Some of you may remember my post from about 2 weeks ago, when I bought my new chair 1/2. Someone needs to remind my 9 cats that II paid for that chair! They've taken it over. Usually, there are 4 cats staked out around the thing--1 on each arm, the back, 2 on the seat. They just love the upholstery, too. So far, luckily, they haven't started scratching it up!
It really is nice, when I'm allowed to sit in it. I made myself a cosy reading corner--chair, floor lamp, silver tea set, big side table, right next to the fireplace. I've draped a vanilla velvet-backed faux white mink blanket over it--so nice to snuggle in when I'm ALLOWED TO SIT IN MY CHAIR. I put a hold on the matching storage ottoman, too, which hopefully will arrive this week. I
had chided myself for spending the money, as I really didn't need a new chair, despite the 2 small ones the cats have torn up. But, it's so lovely to have a nice place to read!
BTW, this upholstery (a sort of low-pile chenille?) is great for the cat hair problem I have with the faux suede. The fur sort of balls up, and I can simply pick it up and discard it. Also, the Dust Buster picks it up--which it never did on any other upolstered/carpeted (like the scratching post) surface. It's soft and warmer to the touch, too.
Here's the chair; also click on the ottoman:

Funny, nobody was on it when I started typing--I just turned around to see 4 cats on the chair again! I just told DH what I had posted, and he said, "Shh! Don't talk too loudly about the chair and the cats. They [cats] may take your privileges away." :-)
