Do you have a favorite place to sit in your livingroom?

This was so funny what happened to Petals. Well, I'm sure Petals didn't think it was funny, but we did.
First off, I got tired of my livingroom furniture this weekend and needed a change, so I started moving things around to something like this.



Now, the sofa used to be over where the chair is now by the steps. Petals would come down the steps, climb through the rails onto my shoulder, then to my chest where she'd lay down. That was always where I sat. Well, she must not have realized that we moved the furniture.


To make this make more sense, Petals is VERY skittish and loves her poppa but never sits on him, etc.

She came strolling down the steps as always, came through the railing onto Jerry's shoulder, (he was sitting in his chair), circled once or twice like always and PLOPPED down onto his chest/belly. She licked one paw, looked up at his face and ZIPPED
off like it was a total stranger. I was watching from the sofa on the other side of the room.
My poor baby!

It was the funniest thing we'd seen in a while.
She came peeping out from behind the chair and looked up at him like, "what are you doing there?" and glared at us both
and wandered off to the bedroom!

That is a really cute story
.

Mittens likes to sleep on the back of the loveseat or under my bed and Yen loved to sit in the windowsill and look like an ornament. She's fooled a few people

i just wanted to add that yes I do have a spot in the livingroom, I only have one sofa, so I sit in the middle, with Vino on one side, one of the cats in my lap (maybe 2!) and the rest of them positioned in various spots around the couch
Girl, my other dog, is usually sitting next to the coffee table- she can't get on the couch, otherwise I'm sure she's be up there too

Sounds cozy Katie! The more the merrier I always say! (unless they're all sitting on you sleeping and then you have to go potty!)

Awww...poor Petals!! Susie, I can't believe you'd move your furniture around without getting it approved by your cats first!

Oh, what an adorable story! I have to admit... taking our cat's "place" on the sofa was how we finally got her to come around. Our girls were rescues, and it took nine months for the momma to show any interest in human attention. Now, she has no problem stepping all over your things in order to plop down on you.
