Kitten Kitchen capers

One thing that I’ve recently discovered about myself is that I’m a bit of a cat person. I’ve always liked cats, but I’ve never been one for images of cats. Images of my own cat are perfectly fine. I have hundreds (that might be a slight exaggeration) of them. Now, I don’t have a cat anymore. My little guy died about a decade ago and since I’m very allergic to cat dander, I can’t get another (I did know I was allergic when I got him, but I fell in love and with youthful exuberance thought I could manage it with allergy medication). My dogs that behave like cats will have to suffice. So, this cat obsession is strange. I prefer to think that I’m channeling my grandma who loved cats all of her life.

I think though even a dog person would fall in love with this image. When I saw the image, I immediately added the puzzle to my cart and was waiting, perhaps a little impatiently, for it to come. Once it arrived, I knew it was going to be the next one done.

I really don’t like sorting through and flipping over pieces. I just want to start working, which I usually do as I’m flipping pieces over.

And then I kind of forgot to take any photos. I really love puzzles and it’s the one time that I will sit still for hours with the TV on in the background and just work. I don’t get frustrated or bored and want to do something else. I just sit and keep on working, sifting through pieces and connecting sections. I’m not sure about other puzzlers, but I love the excitement of realizing that this one section you’re working on fits in another area. There’s this little rush in knowing that you’re just a little bit closer to seeing the full image.

This one really was a delight to work on. It’s called Kitten Kitchen Capers by Buffalo Games. It’s 750 pieces. I found it quite easy to work on. I thought the cats might pose some trouble as animals can sometimes because of the fur and the similar coloring, but they were easy. I’m not sure which one I love more, though the cat in the sink might be edging out the cat stepping on the spoon of flour. My grandma would have loved this one and gotten a real good laugh out of it. I might have even glued it and framed it for her, so she could get a chuckle every time she saw it.
