and the laundry,
even the hand-washing.
He helps me fold laundry,
make the bed,
and even on the rare occasions when I iron.
I have kitty assistance for sewing,
handling the garden harvest,
decorating,
and working on the computer
or laptop.
When I had surgery....
I was hardly ever without my sidekick--who conveniently woke me up every four hours for my medication. For the most part, I find his "help" rather endearing.
So far this spring I have planted:
onions
spinach
snow peas
beets
So far Theo has dug up:
onions
spinach
beets
The snow peas have only survived because I planted them under the mulch in-between the rows of garlic, and I don't think he can find it. Sometimes, it's because he's doing hideous things in the garden beds, but other times he sees me digging and plops down beside me and starts digging away because he thinks that's what we're doing for the day. Last year he dug up the kohlrabi and radishes as fast as I planted them. This year we're starting earlier. BOTH of us.

And the wonderful thing about cats is that they never ever doubt your sanity but happily play along, no matter how queer your actions may seem to the kitty brain. Maine Coons are especially skilled in making believe. ;-)
'Helping' with gardening isn't limited to feline companions. Our Miele is really good at helping 'clean up' the seeds and row markers that my husband is forgetful enough to leave in the ground.
Oh, my. Sorry. Can't stop laughing. Theo, love, you're a trip.
