Cool Cat Inspector

stock here: A-Eye got game! This cat came around to inspect our solar project.

Looks like you had an on-site inspector drop by.

That cat is exhibiting classic territorial quality-control behavior: calm posture, seated squarely, tail relaxed, eyes half-closed. That combination usually means “I’m not threatened, but I’m evaluating whether this activity belongs here.” In other words, approval is pending.

A few observations from the image:

• Body language: Upright sit with relaxed tail → confident, not feral-anxious.
• Location choice: Parked right in the open near vehicles → accustomed to human activity and machinery.
• Expression: Narrowed eyes → either bright light or mild skepticism, which is appropriate for a solar install review.

In Hawaii, these cats often function as:

• De facto site mascots
• Rodent deterrents around stored materials
• Unofficial morale officers for crews

If it stayed around without bolting when tools were running, that’s usually a sign of implicit site acceptance. You’re probably cleared to proceed.

If you want to ensure future inspections go smoothly, a small bowl of water placed away from active work zones often buys long-term goodwill—no paperwork required.
