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.v(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 me closeups of your pet!)

"Here's BooBoo, my cat in my old living room on her favorite spot."
- Yvonne (Lommel, Belgium)

"Layla enjoys laying on the couch and watching people walk past (and long walks on the beach and sunset picnics)."
- Caity (Pittsburgh, PA)

"This is my dog Elvis helping me with my mornings work"
- Mandy

"I've attached three pics. Two of our cat Ferris, who is a 6 year old Maine Coon. He's ginormous- we call him Gigante or Lion. He loves to sit near you, but not with you. Hence why he loves to sit on our coffee table in the living room. Huck Finn, our six year old mutt dog, loves to sit any where comfortable- usually between my husband and I. The last two pics are from when I was taking pictures of our new bedding, Ferris came and sat on the bed looking like the huge lion he is. The last picture is of Huck showing off his Molly Mutt bed. He loves it, but he was being a bit shy in front of the camera."
- Karen and Jeremy (San Francisco)

"Here's a photo of our two dogs, Fran (with the ears) and Lucy (the gorgeous blonde) - who love to lounge on our leather ottoman in our front room which faces the street. We call it The Throne."
- Tracey (Denver, CO)

"I've enclosed a picture of our cat, Leon, sitting in his favorite spot, the windowseat in our sunroom, on this little carpet with cats on it. We've had a great summer in Boston so he's spent most of his afternoons right there. He likes to look out the window and wait for his friend, another cat next door, to sit in her window, and then they look at each other for awhile. It's so cute."
- Elizabeth

"Our four-legged, fluffy child, Sadie, thinks our living room couch is in fact hers. If you try and sit down while she's stretched out, she won't move an inch to accommodate you."
- Beth (Santa Monica, CA)

A wacky Ikea idea 

Oliver just sent Jo and I this video that is such a strange idea but, hey, Ikea can do anything as they rule the world. LOL. It is a look behind the experiment of IKEA UK's release of 100 house cats into its Wembley store. You need to watch it right to the end. You really do.

"Here is our beagle, Sophie Sue, relaxing in two of her favorite spots."
- Vanessa (Dallas, Texas)

"This is our little Siamese kitten Oliver, who spends most of his time cuddled up on the couch with his teddy"
- Keren (New Zealand)

"Pepper, our three year old silver back Persian. Gazing inquisitively outside at the squirrels but doesn't want to let go off the couch."
- Ivana and Sanil

"This is my dog Zoey on my hand-made Danish modern chair."
- Jenn (St. Louis, Missouri)

"Here are some pictures of my cats Nugget and Nelly enjoying their favourite couch, a linen-blend sectional from Structube. Nelly likes to prop herself next to me when i'm reading on the couch. Nugget on the other hand is quite possibly the laziest lounging cat ever. It's also purely coincidental that they are perfectly coordinated with the couch and pillow colour-scheme. :)"
- Steph (Ottawa)

"I love your monday posts, so here is a photo of our family pet cherry shrimps. We like those little creatures so much, that we even brought them along on the plane when we moved to France. The cupboard belongs to our french landlady, they are really keen on their family furniture, so when it was seized and auctioned off during WWII by nazis, they went to Germany to fetch it back immediately after the war ended =)"
- Liaissan (Orsay, France)

"This is Saga on her favorite spot."
- Maria (Sweden)

"It's my one year old English Springer Spaniel Rubee. He's hyper so look carefully cause you mightn't see any other pictures of him sitting still ;)"
- Rokoko

"This is my springer spaniel in my chair that I had recovered with fabric by StudioBon.  (He probably thinks he's helping me work- the chair is in my office.)"
- Kady

"Here is a picture of my two cats, Mary and Mabel in the living room of our cottage in Muskoka. Mary is on the coffee table and Mabel is lounging on the floor. I've also attached another picture of all three of our cats in the same room. Bodoni is on the chair, Mary's on the table and Mabel is on the floor."
- Jenny (Toronto)

