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.comand PLEASE don’t send me closeups of your pet!)

“Here’s BooBoo, my cat in my old living room on her favorite spot.”
– Yvonne (Lommel, Belgium)

“Layla enjoys laying on the couch and watching people walk past (and long walks on the beach and sunset picnics).”
– Caity (Pittsburgh, PA)

“This is my dog Elvis helping me with my mornings work”
– Mandy

“I’ve attached three pics. Two of our cat Ferris, who is a 6 year old Maine Coon. He’s ginormous- we call him Gigante or Lion. He loves to sit near you, but not with you. Hence why he loves to sit on our coffee table in the living room. Huck Finn, our six year old mutt dog, loves to sit any where comfortable- usually between my husband and I. The last two pics are from when I was taking pictures of our new bedding, Ferris came and sat on the bed looking like the huge lion he is. The last picture is of Huck showing off his Molly Mutt bed. He loves it, but he was being a bit shy in front of the camera.”
– Karen and Jeremy (San Francisco)

“Here’s a photo of our two dogs, Fran (with the ears) and Lucy (the gorgeous blonde) – who love to lounge on our leather ottoman in our front room which faces the street. We call it The Throne.”
– Tracey (Denver, CO)

“I’ve enclosed a picture of our cat, Leon, sitting in his favorite spot, the windowseat in our sunroom, on this little carpet with cats on it. We’ve had a great summer in Boston so he’s spent most of his afternoons right there. He likes to look out the window and wait for his friend, another cat next door, to sit in her window, and then they look at each other for awhile. It’s so cute.”
– Elizabeth

“Our four-legged, fluffy child, Sadie, thinks our living room couch is in fact hers. If you try and sit down while she’s stretched out, she won’t move an inch to accommodate you.”
– Beth (Santa Monica, CA)
  

“This is my lovely pup Remy relaxing on my vintage chair.”
– Jessica (Denton, TX)

“Here are my two fellas. The first is of Mr. Kitty sitting on a quilt that my great-grandmother made, next to my grandparents’ drum table, and below an enlarged copy of an envelope that my grandfather sent my grandmother during WWII. The second incudes Smokey Joe. I guess he felt left out after he saw me snapping away at Mr. Kitty.”
– Celia (Tennessee)
  

“I had already the great happiness to see a picture of one of my cats, Bijou, in the site, along with other wonderful pets. It was really great! This time I send you the younguest of my four beauties: Chico. I adopted him in december, 2009. Hes like a brazilian hurricane….rs… Since his arrival, everything turned upside down! He loves to climb (and sometimes destroy…) the furniture and there is no place that Chico can’t reach. Here, we see him in a rare moment of rest, on the top of a small provencal table, leaned on a tin white lantern that I like very much.”
– Ana

“this is my friend Sheila’s cat, relaxing on a nice expensive leather couch!”
– Mark

“Mouse says ‘Yes, this great big chair is just about the right size for me!’ You can see the other cat in the back ground – Mouse won’t share that huge chair with her!! She is a bit naughty and possessive, lucky Mischa is such an obligingly delightful ‘sister’. They are only 6 months old.”
– Ingrid

“As I realized that you have this weekly contest about nice pets on furniture I thought I should grab my chance and send you a pic of my dog Cesi (orginally Cesar, a Pekingese crossbreed) sitting on my IKEA Klippan couch given to me by my boss…”
– Linda (Germany)

“Gato (cat) ‘Fuscas’. He is asleep. It is a very hot summer day.”
– Giselda (Funchal, Madeira, Portugal)

– Ivana and Sanil

“This is my dog Zoey on my hand-made Danish modern chair.”
– Jenn (St. Louis, Missouri)

“Here are some pictures of my cats Nugget and Nelly enjoying their favourite couch, a linen-blend sectional from Structube. Nelly likes to prop herself next to me when i’m reading on the couch. Nugget on the other hand is quite possibly the laziest lounging cat ever. It’s also purely coincidental that they are perfectly coordinated with the couch and pillow colour-scheme. 🙂”
– Steph (Ottawa)

“I love your monday posts, so here is a photo of our family pet cherry shrimps. We like those little creatures so much, that we even brought them along on the plane when we moved to France. The cupboard belongs to our french landlady, they are really keen on their family furniture, so when it was seized and auctioned off during WWII by nazis, they went to Germany to fetch it back immediately after the war ended =)”
– Liaissan (Orsay, France)

“In the picture is my six year-old maine-coon mix Hendrix (better known as Drix) lounging in the summer sun.  Behind him is the culprit for his sleepiness, a pot of live catnip. Next to him is a knockoff of a Design Within Reach Sapien Bookcase (clearly unorganized!). He spends most sunny days in this corner, tanning himself and knocking books off the shelf (yes, those against the wall were “placed” there by him).”
– Pamala (San Diego, CA)

“I send you a picture of my old and little yorkshire dog Nouchka assorted to the colours of cushions on my sofa, gold and black.”

