If you don't think cats can dominate a household, we've had a gap
in
our living room ever since we moved a comfy chair into the dining
room
because the cats wanted it in there (it takes too long to
explain).
This week we noticed a beautiful restored chair in a local
upholstery
repair shop. It was on sale at a discount price, so we bought it
and
set it in our living room. Two of our cats (who'll remain
nameless)
strolled in, spotted the chair and made a beeline for it. You
could
read on their furry faces what they were thinking: - "Aha! A big
new
scratching post!" We quickly covered it with a sheet and headed
for
the stores to find a chair throw for our purchase. No luck. So we
bought one on the Internet. It'll be delivered on Friday - for
about
the same amount we saved with the discount on the chair. Cats!!!

Are you sure they didn't think "big new bed"?

Oh, they did! When we returned from shopping for a chair cover, we
found Sophie curled up asleep on top of the temporary sheet over the
new chair. But no clawing...the sheet's too gooshy for that pursuit!

Mr. Pumpkin, my heart-of-my-heart cat, has discovered my right leg and knee
soft cast to be a wonderful scratching post. I do not feel the same way
about this venture so it is a short lived exercise every time he tries!

Spicey has a scratching spot on my Wheelchair. Actually she seems very fond of
my chair. She sleeps on the seat the first part of the night (seats warm from
moi). This AM at 5:30 she was on the floor curld around my detachable footrest.
Sweet, but odd kitty.

Suz,
They are, for the most part, all sweet but odd, some odd-er than others. I
think that is what makes them so darn loveable!