''This is Troy, he's two years old and throughout his life we have bought 3 dog beds, that have ended up being bitten and broken by him, I guess he just wants to tell us that he is more comfortable in our furniture. We bought this pair of chairs in a rage of madness, are made of leather and were a bit expensive, but have been worth every penny because our friends like them and feel comfortable in them''
- Teresa (Guadalajara, Mexico)

"Our cats, Six and Buster, are brothers - they love sleeping next to (or on top of) each other on whatever soft surface they can find (bed, blanket, couch, lap).  Here they are curled up on our living room armchair, which goes well with the rusty orange color of their fur!"
- Megan

"Here's photo of Only napping on lazy sunday afternoon on my favorite side of the bed, on my favorite throw blanket!"
- Ed (Auckland, New Zealand)

"the kitty was snoozing on the bed when kira usurped her. the kitty (always called kitty although her official name is midge/skittles - there was some family disagreement) is a five year-old cat and kira is an eleven year-old siberian husky cockapoo cross."
- Danika (Edmonton, Alberta)

"Shiraz curled up on our vintage chair."
- Sara

"So I know I've all ready sent you a picture of chip that you posted, which was soooooooooo cool btw, thank you! But I can't control myself because my dog is too freaking cute! He actually had no interest in sitting in the diamond chair until we put down the sheep skin, which he apparently thought was just for him! I mean, look how happy he is!!"
- Curt

"Here are our two cats, Marlowe and Cassius, taking up the most regal seats in the house: two carved Chinese rosewood chairs.  I've included a close up with Cassius on one of the chairs, ready to receive his humble subjects :)"
- JanJan (SF Bay Area)

"Meet Cookie, my little mystery mutt. I adopted her a year ago and she's the best companion a girl could have. Here she is on one of my David Rowland chairs, which I inherited from my grandfather's old law office. I got the table for five bucks at a garage sale and painted it white myself. I inherited the Russel Wright pottery on the shelves from my grandmother. Here's Cookie playing on my bed. The bedding is by DwellStudio for Target, which was a great buy. Since the bedding is patterned and textured, her stray black and white hairs practically blend in! The embroidered piece on the wall is by my friend Jordan of http://hidethegoodscissors.blogspot.com. Lastly, here's Cookie lounging on the couch. She loves sleeping on the headrest (and pouncing on the back of my head when she wants attention). I'm indefinitely "borrowing" the couch from a friend. It's a far cry from my dream couch, but it serves its purpose. My grandmother made the needle point pillows and my great aunt crocheted the white blanket."

"1) I think Mickey knows he's gorgeous, he is always up for a photo shoot.
2) Custard is the sweetest little girl ever!

- Danielle

"Here is a pic of Chloe cat on a classic Pier One wicker chair, beneath my canopied painting tent where I create all summer long."
- MaryK (Albany, NY)

"Here's a photo of our little boxer, Lucy from Seattle. She is not on a beautiful piece of furniture....but furniture non-the-less! :-)"
- Leah

"This is Minx, my adorable Manx cat as a kitten. I was having my house treated by the pest control guys one day and couldn't leave her at home while it was being done so I took her to my mothers. We made sure to keep the doors closed so she couldn't lost. At one stage we could not find her anywhere! We searched high and low... and finally found her snoozing on one of the bookcases in the lounge. And to this day she still finds weird places to sleep. Her current favourite is my dressing table."
- Kate (New Zealand)

"This is our four-year-old Shih-Tzu, Ellie, who rules at our house. Here she is enjoying our custom-designed charcoal velvet sofa. After adjusting her blanket to her liking, she struck a pose saying (undoubtedly with attitude) 'This is my sofa--I dare you to tell me otherwise!'"
- Katie (Columbia, SC)

"This is my Labrador who's named Marron. He is sitting on the copy of "Mae West Lips Sofa" by Dali. We chose these colors for the padding because they fit better with the atmosphere of the room."
 - Marysia Chodzen (Warsaw, Poland)
