Several years ago, my grandmother gave me an old rocking chair that I kept meaning to have re-caned. Last year, I decided that it did not go with any part of my decor. Neither was it very smart furniture to have around our two long-tailed tabby cats, constantly underfoot and underchair.
Turns out that my mom thought she should have had first dibs on the chair anyway. Done deal, right?
Wrong. Yang, the larger of the underfoot tabbies, claimed the chair as his own not two weeks after Mom claimed it as her own. Cushioned with a Mom-made afghan and a blanket, it’s one of his favorite nesting spots.
So, the chair complements nothing, needs refinishing, and technically belongs to my mom. It stays, of course, because a 13-year-old, 12-pound cat likes to nap in it.
Welcome to the Crow Haggerty House of Cats. We’re all mad here.
Have a chair like that myself. My sister decided to take it when it was too broken down for human comfort and it has become a nap area for her cats. Wouldn’t have it any other way!!
Ah yes, the cats rule the roost here too. That is why we have two sinks in the master bath–one for us and one for the cats. And Abby is on a campaign to steal ours!
I have to do my hair in the guest bathroom because Yin owns our second master bath sink. He gets ready with my husband every morning.
