Gracie here. I’m back from my staycation. No gallivanting! Just some lovely napping with a couple rounds of rotisserie chicken followed by nip.
It was a hectic week for the peeps. They’ve been working to make the office a nicer place for me. It’s where I am most of the time. There is a huge window with a good view of the cats next door. I keep an eye on them. They’ve been known to abscond with our chipmunks in their mouth. Not good. Anyhow it was carpet week. Running to different stores and bringing samples home. We cats love carpet samples. So many new smells and places to snooze.
I did my part. They brought two area rugs to try. They were very pretty. I think humans call them decorative or something like that. They have swirly things going on. The peep said that helps camouflage the cat stuff. (Good lord what cat stuff is she talking about? We fur them up to make them softer!) The samples were here two nights. I was good the first night and did my daily barf somewhere else but I thought to myself, I’d be doing the peeps a favor if I barfed on the samples. That way they can see if they are easy to clean. I did a minor barf on one.
The peep said I was naughty. (Yeah, I can’t believe it either. That woman doesn’t appreciate me!) Anyhow, it wasn’t too chunky (TMI?) and easy to clean. The guy at the carpet place said that technically they could hose it down in the driveway. It’s that easy. We’ll see about that. They ordered one and returned the barfy one in pristine condition. (Except that a dog or another cat would know!)
It’s time to refocus their attention on me. Right now Sasha has her big butt in my cat bed. We’ll see about that!
Have a great weekend and if you need help selecting carpets, give us a call.


Gracie, that was so helpful of you! I’m sure the peeps appreciated it 🙂

So happy to see you back, Gracie! We are hunting for an area rug. I think we found it. I wish you were here to give it your approval. You definitely need to get the Lady Peep to remove Sasha’s floofy butt from your bed. I just have a feeling that if they are working to make ‘your’ office nicer, the other Sassy Cats are going to want in on the deal! You might have to share or put up with them more than you could have thought because, you know, they are going to be attracted to all that NEW!

We have two beds on the cabinet. She could sleep in the other one…unless I want that one. She should really sleep in another room!

Gracie, you are a riot! Of course, you had to test out the carpet thoroughly. It’s practically your job! I hope your peeps have a great weekend. And good luck with Sasha.

The peep bought a new fleecy blanky for on top of the cat bed. All of us are cautious about it. Is it alive? Will it itch? Anyhow, now no one is sleeping in the bed and the peep is banging her head on the desk!

Dear Gracie – I like how you asked the Peep to fight your battles for you … did she help you out or were you relegated to sleeping on a hard surface while Sasha hogged your bed?

There is another bed on the cabinet at the other end. Technically it’s cushier but we all like the other one better.

Sometimes the view of the outside (and other cats) is a dealbreaker on the cushier aspect. 🙂

Sounds to me like you were very helpful to barf on the rug. Humans are so hard to please. Have a nice weekend. XO

It wasn’t a bad barf. I did one this week that included the desk, chair , cabinet side and floor. The peep whined about that one!

Oh Gracie! You made me remember when my children were young and did something naughty and I had trouble acting stern. I would find myself laughing. You didn’t REALLY barf on the carpet samples, did you? 🤣

Oh yes I did. I did last time they brought carpet samples home. Sometimes they put the samples high up so I can’t get at them but these were too big.

Sasha is warming up the bed to make it all comfy for you. Nice of her and it’s nice that the peeps got a rug that’s easy to clean so it’s ok for you to barf on it.

Cough, cough…the peep doesn’t think I should barf at all. Two vets, x-rays, bloodwork and lots of $$ and there is no solution. She is threatening to confine me in the cat room overnight because that’s when I barf. Cat room is barf proof.

Honest they do. If I bring a sample of fabric or carpet in the house, no matter how small, they immediately sit on it. There is a queue to sit on it! 🙂

Perfectly reasonable to give the possible new carpets the barf test. Makes sense to me! Sasha has a bad case of hangover regarding your bed……must be irresistibly comfy. Hopefully YOUR office will be finished up soon. I think the neighbor cats ought to pay for those snacks (the chipmunks) they are stealing from your yard. NOT FAIR.

The next door cats are real hunters. They live outside all the time (but have a heated shelter and 2 square meals a day). I feel kind of sorry for them except they seem to love the freedom. Our neighbor couldn’t get them to come inside.
