December 5

Diego the Detective

To say Diego is curious is an understatement. He inspects everybody and everything that enters the house.
Every nook and cranny, closets, open cabinet doors, under and behind furniture are his areas of inspection.
A few weeks ago I had a feeling that we had a slow hot slab leak (broken hot water pipe) under our house, but I could not find the exact spot.
A few days ago I found Diego lying under one of the vanities in the guest bathroom, and sure enough the warmth had attracted him.
Meanwhile I've dealt with the insurance company, inspectors, asbestos testers and several plumbers.
The good news is that we are completely covered and we will have no out of pocket expenses. Even the deductible has been waived.
And thanks to Diego I found the leak.
In the photo he can be seen proudly posing in the morning sun complete with dust in the left ear from a recent "inspection".

Wonderful portrait of Diego! Good for him; his curiosity really paid off for you!

Diego looks to be very large, and in charge. Nice capture.

Excellent portrait. v
Hurrah to Diego for his good detective work.

A very regal looking portrait of this great inspector. Maybe Diego would like a job and find leaks for other families. No, maybe not, it might cut into his napping time. He is a handsome cat. V

You should hire Diego out! A fantastic portrait that fits his profession. V

There you go Diego, your fresh tuna is coming :)))

He found your leak but lost his warm spot. Nice shot of "Detective Diego". Love the look of satisfaction on his face and the dust in the ear :-)

Not only is Diego very handsome , he is also very clever to find your leak. I hope he got some special treats for all his hard work. v

He looks the part of inspector extraordinaire in this beautiful portrait, complete with dust bunny (evidence of his hard work). You could hire him out! V.

Nice portrait of Diego, he's the hero of the house now!

He's a keeper. Free room and board for the rest of his life.
LynnH06-Dec-2013 03:04
I like curious cats too. This is a great photo, especially cute with the dust bunny on his ear. V
Sorry about the house. I'm glad your insurance will cover it. If you remember, I had a $13,000 repair done to my slab earlier this year. Not covered.

Diego the detective. Do I see a new role for him in the future?? He does look very proud, as he should. I hope he got some extra treats for his efforts. And oh, did I say, he is BEAUTIFUL!!! V

Beautiful big guy!

Eye see, he said. Maybe he and his cat friends can send out good wishes
for my Winslow, as he heals from a nasty golf-ball sized bite abcess on his
leg. V!
