So, we put this cover on the couch to keep the cat hair off it...

1. You should have asked first

that was inevitable

[ZenLefty]

4. I *did* ask first

He said it was a great idea. :think:

[radwriter0555]

2. This is why I don't do cats.

Can't stand em.

[ZenLefty]

5. Yes, they are very clever.

Sorry you can't stand them.

[beyurslf]

10. Yeah because dogs will be so much better I thought.

My dog would have just chewed the corner of the slip cover off. :)

[radwriter0555]

17. My dogs are SO smart, they have ME trained.

My dog Blue, brings me the ball, over and over until I throw it for her.

my lil dog Joe, jumps up on the bed and LOOKS at me until I lift up the blankies for him to scoot under. Oh, and the sweater I just made for him matches his collar.

My littler dog Winky has me trained in several ways. First, in the morning when I'm tidying myself up in the bathroom, she sits there and looks at me until her food dish gets filled. Then she eats her breakfast in the bathroom.

Then, she is too tiny to jump up on my bed. So she sits there and make this NOISE -- a little whining GROAN until I reach down to grab her. Well the first 3 times she jumps out of the way until that's not FUN anymore...

My tortoise Boomer trained me to put his house in the corner of the yard he wanted it in by NOT using it where I wanted to keep it.

My animals are in complete control in my house.

3. So purrrrrfect......

They always get one up on us......:smoke:

It's their house, they just let us live there.

[ZenLefty]

7. This one's a little smarter than average

He is infamous for thinking around things like this.

He catches fake mice every day, and gets 1 treat per mouse he carries into the kitchen. Lately, he's been batting them back into the living room and carrying them back into the kitchen. Catching the same mouse twice.

He's too lazy (and obese) to jump up on the bed. But he knows if he paws me, runs to the bedroom and stands next to the bed that I'll pick him up and put him there.

12. That's FUNNY!

Ours do that, too. When the want to play, they pick up toy mice in their mouths and set them down in front of us. They'll even play fetch if they're REALLY desperate for attention.

Yet another reason why CATS RULE! :D

6. This is why I love cats

they're so smart!!!!

[Padraig18]

8. And you expected....

.. this would NOT happen? :P

[Lefta Dissenter]

9. Yikes! RUN, Kitty, RUN!

That's a good way to get smooshed by someone's big butt!

[ZenLefty]

27. That happened tonight

ZenLeftyGirl forgot to do a fluff check under the slip cover. :o

EDIT: That is not to imply that she has a big butt. Absolutely not. Just thought I'd clarify that point, in case someone's reading...

[no name no slogan]

11. ...of course!!!

We're doing some major repairs on our house, so our cats have had to live in the half-finished upstairs for the last month. There's only plastic sheeting covering up the insulation, which is a combination of fiberglass in some places and wool in others (the house is 70+ years old).

Anyway, they've torn down part of the plastic sheeting that covers a part of the ceiling that's at a 45° angle, and have turned it into a little "nesting area".

:eyes: thank Allah we're sheetrocking upstairs this weekend.

[blm]

13. heheh....a familiar sight around my house.

Kitties....ya gotta love em.

[catzies]

14. AWWWWWWWWWWW....

:loveya:

[Liberal Veteran]

15. Oh please. There is nothing, I repeat, nothing...

..that will keep cat hair out of things. It's a shock when I open a can of vegetables for supper and don't find cat hair in it.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

22. I took a chicken out of the oven tonight

and there was a single black Reno hair on it. Nothing escapes cat hair no matter how much you brush them or how much you vacuum.

[TEXASYANKEE]

16. Typical.

At my house there would be 2 faces staring out and 2 lumps sleeping under the cover!

[Clark4VotingRights]

18. Oh Zen Zen Zen Zen Zen..., you poor naive dear.

Whatever made you think you, or any human, could prevail in
a battle of wits with a cat?
I hope you're dispelled of that hubris.

Think about this:
They got *nothing else to do*.
They can plot ways 24/7 to foil your feeble attempts to control them.

You can't win.

Cute pic though.

19. A guy I knew used to have a cat

The cat knew it wasn't allowed on the furniture and never, ever violated that rule, as far as anyone could tell, until Nick came home from work one day and noticed a warm spot on the sofa.

[djeseru]

20. You just think...

...you own the couch...it looks like it belongs to someone else there!

[Cleita]

21. Aw, that's precious.

I took my cover off. It was hopeless. They know when it's for them and they fight it. Now if you had thrown a fine shawl or sweater there, no matter how briefly, it would become theirs in an instant.

[MaryBear]

23. lol!

[Purrfessor]

24. Wouldn't it have been easier to put the cover on the cat?

n/t

[ProudGerman]

25. You're on to something there

Kitty slip covers, head to tail pajamas with feet. It's a great idea. No hair gets out, and the completely embarrassed looks on the cats when they have their pics taken with it on. Nothing is better than a cat being caught for perpituity looking undiginified.

Signed,
ProudGerman's dog

[Kenneth ken]

28. LOL - good dog post n/t

[bubblesby2002]

26. So much smarter than humans.

When I leave for work in the morning, I put old towels all over my bed so my three cats have a place to sleep that's warm (I have a heated water bed). However, when I get home there's always one of them that's lying on the one tiny spot not covered by towels. They rule my life. :loveya:
