I was on an inspection today and, to my surprise, I had expert assistance. I was checking out the source of food for the house -- the refrigerator. I not only make sure that the appliance is operating but take a look at the gaskets.

Lo and behold, as is so often the case, there was a gasket tear. As I shot a photo of it, for the file, I found that I was getting expert assistance from a specialist.

It is not easy, at most inspections, to find such good help.

Thanks for stopping by,

Every set of eyes helps, right?  And hey, he was already down there, so he figured why not?  Most likely, he thought you opened that sucker just so he could get something to eat and was lazing his way over to check it out!  :)  He is a cat after all!

Kitties often hide when someone enters the home, but as they say 'Curiosity killed the cat'.

I like your assistant but I think she has 9 lives.  What do you think?

And the costs for such assistance is at an all time low.  A 30 second tummy rub and you are all good.

Cool! I agree, 30 sec tummy rub and a little luvin' and your assistant is p-u-u-r-rfectly content. Now if we could just please the rest of our clients that easy...

Your assistant, Nutsy, and my little godson, has taken on the looks of a cat.  He is so versatile.
