It has been a while since my last “Monday’s pets on furniture” mail and I would love to introduce you to my new balcony (in Berlin), my pets’ favorite chair and my mini zoo. My zoo’s members are Clooney, the puggle, Kinski, a blue mink tonkinese cat, Page, my Spanish rescue cat and my current Spanish foster dog Coco. (He’s my fourth foster and it’s so much fun to introduce them to a life outside a cage.) They’re all such posers!

Attached is another picture of my cat Gary (10) doing what he does best…lazing.. on my Rob Parry chair.
– Nicola (NZ)

Attached is a pic of our large Boxer “Bill” completely sacked out across the divide of the chair and ottoman.
– Tony (Portland, Oregon) 

Mazzy is a 1 year old stray who showed up mid-May and had 6 kittens two and a half weeks later. She is on the bed watching over her 4 week old brood. 
– Lisa (Fort Worth, Texas)

I grabbed my camera last night while getting this post ready so I could participate too. Here is what I managed to snap: Mimin presiding over the sofa, Felix doing some bird watching and former feral Bernie hanging out under the vintage tulip dining chairs instead of on them. 

It’s back this week! This feature only happens when I have enough entries (that aren’t mine) so please keep sending submissions!

Below are a couple pics of Sandy, our ancient Italian greyhound on our sofa in Austin, TX. 
– JB

Goofy who has recently found, after being in this house for almost 2 years, that if he moves the cushion on the chair he has a more comfortable spot. He has also started knocking the cushion completely off and sitting in the chair too.
– Amber (Maumelle, AR)

Attached 2 foto’s of our aged cats (siblings): Larissa taken on her favourite strategic spot LC 4 Corbusier overlooking the living room but…..  orange/white Daan hidden behind B&B Italia Solo and Patricia Urquiola’s Fat Lady “ready to take-over”…. 
– Linda (Amsterdam) 

This is my beautiful little girl Amy (5mth old Samoyed/Husky cross) – she isn’t allowed on the regular furniture much (if at all) – but sometimes we catch her snuggling up on this particular chair to watch TV! (she especially loves Dora the Explorer and Escape to the Country (UK version).
– Sue K (Australia)

My younger sister’s 2 cats Minnie and Carl. Both rescues and living out their lives in luxury. And surrounded by some pretty funky furniture. 

And some from me. Where a couple of chairs and the guest bed have become favourite hangouts. 1 – Mimin loves my Green Light District leather lounge chair (covered in Homesense sheepskin). 2 – So does Phoebe. 3 – Lucky is a fan of the vintage Plycraft chair (from Wiseman + Cromwell). 4 – (Former) feral brothers Bernie and Frankie lounging on the guest bed covered in a wool rug I brought back from my last trip to Puerto Vallarta. 5 – Felix enjoying the same bed but prefers the pillows for added comfort.

2 – Daisy takes a respite between chapters of Erin Gates book, ‘Elements of Style’ under the table I made out of Hawaiian Sugi pine wood and hand painted legs
3 – I am not kidding: I ordered my couch to match my cat. Less visible hair. 
4 – Daisy deciding whether she prefers West Elm’s pillows to Z Gallerie pillows, instead of her usual teal bamboo blanket above
5 – Bear and Daisy relaxing on their coastal inspired deck
– Liz (Kamuela, Hawaii)

Eli is a Beagle Spaniel cross now 5 months old, these pics were taken a few weeks ago. He’s posing on our comfy leather sofa, and on our bar stool.
– Judy (Red Deer, Alberta) 

A couple of random ones from me. It’s been chaos in my house for the past 5 weeks or so with lots of decorating projects so I have been slacking on trying to capture my cat herd on furniture. I found the following on my phone:
1 – 3 of the little monsters (Lucky, former feral Frankie, Felix) are curled up together on our king-size bed while the rest of the bed was unoccupied
2 – While Lucky isn’t technically on furniture, I really like this shot of him on a sheepskin in the home-office side of the living room.

I’m starting today’s post with an entry from one of my sisters. Carl is the most beautiful cat I have ever seen and he is super sweet and loveable. And super photogenic. Here are a couple photos of him hanging out in Jen’s living room.

please find attached photo of our friend’s Ivana dog – elegant Fred posing on their renovated vintage armchair.
– Maria (Prague)

Here is my dog Freddie, a wire fox terrier rescue, on vacation in Key West, Florida, last fall. He tossed the pillow off the chair (you can see it on the floor) and then made himself quite comfortable. 
– Heather (Port Saint Lucie, Florida)

A big thanks to Wanda for sending me this photo the other day of the darling Desi, who I rescued a few years ago when my next door neighbour was dying of cancer and his family took all his cats to the Humane Society (where I imagine they met their fate) and Wanda then adopted from me. 

My herd absolutely adores my new Furniture Maison sectional sofa.

Here is Felix and his little shadow, Frankie (not so feral anymore) relaxing in the foyer on my leather Eames shell chair. (The flooring in there has since been redone – pics to come when all of the major work is done in a couple of weeks! If you follow me on Instagram there are some serious sneak peeks)

Bernie, also not so feral anymore, snoozing on my gorgeous Magnet lounge chair from Green Light District.
