Displaying posts labeled "Pets on Furniture"

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, if the photo is too dark or unfocused 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!

May I introduce to you, Randy. As you can see in this picture, Randy is a very content cat. This reads, “Life is good”.

Boots (black and white tuxedo) and TomTom (grey and white tuxedo) sleeping admist the winter scarves pulled out to sort on the bed. The chair in the corner is an old family piece I reupholstered. The wood got painted because it was in such bad shape.
Boots was a shelter cat and TomTom a stray who when returned to his owners kept returning to our house. He adopted us or more likely our 2 female cats were the attraction.

I love all the pet pics you put out there, so I decided to send my a picture of my baby Shih tzu, Lexie, seated at a Seagrass Wingback Armchair.
– Jacqueline (Birmingham, Alabama)

Attached please find my 2 rescue cats. We have been living together since May 2007. They are snuggled in their favorite chair (formerly my favorite chair.) Note the claw marks on the legs. The grey cat destroys it when I ignore him or am not at home. Ce la vie.

This is Luke Skywalker, a 3 years old adopted cat. Personally, I think It’s my best decoration furniture <3

I fell in love with this vintage orange velvet chair by Jens Risom when I found it on ebay some years ago. I also love this shiba inu, Griffin, a rescue who shares my design taste. On a snowy day like today he alternates between dozing there by the fire and watching for squirrels out the window.

Attached is pic of the Fonz on the Walter S. Chenery chair, one of me fav’s.

I was thrilled when I found this Buying & Design chair on the street in perfect condition. My cat, Tulip, was also thrilled, as it brings out the color of her eyes quite well.
– Wendy (Brooklyn, NY)

This friendly stray cat wanted to be adopted. Every day, she quietly entered our shop and settled on the main window display furniture, hoping to pass unnoticed. For this reason rarely did she move, up until the closing time when we had to take her out, to her disappointment, but with a small treat. She did eventually win our hearts:-) and the heart of a passing neighbour, who saw her through the window and decided to offer her a home.
– Christianna & Poppy

This is Temperance, our foster failure, announcing her Sofa Princess status. Defiance or not- we couldn’t bring ourselves to say goodbye to those ears!

here are two shots of my silver tabby linus. i inherited the mid century teak chairs from my grandmother (who was ahead of her time) and they were made in italy. one shot is the chair on the original striped fabric, the cat wore through the fabric so I reupholstered it chartreuse knoll fabric.

I’m sending you two pics of my girls’ room with a nice dresser with our cat Boo in it. Boo is a true survivor: He always manages to find somewhere to sleep even though my youngest girl keeps tracking him down and waking him up. His sense of creativity in finding new beds is amazing. Today, he pretended to be a toy cat in their playroom. Didn’t really work.

I love your monday post and can finally contribute with a photo of Sally our foster greyhound. She is camouflage on our chesterfield (found in the street).

This is our bulldog Finley, who is always dissatisfied with our decor decisions.

this is buffy, my papillon sitting on 1 of my newly covered velvet chairs. the chairs are antique. the velvet I hand painted 20 years ago when I was studying textile design. finally got around to using it!
– Fiona (Victoria, BC)

This is Alf my cat who knows he is not allowed on my lovely armchairs. Today I made an exception as, despite appearances, he is very stressed due to builders doing some work on our house.

My three westies crashed out on my sectional sofa. They are convinced it is a giant dog bed. The second photo I put pirate hats on them for Halloween. I had about 10 seconds to take the photo before they shook the hats off. Victor is one the left, Dennis in the center, and Millie on the right. They are sitting on my favorite apple green, pebbled leather wing chair.

Here is a picture of my brother’s cat Larry (left) and my cat Agyness (right). Larry is sitting on a beautiful wing chair inherited from my grandparents – it needs some definite attention (mainly the arms – thank you, cats) and luckily there’s loads of extra fabric underneath the cushion. Larry was over for a week-long visit and this was their first time meeting.
In the first shot, I think it looks as though they’re both sitting for a formal portrait. In the second shot, Larry notices there’s a lurker nearby and Agyness somehow manages to keep her balance in a compromising position. Such drama.

More like pet in furniture. This is our dachshund Paavo who sometimes likes to show he doesn’t agree with us.

I’m sending you picture of my cats – both adopted – Romeo (ginger & white) from Spca, Auckland and Musya from Rspca, Melbourne.
