Last week I thought I was getting myself a bowl of potato chips (Brit.trans: crisps). I looked down to find I'd poured myself a lovely wee bowl of Zebby's dry cat food!
Then there was the occasion I put the toaster away, with the freshly made toast still in it.......
Zebby's answer to His daft human's actions is to sleep out of sight, well almost:

Not to worry I do daft things all the time. It is nothing to put things in the oven that should be in the fridge or visa versa :-))) Have a good weekend, love to Zebby, Diane
Dear Diane - yes, our brains seem to have a grasp on only half of what the task requires. Rest assured I laugh at myself, long and heartily.
Oh thank Goodness these things are not happening to just me!
I get names muddled up and am always calling every one the wrong name. My family have learned to answer to anything. The only thing to do is to laugh.....
That photo of Zebcat is hilarious!

Nuts in May
My moments like that have to do with my increasing years, or so my sons tell me. Jeremy just says, "don't bother upping your dose of gingko...you're hopeless, Mom." Don't I have wonderful sons?
Dear Maggie - I grew up constantly being called by my sister's name by dear Mum - but she had worse as her dear Mother would often have to run through all the children's names to get to Mum. Mum would hear "Frank -- Roy -- Molly" as Nana finally got to her name.
Darling Carmen - us daughters are no better. My dear Mother suffers even more as both her daughters have inherited dear Dad's sense of humour. He teases her often, and then every so often Liz and/or Mickle come to stay...... I'll add that my Folks have been happily married since June 1959.
Oh look at dear sweet Zebby. If he can't see then he surely is invisible right? giggle giggle.
Oh my how I have had those moments. I call them operational shut downs. How many times I have cracked the egg into the sink and thrown the shell into my recipe. Or I have also dumped the serving of sugar into the trash and thrown the small paper packet into my tea cup.
I just laugh at myself.
Have a blessed and wonderful day today.
Sweetie - I'm truly sorry - but I'm laughing and laughing! You haven't told me this!
You're not related to Di are you?
Dear Jules - such a relief that even someone a little younger than me has such moments. Sending many huggles to you.
Aims, dear girl - these were so funny I just had to share them with the blogworld.
Good one John! Take care, matey xxx
I can't resist the silly temptation of trying to peel an apple without breaking the peeling.
I have to hang my keys on a nail on the side of a bookshelf, or I will never find them. If things don't go in the same place every time, they never get found again. When I do something really nutty, I just tell the kids it's the early alzheimers kicking in. Zebby seems to deal with it the way my boys do. Thor just waits for me to give him the food I've lost.
Huggles from my chilly corner of the world,
Marjie
Oh, Urs - isn't that fun! We used to do the same with the wrappers from a NZ sweet (Minties) when I was at Brownies (prelude to Girl Guides - I dropped out of GG)
Marjie - back in the mid 1980s Dad was known for mislaying his work keys at work, so I gave him a "Whistle to Locate" key ring. It worked wonders for him but I was no help - Michelle can't whistle!
Ha-ha, great post...and for certain I don't see no Zebbeecat in hiding...that is obviously one of those NZ Cattail plants from the marshes...we have regular cattails here, not so beautifully striped!!
Oh, and I'm in the 'daft' club too...yesterday I went to get two slices of bread to make grilled cheese. I found two slices with the cheese already between, inside the bread bag! I guess that when I decided not to make grilled cheese the day before, but had the fixings ready to go, I put it all back in the bag! I don't remember doing that at all LOL!
That's just one instance. ~smile~
Darling Liz - the best bit is that we can stand back and laugh so much (hoping no member of our beloved famdamily saw it all happen!)
