  3.  Person one calls person two, the husband, to begin assembling table consisting of a few wood pieces and a few metal upright pieces.
  4.  Cat begins chewing plastic bag, person one gathers bags and shoves them inside the shipping box.
  5.  Cat begins rubbing, purring and stepping on instructions.
  6.  Person two, the husband, tells cat to “Go away,”.
  7.  Cat ignores person two and rubs on person one, who is watching person two try to figure out the instructions seemingly written by an alien humanoid species not from this planet.
