Well apparently, not me! A couple of years ago we were offered the chance of 2 black leather sofas for the healthy price of £100.00. With eight cats in the house, we were finding a fabric suite tiresome as we were forever removing cat hair from the fabric so decided that a leather option would be so much easier. It immediately became obvious that this was a clever purchase as leather wipes remove dirty footprints & any other "feline indiscretions" in the blink of an eye.
The problem is, The Effervescent Eight have claimed said furniture as their own. I am currently secreted in the corner of the two-seater with Feelix who is making full use of a whole seat to himself. As for space on the three-seater - forget it!!!! There are 5 little furry bodies taking up every available inch of the seating. From left to right, Lunar is sleeping on her head with a paw curled around her face; Oscar is laying on the sleeping bag content in the knowledge that his big brother will look after him; "big brother" is Spike who is completely out for the count next to Oscar; next to him is Wednesday, a little under the weather with a head cold & is struggling with a blocked nose and finally Princess Gizzy who is keeping royally aloof at the other end of the sofa.
As a final note, I've just noticed that Oscar's feet are twitching in his sleep - this is a sign that he is happy & dreaming of being a "big cat on the plains" (basically a small cat in a garden) but we'll keep humouring him. I watch my beloved cats and wish that all cats in the world could be as happy. I can keep wishing .....
