In this house, it’s the dining room table. Despite it’s hard surface, it’s the place to be. All shiny and usually clean. So elegant! And the humans get so excited to see us there. They used to flap their arms but they stopped doing that. Now they just say “whatever.” We are pretty sure that means “nice kitty.”
All except Gracie visit it from time to time with Hazel monopolizing it the most.

Hazel and Morgan are sharing but Hazel gets the chickens. They are HER chickens. DO NOT TOUCH THE CHICKENS!
Even a corner will do. Let the footsies hang over.Mollie is the resident designer. She prefers to fluff up any centerpiece.
All the cats here with you a great weekend! Mollie says to call if you need design help.
I’m not quite at the point of saying whatever. I know the cats get on the counter and dining room table. I chase them off. But my chasing has slowed down.

Slowing down is the first step. Realizing it’s futile is the end result.

The chicken’s expression looking at Hazel says it all.
Of course cats are design divas…they take very seriously keeping your, I mean their house interiors on the Best Of lists…they have a reputation to consider.

I sleep in my bed much the same way – with footsie’s hanging off. Somehow, it’s comfortable. Just all me “Kitty.” 🙂

Ours sit on the kitchen table. One of our cats virtually lives on the top of the fridge. Basically, any cats hang out precisely where you don’t want them. That’s cats!

That photo is from last winter. I haven’t put the chickens out yet. She misses her buddies but has been sleeping with the swan that is currently residing on the d.r. table.

The lure of the dining room table. I used to float mini roses in crystal bowls…until those they became Bat Cat’s preferred water bowl.

Dogs could never lounge around so graceful! Adorable photos. We had one cat that loved to sleep in a round flower pot. I gave up trying to keep a plant in it.

Love the kitty lounge!
When Tigger was a wee kitten, he loved climbing in and on things. One day, we searched high and low for the little guy and couldn’t find him . . . until he raised his head from the wooden bowl he was napping in.

Yes, that and how many breakables are there. Morgan loves the top of the mantel. It’s high but she can jump up in one leap. However, she bumps things and topples things. I’ve removed anything I treasure or is valuable. She’s four. I thought she’d be out of this phase but not quite yet.
