Cat IN a Chair
We had something go wrong with one of our lazy boy recliner chairs so
undid a bit of the upholstery at the back to fix it. I was sitting in the chair the other day and felt the chair undulating beneath me - it gave me quite a turn - you don't expect to have a mobile armchair. Did we have a resident poltergeist? You guessed it - Bonnie had wormed her way inside the chair. She was, of course, impossible to get out as she had found the ultimate hiding place. She did the complete exploration - she went right inside the head rest and had a fight with a spring, she crawled into the arms and did a somersault or two, she burrowed her way down into the footrest and managed to insert a couple of claws in my foot through the upholstery In short, she had made the chair uninhabitable. I wonder when she is going to come out. Bev -- Cats aren't clean, they're just covered with cat spit. |

Iknow that sounds mean, but I know someone who accidentally squashed their cat in a recliner. The cat had to be put to sleep. When we had Roscoe he had a thing about jumping in the dryer when I was loading it. I scared the bejesus out of him for it. I was too scared he'd go to a home with children and accidentally get "dried." Sherry Don't worry gang. We are going to re-tack up the upholstery so that she can't get in again, naughty little thing.

Living in LA, as I've mentioned a few times, one has to expect the occasional earth tremor. I was relaxing in my recliner one night and felt it moving. I turned to DH and asked her if she felt it too. She replied that, no, she didn't. Then I discovered the cause of the "earthquake". It was Smokey, my huge Russian Blue, 'sharpening his claws' on the chair. As he was declawed when we got him, you didn't hear the scratching and pulling sounds that would have identified the phenomenon as being of cat origin. Regards and Purrs, O J |

Two of the cats think it's grand fun to climb into the inside of the chair back. We have moved it to a room that stays closed. It's an old chair so we plan to replace it with something new. I thought we would have to get a different kind of chair. Your post gives me hope as I take it that Lazy Boy does close the bottom of the recliners with a cover. Is this true, or did you cover the bottom yourself? Debra in VA |
