I can picture that! I’ve been up to my ears in various litters of feral cats and kittens all summer, this is just the latest. It was something else when I had all the kittens playing at once! They love to lay in wait around a corner, and when the victim comes around the corner they both go three feet in the air. :~)

Hey - what do you guys think of this? It's not leather, and I'm not sure how it would fit, but it's really interesting!

Ikea-Fagelbo corner sofa bed

I like it and the different configurations you could make! With a bunch of pillows, you and ecurbh could both lounge on the couch, one of you would have feet in your lap, but that’s okay! Are little kitten claws compatible with a leather sofa? LSA

It would need a lot of pillows, and I wonder how comfortable it really is.

Not sure kitten claws are good for leather, but kitten claws aren’t really good for anything! :~\ No kittens clawing at sofas!

We bought a couch set up like that for the basement. SirKit LOVES the chaise end of it.

“IKEA” is the Swedish word for “crap.”

Don’t get me wrong. They have some cool stuff. We furnished the boys’ rooms from IKEA. But I don’t consider it “real” furniture. And after I had to assemble ~everything~ I swore I’d never do it again.

Just my $0.02.

Jack’s coloring reminds me of Cartman. I like his white bib.

My boss hates Ikea, but then she hates all things Swedish. Her ex was Swedish, and loved Ikea. ;~) She now can’t even tolerate blue and yellow together.

Yeah - if Jack can become friendly, he’d have my heart. I love orange toms. I miss Cartman, and old Kitty #6.

Not the same brand. It's the Rowe brand; we got it at Jordan's furniture. It's light taupe microfiber, and VEY comfy. We got the (when you're facing the sofa) left end corner, and the right side chaise.

Ah - well THAT one does look comfortable. But that’s like “real” furniture ;~)

Dittos on the IKEA = crapola. It is very seductive crapola, multi-fuctional, and addictive. Like chocolate, you can’t stop at just one. I love it, I hate it. I hate that I love it. Ah, IKEA.

I eggspecially love the androgynous blob cartoon person in the instruction booklet. (booklet - not sheet, or scrap of paper. booklet)

Yep, it’s the best furniture we have in the house. ;o) But even it wasn’t even that expensive.

Well, I think we’d really like leather, just because I’m tired of the furniture being a trap for hair, but can only really afford or justify it used.

I guess I don’t want the blue thing. It’s got potential, but I’m not even sure it would fit.

You mean YOU watch sports? Well, whooda thought it? ;o)

Jordan Furniture is a cool place; it's HUGH, and they have large sections for different types of furniture. In addition to that, they have an IMAX theater! That's where we went to see Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Of course, to get TO the theater, you have to go all the way through the store. Those guys are savvy bidnessmen, that's for sure.
