How to sit in a chair
How to sit down in a chair without sitting on the cat in it.
Step 1: put a folded towel in the seat, fold at the back Step 2: wait for the cat to take over the chair (probably not very long) Step 3: lift up the edge of the top layer of the towel, rolling the cat to the back of the seat and forcing the legs and tail close to the cat's body Step 4: sit down on the exposed part of the bottom layer of the towel When getting up, pull the top layer of the towel back to the front of the seat to reset the cat roller. I devised this to deal with Chloe having taken over my kitchen table chair - I got tired of putting her down, and she got tired of having to pull her paws and tail out from under me (sometimes with my help). She doesn't seem to mind the towel thing as much as she minds being sat on or moved. -- T.E.D. ) MST (Missouri University of Science and Technology) used to be UMR (University of Missouri - Rolla). |

She knows I won't sit on her body ... at least not if I know she is there, but she does have a habit of sticking her paws and tail out into the area where I have to sit (the front edge of *my own* chair ... at least it's mine in the sense that I paid good money for it, but as they say, possession is nine points of the law, and she is usually, these cold days, in possession). -- T.E.D. ) MST (Missouri University of Science and Technology) used to be UMR (University of Missouri - Rolla). |

I lost count of how often I sat down on her, poor little girl. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

I lost count of how often I sat down on her, poor little girl. Poor Sammy has the same problem. I keep telling her that it's next to impossible for me to see a meatloafing tuxedo kitty when it's dark. Especially when she's on the black computer chair or dark blue bedspread - for that matter the blue rub in the bathroom. -- Steve Touchstone Little Bit, Sammy, Spotty, Princess, Furby and Rocky (RB) Pix at http://tinyurl.com/22pfn8 Vids at http://tinyurl.com/4yb6nj |
