Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2005New leather couch brings out the wild animal in Vino
Yesterday our long awaited, custom made, leather couch and loveseat got delivered. It was an exciting day for everyone, but none more so than Vino. I don't know if it was the smell of dead cow or what, but he went absolutely nuts over the couch. I've never seen anything like it. He scooted from one side to the other, sliding his arms into the cracks between cushions in the most kittenlike way. He was bug eyed, perky eared and ridge backed. His little bunny tail was all fluffed out. He was experiencing his second kittenhood! In between attacking the couch greeblings, he would race off and jump on his little catnip pillow and give that a good thrashing. Then it was back to the couch. After a while, he was visibly exhausted. But he still wouldn't leave the couch alone. He went to sleep wedged into the slope between the cushion and the arm of the couch, with his nose buried in the crack, breathing dead cow smell the whole time. Aaaaah, kitty heaven :-) Some pictures here: http://tinyurl.com/8zg3l It's this one and the next 3 after it. Sorry, no pics from the height of his zoominess, we were both laughing way too hard to be able to take any pictures of that :-) -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > Yesterday our long awaited, custom made, leather couch and loveseat > got delivered.

Bandit has a leather shoe fetish (well, she is female, leather shoes kinda turn me on too!). She'll roll around on them like they're made of catnip. ;> Hugs, CatNipped > Yesterday our long awaited, custom made, leather couch and loveseat > got delivered.

Vino looks great, as always. Bongs? Um, okay, different term here for "bongs" ;) Japanese fisherman's floats LOL Jill >>>BTW, I finally quite looking at Vino and noticed... *gorgeous* couch! >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Jill Yeah, I went searching the album for "bongs" but didnt find any! ;) Anyhow, we also just got new furniture a lot like Vino's new stuff! Brown leather! However, my twosome seems to think they smell funny or something. They havent spent a ton of time on them yet. We got a couch, loveseat, chair and ottoman. All brown leather. LOVE IT! :-) Pam >>>> BTW, I finally quite looking at Vino and noticed... *gorgeous* >>>> couch! [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Pam Congrats! New furniture is so much fun :-) Gotta love brown leather! I wouldn't worry if your cats aren't spending much time on it. At least they aren't scratching it that way :-) -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > Congrats!

Yeah, incidentally, the chair got its first scratch from Luna tonight. She did it while leaping on it to get to the window behind it! Oh well. The furniture is nice, but we assume it will take somewhat of a beating with 2 furballs living here. We got some nice suede-like (polyester though) throw pillows just tonight... and Dudley already made himself comfy propped up on it! :) new decorations are fun too!

But I'm really lousy at fishing. >>> I also liked the tropical indoor plants and the bowl filled with >>> bongs. Vino looks great, as always. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > a Japanese, I should have known better! But I'm really lousy at > fishing. Most of them (the floats) are antiques, Tak. Can't blame you for not knowing they used them to float nets that were cast in the water :D Jill >>BTW, I finally quite looking at Vino and noticed... *gorgeous* couch! > > I also liked the tropical indoor plants and the bowl filled with > bongs.

Vino looks great, as always. BONGS??? Ummm, we don't own any bongs. They are just coloured glass balls that Dennis had made at a glass factory in Burma for $1 each. We do own a middle eastern water pipe, otherwise known as a sheesha or hookah, but it's not a bong ;-) -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album >>BTW, I finally quite looking at Vino and noticed... *gorgeous* couch! > > I also liked the tropical indoor plants and the bowl filled with > bongs.

It was so great to be able to pick the style and the leather and the stitching and the legs all seperately at the factory. And altogether it was less than half of what it would have been back home. Thankfully we're not worried that Vino will wreck it. He only scratches his sisal wrapped scratching posts and we also keep his claws clipped. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album LOL, Britta -- you can see him thinking, "And it's all MINE!"

I just love his round little punkin head. ;-) ------ Krista > http://tinyurl.com/8zg3l Awwww.... he's a cutie! And great looking couch too.  SignatureVictor M.

I have a leather chair, and Stinky hates it. He seems to know he shouldn't stick his claws in it, and I think it feels too slippery to him. If I'm sitting in it, he'll still come and sit in my lap, though.

We bought a leather couch and love seat eighteen years ago when oldest daughter had our first grandson. And it still looks pretty decent. Now if I could just find an upholstery person to go in and retie come of the springs. But eighteen years and three grandsons and all their friends later, I think its amazing. Smartest thing we ever bought. Jo > Yesterday our long awaited, custom made, leather couch and loveseat > got delivered.

Vino has such a round face! I love it, he's adorable!! Nice couch too :) Kristy |
