Tom in Charge

My management style starts with sitting in the sun a certain way. It gives me a halo, a saintly glow and I look  wise, good, and spiritual. This works very well since I am a man of the cloth fur. What does that have to do with being in charge of other people, you ask?




Doing it my way, you don't have to strong-arm or micromanage or walk around like a cop on a beat like Tinker. I just remind everyone that goodness for goodness' sake is the best way to be.


"Hey, buzz off!"

Tinker didn't think I heard him, but I DID!!

I make my rounds only once and find things in purrfect order..

Anastasia..


Check.

Tinker...



Oh, brother..!

Check.

And, finally, here's Mitty...ssshhhh!!




Sleeping like an angel and everyone is doing just fine. See? My management style works!

Next week: Anastasia and her secret weapon!

    Tom, it sure looks like you have everything under control. Looks like everyone is behaving themselves. Mitty is so darn cute. Hope all of you have a super week end.

    My managerial style is to give my human the Mad look. Then she does everything she can to make me Not Mad. Usually something out of the 1,448 things she does is the right thing.