– Jenny (Toronto)

”This is Troy, he’s two years old and throughout his life we have bought 3 dog beds, that have ended up being bitten and broken by him, I guess he just wants to tell us that he is more comfortable in our furniture. We bought this pair of chairs in a rage of madness, are made of leather and were a bit expensive, but have been worth every penny because our friends like them and feel comfortable in them”
– Teresa (Guadalajara, Mexico)

“Our cats, Six and Buster, are brothers – they love sleeping next to (or on top of) each other on whatever soft surface they can find (bed, blanket, couch, lap).  Here they are curled up on our living room armchair, which goes well with the rusty orange color of their fur!”
– Megan

Our littlest one is our 4 month old Shepherd-Shelty mix Heidi, “The Baroness” and our oldest is our 2 year old Shepherd-Collie mix Mina. They’re lounging on our outdated black leather couch that will soon be replaced with something wonderful, we just don’t know what that is yet 🙂”

“So I know I’ve all ready sent you a picture of chip that you posted, which was soooooooooo cool btw, thank you! But I can’t control myself because my dog is too freaking cute! He actually had no interest in sitting in the diamond chair until we put down the sheep skin, which he apparently thought was just for him! I mean, look how happy he is!!”
– Curt

“Here are our two cats, Marlowe and Cassius, taking up the most regal seats in the house: two carved Chinese rosewood chairs.  I’ve included a close up with Cassius on one of the chairs, ready to receive his humble subjects 🙂”
– JanJan (SF Bay Area)

“Meet Cookie, my little mystery mutt. I adopted her a year ago and she’s the best companion a girl could have. Here she is on one of my David Rowland chairs, which I inherited from my grandfather’s old law office. I got the table for five bucks at a garage sale and painted it white myself. I inherited the Russel Wright pottery on the shelves from my grandmother. Here’s Cookie playing on my bed. The bedding is by DwellStudio for Target, which was a great buy. Since the bedding is patterned and textured, her stray black and white hairs practically blend in! The embroidered piece on the wall is by my friend Jordan of http://hidethegoodscissors.blogspot.com. Lastly, here’s Cookie lounging on the couch. She loves sleeping on the headrest (and pouncing on the back of my head when she wants attention). I’m indefinitely “borrowing” the couch from a friend. It’s a far cry from my dream couch, but it serves its purpose. My grandmother made the needle point pillows and my great aunt crocheted the white blanket.”
– Kathryne

“1) I think Mickey knows he’s gorgeous, he is always up for a photo shoot.

– Danielle

– Leah

“This is Minx, my adorable Manx cat as a kitten. I was having my house treated by the pest control guys one day and couldn’t leave her at home while it was being done so I took her to my mothers. We made sure to keep the doors closed so she couldn’t lost. At one stage we could not find her anywhere! We searched high and low… and finally found her snoozing on one of the bookcases in the lounge. And to this day she still finds weird places to sleep. Her current favourite is my dressing table.”
– Kate (New Zealand)

“This is our four-year-old Shih-Tzu, Ellie, who rules at our house. Here she is enjoying our custom-designed charcoal velvet sofa. After adjusting her blanket to her liking, she struck a pose saying (undoubtedly with attitude) ‘This is my sofa–I dare you to tell me otherwise!‘”
– Katie (Columbia, SC)

“This is my Labrador who’s named Marron. He is sitting on the copy of “Mae West Lips Sofa” by Dali. We chose these colors for the padding because they fit better with the atmosphere of the room.”
– Marysia Chodzen (Warsaw, Poland)

I adopted her seven months ago, and she just recently discovered this new perch, in what I now call her Watching Chair (old cheap club chair, Pottery Barn slip cover), where she monitors the goings-on outside my window. In the second photo she is on my new Room & Board sofa contemplating my laptop, which she wishes I would move, as this sofa has quickly become her favorite. spot. ever.”

“This is Muchacho, my black mixed labrador. Muchacho is sitting on an armchair which I inherited from my grandparents. Its cushions were at a really bad condition but I could see its potential so I painted it, chose a new fabric and padded it. Both Mucahcho and I are very pleased with the result! I added a “before” picture of the 2-seater sofa (sorry but I didn’t take a “before” picture of the actual armchair Muchacho is sitting on) so you can see the difference.”
– Tammy (Tel Aviv, Israel)

– Maria

“This is Gus — full name Gussie Buddy Lovie — the love of our lives. He’s a three year old brown tabby who lives in Sleepy Hollow, New York. As you can tell, he’s very handsome, and he’s inspired the decor in our (Rebecca Goldberg + John Mato’s) home. Pictured here, we have a vintage trunk and movie theater chairs in front of a Lolita movie poster. Gus likes that we have furniture with character.”
– Rebecca, John + Gus (New York)
