Thursday - Life with Felines


It really hurts my feelings when I try to be helpful, and all I get is "Toby, NO!"
See this desk? Mom got it set up - finally! it's been a mess for months - and I was
only trying to use my interior decorator skills to move things around.


So I really don't understand her muttered references to "taking hostages".

Yes, I thought these figurines, and the glass pumpkin, would look better moved 
OFF the desk. I was experimenting with a minimalist approach.


But she said these ladies were far too expensive ***
to take a swipe of my Mighty Paw of Doom.

Anyway, I got what I wanted; all that clutter has been relocated.

You're welcome, Mom.



**** Hallmark store. Way overpriced but....

  1. Of course, *we* would never recommend this, but our mom uses Scotch Removable Mounting Putty to secure things that are in "harm's way." Why, she even stuck a giant wad of it under the stereo because some girl here pushed it on to the floor while somebody was playing tag with her.

  2. Humans never seem to appreciate our decorating skills. I thought the bathroom looked so much better with toilet paper all over the floor but the mom didn't see it the same way. Sheesh. ~Ernie

  3. My human has a few figurines... and I have NO idea where she put them! In fact, I don't think I've even seen them, just heard rumors that they exist...

  4. Humans don't appreciate our decorating skills. I tried to convince my mom that her aloe plant looked better knocked onto the floor, but she got mad for some reason. Signed, Ringo.

  8. I can't believe she hurt your felines like that! The minimalist look is so "in"!!! Some of our great brothers taught our mom how that look can really enhance a home years ago. I think the highlight of that process was when great-brother Dave helped himself to a snack. It was bananas - an acceptable snack! Oh, sure ... he ate peel and all ... and they had been on top of the refrigerator ... but fruit is healthy, right? After that, I'm told, things weren't left on top of the fridge, the counters, pretty much anywhere. It's a great look, right?!? Your mom should appreciate your efforts more!!!
    Yours sincerely,

  10. I'm a big fun of minimalist approach, Toby! Great job clearing up the clutter! Goro has helped us with clutter in the kitchen a lot, too, and we sure are thankful!

  11. Bear has the same hankering to "redecorate" ... all my breakables are safely boxed up or on top of the entertainment center (the one place Bear hasn't succeeded in getting to ... YET). You definitely have an eye, Toby ... maybe you and Bear should start a consulting company?

  14. I think Frodo and Toby share the same sense of design--unfortunately! They go for the less is more approach!
