get him started with collecting yarn balls, maybe?

If I don’t use “he* is impeding my efforts” next time a cat gets in the way, I’ll be very disappointed in myself.

*or she, depending on which cat.

Oh look! Amanda’s hair is no longer half green!

Isn’t THAT his stamp collection, though?

Helping. Licking the stamps for Dan. They flutter to the floor when you push them off the table. Pouncing on, and ‘killing’, the ones that dare to move from even the slightest air movement. (Taunting is not tolerated in Cat World.) And with the possible aid of static cling, by walking nonchalantly away with them. Ric may object to them being plucked off with metal tweezers instead of fingers.

If Dan’s interestd in it, then Ric wants to be a part of it.

Exactly. The altruism of cats is well documented.

Who doesn’t want stamps with cat hair stuck to them?

When our cats try to “help”, we refer to them as the supervisors! Ha ha.

I still have my old stamp album from when I was a kid.

I have that same situation when trying to make bassoon reeds.

Ric wasn’t impeding; he was *stamp*eding.

Ric was probably trying to get his own stamp collection – by walking over and through Dan’s work! Bet his fur collected all sorts of stamps!
