This is the front end…
…
and this is the other end.
Andy’s gradually getting used to the idea Dougy isn’t around to shoo him off the ottoman.

You are still using your laptop desk on top of the ottoman, though, but it is obvious that Andy is getting more comfortable there.
I put the whole thing on my lap or on top of top of a pillow (tilted so it doesn’t over heat…).
Complicated construction, but as long as the little one is comfortable.
That’s the main thing, eh?!
Of course. I don’t even want to mention junky things we have around the living room because His Majesty Barmalei wants them where he wants them, and the girls follow, of course.
LOL! Living with children or animals requires a certain tolerance to chaos!
I would take exception to children, who are perfectly capable of picking up their things and placing them where they belong. If they are not gently encouraged to do it the moment they start toddling around, when they should see it as a game, they are liable to grow up as messy and disorganized adults. I don’t know many spouses who are willing to deal with such an adult.
Kitties, on the other hand, do not have the dexterity for this operation, although Barmalei does bring his favorite toy to my couch as a loving gesture.
Sweet! Yes, your kid raising thoughts ring true to me.
Thank you, Doug. My grandfather said that kids’ behaviors need to be molded when they are still small enough to lie across the bed, not along the bed.
Exactly!
I just love his fur.
It’s about to get a “remodelling” – on the 5th, he has a grooming appointment.
Sometimes you feel like if you just leave things almost the way they were the one you miss may come back, even if only for a little bit.
In fact, each time I see the damage Dougy did to the ottoman, it’s like having him here. Of course, I have framed photos of both kitty boys where I can turn my head a little and see them in their boxes!
Andy uses the ottoman with its two ends . Perhaps this is his way to think of Dougy!

It may be. It would be nice to be able to understand what’s going on in their heads. My favorite story as a child was the Dr. Dolittle book because he could talk with the animals!
It does take a while after there has been a transition for the remaining cats to sort out their place. Glad to see Andy is feeling more comfortable investigating places that were once off limits.
Yes, I think he is a happier cat, actually. It makes me pleased to see him less a scaredy cat, too.
Andy looks like a totally zonked out kitty!
That he is, Leah!
Does Andy have a tall cat tree?
Yes, though I’d call it more a medium height from what I’ve seen in photos in other people’s homes.
we would love such a man named otto too :O)
I knew a woman whose last name was Otto, as is the last name of my financial advisor. I vaguely recall a guy named Otto in the 69th Signal Company (Photo) motor pool, when I was in the US Army in Germany. He was a huge man and he drove a Renault 4, which amused me at the time. Now, I’m big (fat) like him and drive a VW Golf Sportwagen, which is similar in appearance to some other callow uyouirth, perhaps!
