My Secretary

Here is a picture of my secretary enjoying a much-needed rest after telling me how to write the other day. He sits near my computer and gives me looks when I type the wrong thing.
I wanted to get his photo of him sitting there but he is shy and runs when he sees a phone pointed at him. He is such a good secretary though.
Do you have a secretary?

Can you imagine how someone would react if her cat answered the phone for her?

@BearArtistLady A lot of people are affected by the overdose of pollen in the Spring. I'm not surprised you have a kitty that is affected in the same way.

@BearArtistLady Our cats will do anything for catnip. Then they act like drunken fools.

@LadyDuck Ginger kitties are so pretty. I did not have a cat for years but I took care of cats and dogs in our park when their owners were away. They got lots of petting because I would watch the people's cable TV. Some people asked me to keep their animals company every day.

Your photo of your kitty didn't post, hon. I'm sure he's a good secretary, though.
Edit to add: Ahh, there he is! He's beautiful!

We no longer have any assistants. I miss them. That's a cute photo.

@akalinus I have dozens of pictures and many, many fond memories of them. They were all so special in their own way.

No secretary here.
I am my own Boss, Secretary, Friend N Foe all rolled into one!
In a way, your secretary's sternness is good for you.
He might be guiding you in bringing out good or high quality output.
But well, he doesn't looks like Human!
Is that an animal, a mutant from the Harry Potter world or a Robot?
Well, the mystery begins for me !!

Our deep philosophical insights can go only that much.
May be one day you get a bigger understanding of the Cat language!!

@allknowing He probably lets you live there so you can feed and take care of him. He is the king and you are staff. Meow!

@akalinus aww! So cute! Well, wasn't all that long ago I was trying to type and my cat, Leilah, decided to sit right in front of me so I couldn't see my laptop.
I think she might be MY boss!

Petey is great on the computer. He will erase responses, orders, programs or place orders. He also loves to sit on the computer and fart. There is nothing like a rumbling cheek rattler to make you abandon your computer for five to ten minutes. 
I may be getting a Siamese kitten in a few weeks and it will be interesting to see how it will grow up and how bossy it will be. I may try teaching it to make coffee and tea. LOL If Petey has his way it will also learn how to sew too. I've given up thinking that I'm the boss, my house is run by the cats.

@akalinus Right now I have a problem with Petey jumping on the top of my tackle boxes (they're the four drawer kind with the lid and a door that closes so you don't lose your tackle...they're darned expensive and Petey used to sleep in the top portion. I'll check and see if I still have a picture of him in it). He successfully clears the top of the boxes and sits on top of them and smirks at me. Anything that is on top of the box goes flying and I have to search for it, the big one today was my cell phone. I spent an hour searching for it and he had managed to send it flying from the box onto my chair and then bury it in the cushions. Sigh, such is life with a bossy feline!
I just got a look at the picture and it's one of the good ones. He somehow fell out of the top part and fell rather ungracefully onto the floor.

I have three secretaries. Two female, One male. They sit in my lap while I type or read. The fourth cat sometimes sits on the desk. He isn't a lap cat yet.
