Mancat Monday


For ages now, I've been trying to get Mom to understand that this is MY space. Not hers. Yes, I know that technically it's "her" dressing table, but clearly, it's meant to be a lounge space for a mancat.

I mean, seriously, look at all this room. Can you believe we've been battling for over two years?! I kept knocking things off... finally she'd realize she needed to relocate it. One by one, they all fell to my mighty whapping paw. And the steel in my eye as I'd do it, looking sternly right at her. You have to make sure they get the point.

Hoomins can be quite dense, so training is usually a laborious chore. Finally she got it, and moved the last bit (a hairdryer in its metal holder). Right where I'm sprawled here, that's where it was.

I win.

  4. Clearly. I believe, if you look closely in the top right-paw corner, you'll see your name written on it, for sure.

  5. That looks like a very good spot for lounging. What was she thinking of, trying to keep her things there.

  7. Toby, she needs to put a comfy bed on there for you. It's obviously your space.

  10. LOL, well done training your hoomin, Toby! We have many surfaces that don't have stuff any more because Goro kept knocking them off. You know what, as a result, our house has less clutter! So I know you kitties are really doing a favor for hoomins :-)

  15. Humans, they can be a little thick sometimes, but they are trainable if you use the right techniques
