Another scenario to envision: Imagine Watchcat Collette running through the living room, as she did last Thursday, with a grocery bag around her neck. I removed the bag as soon as I caught up to her. Conveniently, that was just after she'd delivered the supplies she was carrying. I have to admire any watchcat who helps people in the style of a St. Bernard.

Watchcats on break
Due to technical difficulties, I'm unable to post a Watchcat protocol photo today. Imagine, if you will, though, a photo of Watchcat Rosie looking commanding, Watchcat Sammy looking even-tempered, Watchcat Nemo maintaining a poker face, Watchcat Sylvia looking heartwarming, Watchcat Collette looking simultaneously menacing and playful, or Watchcat Lily looking in charge yet guarded.
That'll have to do for now. Then again, there are 2,632 previous Watchcat protocol posts to enjoy, as well as other cat photos I've posted. That should be sufficient to tide everyone over until the glitch is fixed.

Watchcat Sammy could have been reading the comics section of the newspaper. Instead, he focused on his assigned sector and waited to read the comics until after his shift:
That's how dedicated he was to his job in July 2009.Monday, May 4, 2026
Watchcat protocol MMDCXXVIII
It doesn't happen often, but sometimes, a watchcat has to subdue a chair:
Mission accomplished for Watchcat Rosie, then, in November 2008.
