My New Birthday Gift

October 3, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat41 Comments

Do I look like the ChairCat of the Board?

I love that human birthday custom — they celebrate by getting gifts for us cats. My human’s boyfriend’s birthday was Friday, and she got us this very cool chair. It is plush and comfortable and great for napping. We love it! Unfortunately, her boyfriend does not get it. He thinks the chair is for his sole use and he is trying to keep us out of his office so we can’t get our fur on it! We are perfectly willing to let him use this chair now and then, so I don’t understand why he is being so selfish.

I bet I could guess his password if I tried!

Sometimes he forgets to shut the door to his room all the way so we get in anyhow. I really should punish him for his attitude by sneaking into his eBay account and ordering a bunch of cat toys.

Yes, this chair is also good for baths.

Since his office doubles as a music room, Binga thinks this chair is a good place to play the cello.

If she won't let me on it, she certainly won't let HIM sit there!

She will let my human’s boyfriend know when she is done with the chair. But she is going to take her time.

    I think human’s must learn to share. You cats and us dogs like too share our fur with them so they can always think of us in case we are not around. Also considering the computer is there, you need the chair too…how else can you jump up and start tapping on the key board?

    Awesome chair! One day he’ll figure it all out…in the meantime, you totally need to go on his eBay account and buy a buncha stuff! I like to do that, but with Amazon…

    What does a human need a chair for anyway? They only use it some of the time…leaving the majority of the time totally wasted unless us kitties can put it to good use. I think our mom and dad are trained now to understand that everything in the house is ours…but we’re REALLY good at sharing.

    What the Humans fail to understand is this: Food? Kitty’s. Couch? Kitty’s. Bed? Kitty’s. Box? Kitty’s. Chair? Kitty’s.

    Well, they should get the picture, right? If not, it’s our obligation to teach them this lesson again, and again, and again, and again, and again.

    And again.

    If it’s in YOUR house, it’s YOUR chair. What part of that doesn’t the boyfriend understand? Maybe you should spell it out with your claws.

    Goodness, you leave a little fur on his chair as a birthday present and he doesn’t appreciate it. You and Binga look marvelous on your chair.

    I say the boyfriend is just jealous of your new gift. You should cut him a little slack and maybe he’ll log on to his ebay account and buy you some toys to distract you from the chair he apparently covets so much.. 🙂

    Why do they always think they can keep us off of stuff. If you get a piece of furniture, it must be christened by the kitties. It isn’t part of the home unless it is covered in cat fur. I would say hacking into his ebay account is just the tip of the iceberg. Ever try throwing up in his shoe? That’s a great way of putting humans into their place.

    We like YOUR new chair too, Sparkle! Well, we see you’re taking turns. How the human’s bf could think it was his is beyond our comprehension. Doesn’t he know *anything* about cats?

    Oh we think that chair should definitely be yours and your sister’s chair. Maybe he needs another chair. Love Binga playing the cello. That is just right. And she was clean to do it too.
    Have a fun day.

    Pffft – how dare the boyfriend not let you use your own chair. Maybe you should lock him out of his room. Better yet, take the chair and move it to another room.
