If you’d like to send me photos to include in next week’s “pets on furniture” post, please ensure your photos follow my basic rules: First, the pet must be on a piece of furniture. And said piece of furniture must be clearly visible in the photo, so it takes center stage rather than your pet. Think of it more of a photo of a great piece of furniture that you want to show off…and your pet happens to be sitting on it. And second, the photo must be of decent quality. If it’s dark or fuzzy then it may not make the cut. Photos, your name, location and a brief description can be sent to desiretoinspirekim@hotmail.comand PLEASE don’t send closeups of your pet! Thanks!

Matilda pretty much owns the furniture in the house, as you can see in the pic.

Not sure this counts as furniture but Button and Murphy are obsessed with this Ikea stool!

Since getting the black cat 2013 poster and placed it on top of my dresser for good, my cat “Velcro” often sits for long periods of time right next to it – something she didn’t use to do before. Talk about life imitates cat art.

Our cat Bella likes to stake her claim to the best seat in the house. New furniture? No problem! Bella likes to keep it fresh. Here she is establishing herself in one of our just-delivered Precedent wing chairs (upholstered in fabric from Vanguard).

This is our dog Luna. She lays her head on the back of the couch and stares longingly out the window. (She also stores her toys in the windowsill, as you can see.) 🙂
