The How and Why of It!

My son plays with his girlfriend’s kitty cats. She and her mother have a total of six. Mittens, the Ragdoll on the top of the ottoman, enjoys warming up in front of the fireplace. Nova, the youngest member of the family, is extremely playful. All the pulls on the ottoman are from her. If you look beneath it, you will understand how and why.

Oh they are so adorable - and I did catch Nova down below

. When my MIL had the house, her cats (actually her neighbor's cats

) scratched the heck out of their antique furniture!

Even one young boy can do it too - our couch is his trampoline

I agree. Doodles and his sister used them and them only. They were perfect kitties.

@DianneN I am sure that I would crawl under the ottoman to play with the cat.

No new furniture for a real long time, I’m sure. Doodles was meticulous.

She still has the kitty in her. All she does is run around and play, then falls asleep instantly wherever she happens to be. These kitties have helped my son get over Kuma and Doodles a lot more quickly than not.

@May2k8 They love that! They also like sticks with feathers on them and sticks that you wiggle under a carpet or paper.

I was going to say that the one hiding underneath is cute doing that. The picture taken must be between the fireplace and the ottoman. It's hard not to get involved with cats especially when they're more personable. My daughter has two one being more questionable. Neither come upstairs much when we visit but that may also be because there's a dog upstairs. And the more personable cat antagonizes the dog.

Thanks! Yes, my son rolls the ottoman closer to the fireplace when he visits. Animals can antagonize each other. They seem to know who to bother and who to stay far away from.
