Andy rested peacefully in his current happy place, the computer desk shelf. He can bird watch from there or sleep.
Well rested, Andy paused long enough on the recliner footrest to be seen by Dougy. (That’s Dougy’s ottoman poking out on the right side, in front of that box I hope I can trash out one day.)
Grrr! Dougy needs to straighten Andy up. Not acceptable! Not acceptable! No one gets close to his ottoman!
Yep, he scratches his ottoman to make his point. (Andy isn’t around to see it.)
Lucio does that too, only it is a patch of carpet. Dougy has marked that one well! 🙂
There is a pinch point between the ottoman and the recliner that they both try to avoid….
It looks like Dougy has definitely put his stamp on the ottoman. If he sharpens his nails on it then it is his fur sure! Tee hee hee!
That’s exactly what the little poop does. Andy and Dougy were the first cats I got as kittens. Though I did eventually buy a book (KITTENS FOR DUMMIES – yes, it’s a real book!), the kitty boys already had their behavior patterns hard-wired. I am a very inadequate mini-lion tamer! Oh well, as Jackson Galaxie would tell me, I’m the problem not Andy and Dougy.
A word of caution: kitties could be quite unhappy when their favorite shredded pieces of furniture are trashed.
When Dougy dies, the ottoman will be recovered. (Sorry to be so blunt about it….)
Dougy is King of his Ottoman Empire 🙂
And how!
Scratch, scratch !!! 🙂
Great pics!
Thanks! My smart phone isn’t the best tool for the job, but I’ve learned to anticipate behaviors so the slow shutter clicks at the best time…most times!
Welcome!
Snorts and rolls with piggy laughter. We anipals all have our favorite spots as well here at the Hotel Thompson. And there *our* spots. Us anipals know it. HA! Happy Monday my friends. XOXO – Bacon
Oh dear! As many of you as there are, it must be a challenge to get and keep you favorite spots!
It’s all about pecking order – Snorts and rolls with piggy laughter. I get in front of the fireplace. Hemi gets daddy’s lap. Houdini gets mommy because he is the baby. Thankfully it works… I think. XOXO – Bacon
Andy sure knows how to live a good life!
He’s the more deliberate of the two kitty boys. I think you are right!
And people say that dogs have the life!!?!
LOL! Well, they do, too!
Is there any “picking order” between them?
Yes, and it changes minute to minute, depending on where they are in the apartment. (Different places around the apartment are claimed by one or the other kitty boy.)
😊
why all things come with just one footrest? we need two , humans have two feet so…;O))
LOL! Makes sense.
Guarding territory seems to be an ongoing job !
In this household it does!
