Monday’s pets on furniture – part 2

Posted on Mon, 10 Jan 2011 by KiM

If you’d like to send us photos to include in next week’s “pets on furniture” post, please ensure your photos follow our 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 (from a camera phone) then it may not make the cut. Thanks! (Photos, your name, location and a brief description can be sent to desiretoinspirekim[@]hotmail[.]com and PLEASE don’t send me closeups of your pet!)

This is our baby Gena and she is ready to take a nap on her favorite sofa.
– Rasa (Chicago, IL)

I send you a pic of Nala and Ulfi on my Ikea Lunna chair.
– Inma (Sevilla, Spain)

Georgie, in Flatiron manhattan on a daybed.
Georgie on a swivel club chair.
It’s Georgie again on his favorite vintage chair

This is where I regularly find Cheeko my Long Haired Chihuahua hiding. He thinks the comfiest spot in the house is on my bed or on top of Winston, our Cavalier King Charles on the couch!
– Clare (Australia)

Attached are 2 photos of my 10 month old rescue mutt, Lyman. I bought this set of vintage chairs and table a few years ago for $50 at a thrift shop in West LA. When I rescued Lyman over the summer, he immediately discovered them and enjoys hanging out here while I am working at my desk.
Rebecca

this is Samantha, our 1 year old Bernese Mountain dog. She knows she is not allowed on furniture but can’t seem to resist from time to time. I caught her napping on the yellow couch but she didn’t seem to have any regrets…
– Stacey (CT)

Here our little sister kittens Benek and Ufo. They are almost 4 months old now and literally ruling the house.
Benek and Ufo lying on top of their favorite armchairs in our living room. One armchair for each!
They love playing with our vintage wooden luggages on the porch. It’s such fun to watch them 🙂

– Ayse (Ankara, Turkey)

I got Cookie and Cupie as Valentine’s Day presents to myself 2 years ago. They have each claimed a chair in the living room and you better hope the dog (Sirius) doesn’t walk by either chair!
– Candice

This is Oscar, my Goldendoodle hanging out on his favorite plaid couch.
– Amy (Louisville, KY)

Within hours of the arrival of our new Womb chair our Mexican rescue dog Zoya had discovered her new favourite perch in the bedroom-even better if there is a human next to her!
– Karin (Vancouver)

My name is Zoe and I am 4 yrs. old. My breed is a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. I happen to be a Queen though. I hang out at European Antique Market (our store) with my Mom during the week. I’m very people-ized and have a knack for showing our clients how livable Country French furniture can be. My goal in life is to “Desire to Inspire” and mommy says I do.
– Zoe c/o Shawn (Louisville, Ky)

This is Pounce, hanging out on his favorite Platner chair.”
Ida (Paris)

Fatguts is not actually fat, he just acts like an overweight cat, maybe its all the hair. He is dopey, and clumsy, and he thinks this bed is his. He will quite happily sprawl across the whole bed, and look quite perturbed when he gets kicked off.
– Andrea (Murwillumbah, Australia)
  

1. Valentim, our 11-year old persian, sleeping in the new wood chair;
2. Mimi and the flowers…

Ivana (Brazil)

It is so hard to take photos of pets, especially my cat Kuzya. But he was practically posing for these.
– Nat (Ottawa)

Junebug’s New Years resolution is to sleep more and chase the farm animals less.
– Diane Harris (Gum Spring, Virginia)

Though I do not know where this retractable seat came from, it is large and comfortable, and it’s evident these two brothers- Max (Yorkie) and Sam (King Charles Spaniel) both love it.
Julia (Shanghai, China)

Mowi, 9 months old, in his favorite room
–  Ana (Alicante, Spain)

This is my friend’s dog Andy laying among some beachy throw pillows.  The photo was taken in my friend’s condo in Hermosa Beach.
Natalie

7 month old bullterrier puppy (Dardo) sitting on a vintage tulip chair. he loves to slip on chairs in strange positions. mostly he loves chairs and loves to sleep.
– Mali & Pablo (Buenos Aires)

Here is our cat, Miss Roxy, on the dining table staring at her image in a sang de boeuf vase.
– Christine (Vancouver, B.C.)

