I had been wanting to get a behind the sofa table for a long time. One day I realized I already had one — a very nice wooden kitchen utility cart we got made in Vermont.

We put the crate pad from Chekhov (couldn’t figure out what to do with it) on top, and it fit perfectly. The rest is history. The boys love it. One or the other, or both, are almost always snoozing up there (Chester is not allowed on it — after all, he has his bed, which he took over from the boys).

Not too long ago, we visited my sister in law in Seattle. They have 2 cats, Sammy and Ollie. Ollie is a bit cantakerous, although he’ll accept some petting if he’s in the mood for it.

Sammy (I think I got their names right) is an absolute darling 9 month old Bengal. My SIL is very busy with work and her two kids, so the cats don’t get a whole lot of attention. I, of course, was playing with Sammy every morning — and my reward was that he came and snuggled with me whenever I tried to sit down and read. I didn’t get a whole lot of reading done . . .
