Loving the View

March 7, 2019 By: Summer Samba44 Comments

somali cat on China cabinet, looking out window and loving the view

At the moment, there are two China cabinets in the dining room and one is lying on its side by the windows. It makes an awesome perch to watch the goings on in the front yard! Sadly, we don’t get to keep it. It’s going away in a couple of days. My human saw me sitting on it, and couldn’t resist taking some photos.

somali cat still enjoying the view

In fact, she liked the lighting so much that after breakfast, she put me up there again for more photos with something better than the iPhone! Can you tell the difference in quality?

I have to admit, the overcast light coming in from the window was really flattering.

I’m loving the view. I’d better get in all the window watching I can while this cabinet is still here!

    Doesn’t it stink when humans get rid of stuff we love? That does make for a lovely perch. And we LOVE the last photo! It’s very flattering.

    These really are some terrific photos, Summer, especially that last one. We think maybe that cabinet should be replaced by a cat tree. XOCK, Kitties Blue

    If your human really loved you and that cabinet was leaving, she’d put something else there for you to sit on. Gorgeous in the last pic.

    Summer, we have moved many pieces of furniture around, not for the human’s enjoyment, but so our kitties can see out the windows! One excellent find was a tall plant stand, shaped like a Grecian column. There’s only room for one cat, but there is often a cat on that stand.

    Sad to hear you can’t keep the tipped over china cabinet. Sometimes humans just don’t understand the value of a good cat perch.

    Maybe that china cabinet will be kept right there on its
    side since it is good for you to sit on and look outside. Not!
    But it is good for birdie watching huh? You look good posing

    Those are really nice photos. Hmm, that might be a good place for a window perch. You’re a hard working kitty. You could use a perch.

    Maybe your human could put something else there to replace the cabinet so you can still sit there and enjoy the view.
