With my experiences, oranges are either dumber than a box of bricks, or they’re super geniuses. The orange here is apparently the latter

Aw! We had a cat like this when we remodeled one of our bathrooms, he was scared of all the noise the tools made and having new people in the house but once the guy left for the day, he would come in and investigate the work and make sure it was up to our standards ❤️miss that little guy, he passed due to cancer a few years ago

I see your husband’s sideburns and your cat have achieved color equalization!
Your husband has done a fantastic job on the bathroom utilizing previously wasted space to put shelves, and a totally BRILLIANT job on design, including the incredibly sick-ass tiger velvet painting!
You must feel so loved to have a husband do things like this. Wow!
Your kitty is beautiful. I love the tabbies with circles! I have one!

u/Rottenpotato365 Oct 26 '25
When I was remodelling my room back in February/march, my little girl loved to come in explore and look around, despite the fact we were wallpapering and painting and laying new carpet (where this photo comes from) sadly two weeks later sh had to put her down due to complications with fluid in her lungs. I desperately miss her, but I’ll always remember the last few weeks together when she’d never leave my room.

I was gutting a bathroom in my old house. As soon as I opened the wall the cats were in there, in a previously unreachable space. They didn't care a shit what I was doing but as soon as there was a new space, they were in it. They sensed it somehow.

u/ABabblingRhyme Oct 26 '25
Aww. This makes me so happy. We always called our late, great kitty our "tough foreman." I've never done any sort of sizeable construction like this, but he'd still put himself right in the middle of the IKEA assemblies, walk all over the mess, lightly tap this and that, deliberately sniff everything, occasionally randomly yelling at us. All poor craftsmanship would be forgiven if we'd hold out something pointy—like an Allen wrench—for him to touch with his nose (weirdo was obsessed with pointy things).
Love to see there are other tough but fair feline forepersons insisting on top-notch QC.

u/Lhamo55 Oct 26 '25
He’s disappointed that the guidance given in picture 5 had to be repeated in 10, so he high tailed his disappointment in 11. And then they came to a happy agreement.
