It's a table *and* a cat bed
Yay! Two days in a row!
Today's photo is why we leave a tablecloth on the dining room table after we're done eating... and why we *always* change it before we eat there again, because we quickly realized keeping the cats off when we weren't using it was a losing battle.
Zoë sleeping in her favorite spot, with late evening sunlight across the valley behind her.
When we first moved in, we decided we were going to take the actual dining room and convert it into the office. It's worked really well and I love having a big picture window in front of my desk, so I can look out across the valley whenever I'm at my computer. However, that meant the dining room stuff had to go somewhere, so we co-opted part of the living room... setting the table up next to the even larger picture windows in there. About the third time we chased the cats off that spot, we knew it was a war we weren't going to win. Even if they stayed off when we were around, they'd hop up there as soon as we weren't looking.
So far, the tablecloth changing schedule has worked really well. We don't have issues with cat hair when we want to have dinner and they have a great spot to sit and watch the world go by.
