The Best Seat in the House

Just look at this guy, Smooch is his name, doesn't he look happy in his land of dreams on his Daddy's chair? But he knows how to get what he wants. And what he wants is the best seat in the house. We're supposed to know which that is at any given time and that can turn into quite a game. I have a fridge magnet that says, 'If you want the best seat in the house you'll have to move the cat.' I swear Smooch put that one up. Last night we had dinner guests. Smooch wasn't at all pleased. Lately he's been sleeping on one of the chairs pushed in under the table, away from prying eyes. Someone else was sitting on his chair last night, and he wasn't happy. He sat there next to the intruder, glaring at him, giving him the evil eye. Poor Smooch, we all laughed, which didn't help his dignity at all. He eventually gave up and wandered off to find another spot. Do you have little furry friends who know the best seat in the house when they see it?

Thank you Val, I always check your profile to see if I have missed something and from the title I knew you were talking about Smooch.

@LadyDuck now that I've made this my new home and settled here I'm sure you'll read more of Smooch. He weathered our winter well and is already responding to Spring.

Our furry housemates live in cages, and I hate it when they are on the chairs, because that's when they decide to poop.

Yes, but yours are not cats are they :-) Smooch would not like living in a cage at all. And, if yours were loose here, hmmm, well, Smooch loves little critters that move.

Diesel Dog always sleeps on the lounge inside and when we have visitors they actually sleep on that lounge. Diesel Dog is rather bemused and even when they make up a bed next to the lounge he is still not very sure.

I admit, I just giggled. I could totally see that haughty cat stare, and then the stalk off like, I didn't want it anyways! loL!!!! and yes, the dog ends up taking his half out of the middle of the bed, the wrong direction! Somehow.

Nice to see you here! I'm not on here a geat deal at the moment, book writing commitments. Smooch is great, getting older, more inclined to look for a lap to curl up on inside.

Aw someone took his spot the poor dear. Glad he is comfy now. Nope no little furries here due to fees. Sad really, I would like them.

Dear Smooch considers that at his age he demands respect when it comes to first choice. Sad fees prohibit you from having a cat

My lovely virtual furry friend Smooch is too cute. Willy (the cat of the neighbor) has learned at which time to sneak inside and rest on the kitchen carpet, he can listen the steps of my husband when he comes down for breakfast.
