Displaying posts labeled "Pets on Furniture"

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 and a brief description can be sent to desiretoinspirekim[@]hotmail[.]com and PLEASE don’t send me closeups of your pet!)

“Hi, my name is Ana Ferraz, I’m from Brazil and this lovely pet is Bijou, one of my four adopted cats. She is a delicate white princess, an angel with blue vivid eyes. She is so beautiful (I’m a proud mother…rs) that I consider her a essential part of the decoration.”

“Is this furniture??? The Kitty thinks so. She likes to perch here and look out at the garden…… when she’s not lounging on my floor cushions…. or trying to blend into the sofa. It’s a rustic hand carved bench from Bali. Too big for my house really, but I can’t part with it….or the cat! — We found “Kitty” when she was just a kitten. She’s deaf and was stranded on our roof after a typhoon. She’s 10 years old now and fat!”

“This siamese kitty is Gros Garcon, aka GG. He is a very kind and laid back fellow who came into my life about 2 years ago, while I was fostering for an animal shelter. He met and befriended his best buddy Petite Fille, aka Mimi, while residing at the shelter, and their relationship was just too sweet for them to part ways when the time came for a permanent home — so I took them both in. They are absolutely adorable and make for great additions to my family.”

“While Mario the cat (named for Mario Batali due to his both coloring, his rock n roll ‘tude and his gourmet tastes) isn’t technically on people furniture, I thought the fact that he had confiscated Shiloh’s dog bed still counts. After all, it’s a pet on a (pet’s) piece of furniture!”

We’ve got Milo on my old dining table, Phoebe on an African camping chair a friend gave me, a plethora of cats scattered about my office, and Edgar asleep on the Ikea-hacked baby changetable.

“This is my 4 year old blue heller, lab ,border collie mis Felix. The first picture is of him as a pup on our sectional couch which we have since replaced.  We just couldn’t get rid of his couch so we kept the ends and made a love seat for Felix. As you can see Felix is allowed on all of our furniture. He loves being tucked in under the blankets. As far as he is concerned he IS people and don’t you dare tell him otherwise. If you try he will give you the dirtiest look he’s got.”

“Attached is a photo of my beautiful rescue cat, Nino Pazzo, sleeping in his favorite spot on my favorite vintage find, a Platner chair. He gets direct sun in that chair all morning and soaks up as much of it as he can. Check out his paw reaching for the last bit of sunlight. What a life!”

“I have 5 dogs and 2 cats and trillions of pictures of them on furniture since they are allowed everywhere in the house yet I never thought about sending them until today.This is Michuca, very very sadly she is in hospital right now instead of in my lap because she is very sick at the moment. She is a 10yr old (we believe…)mixed breed cutie. I got her from the humane society 4 years ago and hopefully will be at my side for much much longer.Loves my bed, the couch and anything soft and comfy….if this makes it to the cut I’d like to ask people to send her positive thoughts since her tiny heart is having some trouble and she needs all the positivity and love she can get!”
