Living it up, cat-style

Our couch is old and worn and when we want it to look a little nicer, we spread a lovely Nova Scotia tartan blanket over it. The blanket belonged to Dan's late Mom so it's sentimental as well as just being good to look at it.

We often use the lovely blanket when we have people coming over but the cats – Grizzly and Junior – don't know that. As far as they're concerned, lovely blankets spread on the couch are for cats' pleasure and enjoyment. They often watch in anticipation as the humans are spreading the blanket and as soon as it's in place, so are they.

(Don't forget to click on the pictures to see the big ones.)

These cats don't particularly like each other but when there's common cause – a comfy not-every-day nap space – they're willing to tolerate each other.

They seem to have become aware of the photographer so they go into pose mode.

"Look at me. Do you think I have enough fur? Do you think I'm beautiful?"

And then, when we're ready to take the blanket off and fold it up until next time and we've obediently waited for the cats to decamp, we find that one of them is not finished yet. Grizzly has tucked under to have one more nap.

  1. I think it is the colour. The beautiful blue is very flattering to both G and J, and I expect they know it. Another blanket might work as well, but that blue is an special bonus.