Wanted to submit a picture of Daisy the beagle, observing Christmas morning craziness! Daisy has been in our family for three years and is the perfect family pet!
– Michelle (Webb City, Missouri)

This is our cat Calista sitting in her favorite spot in the living room taking in some sun rays. Her second favorite spot in the winter: The vent on the floor 😀
– Wendy (Alexandria, VA)

Our Yula on her favourite chair.
– Magda (SW Ontario, Canada)

here is luna, our french bulldog, in brooklyn enjoying a breeze on the couch in the summer and cuddling up in the winter.”
– Liana

This red and cream checked wing chair is accented by Pumpkin, the six month-old Cardigan Welsh Corgi. She lives in El Cajon, California with her cousin, Darby, and her humans Glenn and Melissa. And just for fun here is a cute one of BOTH of my corgis that doesn’t meet your submission criteria, but is cute anyway.
– Melissa

Ektorp furniture is a dime a dozen I know, but I was trying to get a shot of my ‘ minimalist’ arrangement of branches with ‘Nest'(Tamar) inspired Dream Catcher and Banshee was determined to get in the shot.
Tamara

Our calico, Tak, and a chair I got off of craigslist. She stays up there most of the day.
– Tasha

This is my girl Lola, a Maltese/Yorshire Terrier mix relaxing on the sofa, well; on top of the sofa…
– Carol-Anne (Oakville, ON)

I snapped this shot of our 1 year old (female) Chihuahua Willie yesterday (Dec 29). Willie is short for Wilson; my partner has a mania for Republican presidents and named her after Ronald Wilson Reagan, however I think of Willie as short for Wilhelmina which is more ladylike. Willie is sitting on our newly upholstered Walter Knoll sofa (after 10 years in the same beige boucle we switched to an updated grey tweed). The pillows are new (just back from the upholsterer) and she knows better than to be touching them but the fuchsia velvet is oh so soft.”
– Jeff (Boston, MA)

Our rescue dog Cullie in the big comfy chair in our bedroom – his favorite place in the house.  Unfortunately for Cullie, the old shades have been removed and we’re still waiting for the new ones, so his morning nap was interrupted by the bright sun coming in!
– Betsy (Nashville, TN)

Here is our cat Mary, sitting on a vintage Paul McCobb chair. The topiary was made by my daughter, Sasha.
Our cat Mabel loves to lie on our radiator. Are radiators furniture? Ours are old Victorian ones that are actually quite decorative, so I think they count
.”
– Jennifer (Toronto)

This is our little one, Hopscotch, better known as Scotch snoozing on our plycraft lounger. We live in a Baltimore Rowhome, with windows only on the front and back of the house. Scotch loves to lay anywhere where the sun hits her, but this chair has quickly become her favorite spot.
– Marcella (Baltimore, MD)

This is Franklin getting cozy on our couch.
– Barbara (Chicago, IL)

I bought this breakfast table and chairs at Elan Collection vintage furniture shop in downtown Long Beach, California. Mao the teenage mutant ninja cat swears the original upholstery of the green chairs sharpen her claws far better than her cat tree so she visits the table constantly… But on the morning of her first Christmas she awoke to find a holiday tree with reflective dangly shiny things. She guarded it with her life for it was the most amazing thing she had ever seen..
– Tatiana

This is my rescue cat Jake Sully, as you can see he has had a hard time adjusting in his new home. Later the same day I found him in my dresser drawer, I went to fold laundry and low and behold look who I found.
– Gina (Portland, OR)

Here is a photo of my cat, baba, doing what he does best, being weird but awfully cute…inside a drawer

this is indiana, our 13wk old vizsla pup.  he has obviously made himself quite comfortable in the 3 wks we have had him home.
– Anne

The first one is of my cat Trooper who loves that old chair, it’s upholstery is a thick, scratchy wool of some sort, all the cats love to roll all over it.
The next picture is of my Great Dane, Olive. She likes to curl up on chairs that are way too small.
And the last one is of Olive and Merlin, lounging in the sun on my Ikea Karlstad couch

This is Simba, he’s a very lazy Shiba-Inu who frequents this chair in the living room. He always looks very contemplative while on it.
– Jon (New Jersey)

Copper is my sweet pitty who, as you can see from the first photo, was NOT supposed to be on my Old Hickory Tannery sofa.
– Traci

Pietra on the poof
– Luciana

This is Millie from Los Angeles Ca.  I think she has given a new meaning to ‘Pets on Furniture’.  She did not seem to mind that I had busted her on my Japanese chest!
