Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2004You move you lose
There I was, relaxing in the recliner watching the news, when Rocky came to the door and announced he was ready to come inside. Since Little Bit was napping on the raised footrest, I had to be careful getting out of the chair, but managed to get up and open the door for the Rock. At least I thought I had managed not to wake her, but when I turned back I saw that Little Bit had shifted to the chair seat as soon as I got up, and now Sammy was now on the footrest. They were acting like they'd been napping there all along, and putting on performances worthy of an Oscar. I have to admit Little Bit's performance was better, since Sammy kept cocking her ears at me, and I could tell she was snickering at me. Oh well, it was about dinner time anyway. If I put out some food I figured they would follow me to the kitchen. So, I went and opened up a can, but only Rocky came to eat. I decided to make a cup of coffee, hoping that they'd give up the chair if I acted like I wasn't interested. Big mistake! I finished making coffee and returned to the living room to find not one, not two, but all three cats now sacked out on my chair. Sammy now had her snickers under control, so she and Little Bit looked like they had been asleep there for hours. Rocky is new to the acting business - his posture was ok, but his eyes were obviously open as he watched me come in the room. What'd I do? What could I do? I gave up on getting my chair back and turned on the computer. 5 minutes later I heard a noise in the kitchen and looked up to see Sammy eating, and Little Bit on her way back into the living room after finishing her dinner. I turned around, to find Rocky laying in front of the patio door watching cat TV (AKA the bird feeders). Anyone care to guess how many cats were in the recliner after everyone had eaten and returned to the living room? Zero, zip, nada. Sammy took her after-dinner nap in her carrier - Little Bit took hers on the couch - Rocky fell asleep in front of the Cat TV.

I have a sheepskin on my chair - Apache and I have a daily discussion as to whose chair this is.

Ever since I've sat on them a few times *by mistake*, the cats won't sleep in my chair any longer, or if they do, they vacate it quickly when they see me approach it. I swear, I didn't sit on them on purpose, but of course, the cats think I am evil and will sit on them every chance I get. If Frank is sleeping on the bed and I go and sit down on the edge of the bed, he will get up and move if he thinks I sat down too close. It was a *mistake* for pity's sake! Give me a break already. -- Marina, guilt-ridden and not allowed to forget >> Big mistake!

Uh, dear, you need to move. MEOW! PURR. No, really, you need to move, I have to get ready for work. OW.. OW! Persia, come on, get off my legs. I have to stand up to get her off my lap. Jill >LOL!

It must be those dark Finnish winters. :) > I love the part about you sitting on them every chance you get! But > you've sat on both of them, and more than once?
