bipeds can get a bit stressed with it. 🙂
Mulberry was very helpful! Bipeds can get stressed by the strangest things! It’s always good to take a nap when the opportunity presents itself.
How would your bipeds ever have gotten the job done without Mulberry? Bipeds need critters underfoot. It helps them focus. Otherwise they’re all over the place, distracted. Well done, M.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Mulberry is sure they wouldn’t have got the job done without his help! Bipeds need focus.
Mulberry I know how exhausting it is working with bipeds but I want to say it appears your snoopervising resulted in a beautiful Christmas tree!
Hugs, Sammy
Mulberry says he knew you’d appreciate and understand his efforts, Sammy.
those cats can be annoying I am always told to go lay down woof it is not fair
Cats always pretend they don’t understand when they’re told to do something they don’t want to – and it usually works!
Maybe Mulberry should be an interior designer! What art 😉
Have a great day

You could be right. He says that the pens he ‘borrows’ from the bipeds are arranged nicely – it looks like a random collection under the sofa to me!
BOL! My kitties do the same thing, every single time there is an empty box even for a second, they jump right in!!!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
They can’t resist boxes!
We weren’t putting up any holiday decor but now Mom’s knee replacement will likely be postponed due to a couple of stupid insect bites she got in Mexico earlier this week, unfortunately they are on the inside of the knee to be replaced. Total bummer…paws crossed the doc says ok to go today when she talks with him
I’ll be keeping my paws crossed that it goes ahead. Give your mom my best wishes for a quick recovery.
Mulberry wiped out purrrrrrrrrring holiday songs. Such a cute last photo. He must endlessly entertain ya’ll. Happy Holidays to you Clowie and your grrrrrrreat bipeds. Love from all your friends our end.
He does keep us entertained, he’s very sweet. I hope all of you have a great time over the holidays!
Pets make excellent managers.
Yes, bipeds couldn’t cope without us keeping an eye on them.
Will the kitty climb the tree? That is really the question. Mine used to.
He never has, but he does occasionally play with the ornaments on the lower branches – the bipeds are careful what they put there.
Mulberry worked incredibly hard! lol I’m not surprised he was exhausted! No doubt he did a wonderful job and was a great help to your bipeds 😉 …. and I love that last photo of sleepy Mulberry!
He did work hard, he says the bipeds would never have got it right without his instructions.
Awww Mulberry I am pretty sure that the bipeds could not have gotten the tree up without all your help. I am glad you got a cuddle for all your supervisory skills.. somehow I am not surprised about the cuddles.. 🙂 Nice to see you Mulberry.. a nap well deserved!
Mulberry is sure they’d never have managed without him, but the cuddle did make it all worthwhile.
Mulberry, what a relief there was someone around to keep the bipeds in order. Glad you has sustenance after such a heavy workload and a string of beads 😀
He says he’s still catching up on naps, but he’s very pleased with the results of his work.
Mulberry reminds me of my husband when we’re decorating the tree. Some critters are just born supervisors.
I presume Mulberry didn’t oversee the work from on top of the tree?
No, Mulberry doesn’t climb the tree, but he does get tempted by some of the lower decorations! The bipeds always make sure the lower ones are the unbreakable type.
That is a good job very well done, Mulberry!
Yes, he’s earned some extra napping time.
great job kitties. looks good
Thank you, the cats are still napping!
Mulberry did a fantastic job of snoopervising! Love the photos 🙂 Hope you all have a fantastic holiday Clowie!

He certainly tried hard! Thank you, I hope you have a lovely time over the holidays!
He’s very good at snoopervising! He likes to know what’s going on, unless it’s scary – and then he hides!
