Andy knows he “owns” the recliner as long as Dougy’s not around! On the other hand, there have been times the kitty brothers shared the recliner.
Um…not this time.
Well, maybe they don’t share as much as I thought!
Why, the little poop!
Much better!
Awww! My little angels!
Andy and Dougy are very sweet! Our cats love their favorite furniture too, and do not want another cat to come up and share! Sometimes the piece of “furniture” they are defending is the top of my head when I am trying to sleep. And then there are those peaceful moments when they do. 🙂
LOL! I just had an image of all your cats fighting for a favorite spot on your head, Lavinia!
I have awakened with a beehive hairdo more than once! 🙂
LOL! Yep! Andy used to suckle on my beard. Of course, that included kneading.
Truffle and Brulee don’t share furniture as much now as they did when they were kittens.
We are slowly reconnecting with our friends since Mom Paula retired and hope to see you more often.

I can appreciate that. Retirement opens up opportunities (like the time…) to do that! Dougy and Andy have their moments. but often enough, if I’m in the recliner, both can share it and me by strategic positioning on the arms, back, or foot rest. Dougy usually takes the foot rest, which is within hopping distance of the ottoman he claims, and Andy takes on of the other spots. Whew1 It’s so tricky being a kitty cat!
They are little angels.
Mostly they are!
That chair is big enough for two!
Even three! I often have both on the recliner with me.
They remind me of my sons when they were little. One minute fighting and the next having fun playing together. Boys.
Ha! Ha! There is something to that!
Cats aren’t much for sharing sitting and sleeping territories.
That’s a fact! I see videos or photos of cats grooming each other and sleeping on each other, and I think they must be very different cats.
They are usually young
Yes.
Why does Andy look so different on the second picture? Isn’t his fur on his back black?
The difference in how the kitties look in photos is partly because of lighting, and partly because of what I did in editing to try to bring the best rendition of their colors up. The to brothers are black, with an undercoat of light grey. A lot of times, they look different when the sun hits them a certain way. I can see Birman features (black on head, legs, tail; grey elsewhere) sometimes in certain light. It’s difficult to take photos of them and have true colors.
I see.
It is tedious trying to get the colors to match the cats’ true colors when their true colors are highly variable this way! Were you to see them in real life, you’df see their many colors, too, though black is the most typical color they appear to be.
I hope they did share for a while.
Actually, they will share the recliner for long periods if they select their roosting spots carefully. Andy might chose the top of the back, and Dougy the seat with no further competition, for example. Also, if I’m in the recliner, both kitty boys will join me there with no problem.
sharing is caring… or chairing is cairing?
It is a delicate peace any way! Though the are best buddies, they know which pieces of furniture are claimed by the other, and respect it or else!
