Monday's pets on furniture

If you'd like to send us photos to include in next week's "pets on furniture" post, please ensure your photos follow our basic rules: First, the pet must be on a piece of furniture. And said piece of furniture must be clearly visible in the photo, so it takes center stage rather than your pet. Think of it more of a photo of a great piece of furniture that you want to show off...and your pet happens to be sitting on it. And second, the photo must be of decent quality. If it's dark or fuzzy (from a camera phone) then it may not make the cut. Thanks! (Photos, your name, location and a brief description can be sent to desiretoinspirekim@hotmail.com and PLEASE don't send closeups of your pet!)

The first is of my cat, Ruby, on our mid-century inspired sofa.  The second is of our big girl, Asparagus, on a chair just nabbed up at the flea market last weekend that is taking a turn with that black and white pillow.  This is pretty much what they do all-day-long.  Ahh, the life of a cat.

This is my little sweetheart Kaipo relaxing on my favorite reading chair from Anthropologie.

This is Bernie. He likes to jump up onto furniture and hang out. Whenever I walk into the room, I often find him sitting up on a chair, sofa or bed. I think he likes the higher vantage point. He also likes checking himself out in the mirror.

Scout, enjoying the front yard in Sydney's Inner West. This is how a Federation house should be enjoyed... Ikea provided the chair.

This is my Boston Terrier pup, Suge, on my favorite chair. The yellow armchair is my favorite in the house - an unidentifiable leftover prop from a TV shoot last year. Suge is our energetic 6-month old Boston. I would say he loves sitting in the chair, but I think he's more into the height it gives him for toy hunting.

This is a "stranger" enjoying sun on my wicker chair.

Ollie, our 1year old yorkie, loves to take a nap on the couch...he also loves to hide from you behind the pillows.
- Erica (Honolulu, HI)

Just wanted to pass along a photo of my new adopted dog Kitty at our home in NYC. She is a 2 year old Maltese with lots of spunk!

Normally the pink throw is Lilly's favorite spot to be but she also likes to curl up next to the pillows on my bed. It's hard to resist a power nap when I see her laying around like that.

Please see 2 pictures of my cat Aalto sitting on a mid century modern credenza. And in one of the photos you can see Aalto sitting next to an Alvar Aalto vase. I named her after Alvar Aalto who is a favorite architect of mine.

(Here are) pics of our vizsla Beatrice Bella who has her very own Brizvegas urban dog blog here.  As you can see from the following link she loves furniture!
- Gem

This chair was originally stained a dark ugly brown, and (unsurprisingly) it was buried in my parents' basement for more than 30 years. Recently, though, I decided that my dining room needed a blue chair, so I painted it, distressed it, and brought it home for my cat, Roxie. Now she can sit and watch the squirrels in style!
- Andrea (Glen Ellyn, IL)

This chair is a vintage find with a new paint job that Sophie just adores.

Meet my 2 year old chihuahua "Conrad" resting on his favorite furniture after a busy day doing nothing.

A perfect dog. French buldog named Cukrus (EN "sugar").
- Evelina

This is our schweenie, Charles Augustus.  He's sitting a 1960's chair that belonged to my grandmother. Believe it or not, it is a pull out that turns into the world's most uncomfortable twin sized bed.  As a chair though, it's great and is one of Charlie's favourite places to chill.
- Kyle (Hamilton, Ontario)

This is Mitchell's favorite chair. From Day 1, he has claimed it as his own.
- Stacy (Pittsburgh)

Here is Bieb chilling on our lounge sofa....

1 - Worked so hard to get the baby's nursery just right, Peepers claims her spot on the modern changing table.
2 - Our new, comfortable accent chair in our living room. So comfy, even Mango squeezes himself onto it.

Here's Cargo on a leather recliner at my aunt and uncle's house in Moorseville, NC.

Here is my baby Bambi, a rescue pup we think is part dachshund part beagle, lying on the gold couch I inherited from my grandmother with her favorite blankie (from TJ Maxx).

A friend discovered this vintage chair  at a tag sale for $12.00, so we brought it home and put it in my studio, and it immediately became the possession of Sushi, the Norwich Terrier.
