Mopping Around

It took years for us to discover this, but it turns out that Sasha actually does want to extend a helping paw around the house. (The jury is still out on Lucy. I'm pretty sure she thinks she deserves the royal life, watching us humans bend to her every whim in humble servitude.) Sasha likes to mop the floor, though not via the standard method. Even though I am certain she has the best of intentions, what she brings forth in ambition she lacks in opposable thumbs.

In typical form, it was Latino who discovered her mopping ability. Sasha was meowing and begging for his attention on the kitchen floor. He began petting her and she flopped onto the floor. He then must have seen a look in her eye indicating that she wanted to help us. She stretched out her body and Latino began pushing her back and forth and in figure eights across the floor. She remained motionless, letting her body do the work. He is the handle to her mop head, and she is putty in his hands.They are quite a perfect match in cleaning partnership, or if nothing else, cheap entertainment. I mentioned to someone the use of Sasha to mop the floor, and she said Latino is practically a scientist for figuring that out. Latino's head is big enough; I don't want him to take the credit for Sasha's generosity.

Unfortunately, she only is proficient in dry mopping at this moment. As soon as Latino can convince the cats to shower perhaps we can move on to wet mopping. That is the subject for another day.
