House and Cats


This is our family room with a fireplace and built in bookcases on both sides of the fireplace. We purchased matching recliner chairs for this room ("his" and "hers").


Surprisingly, the cats will sleep together on this chair...my chair. Until now, they did not sleep next to each other. I think the stress of the move, the cooler house temperature, and no couch makes them more willing to share space and warmth.


The family room windows have some strange blinds. Since the left half is a door that opens onto the deck, the shade on the right is not centered plus they do not cover the whole window. Which allows the cats to keep an eye on the backyard while the blind is "down". Each blind has 4 strings to open them....

because they are "decorative" when up. We inherited them from the previous owners. I hated them at first but I am adapting and they are growing on me. It's not in the budget to replace them any time soon so that is part of their "charm". :)

Grady absolutely loves the bay window and has claimed it as his. Lia will get up there once in a while but won't stay if Grady is there. I moved a kitty bed there and the first couple nights...and days...Grady was ALWAYS in the window. It is a bit drafty and colder now so he has opted for other places.

In front of the fireplace is a very warm alternative location.
