Footrest Favoring Feline


 So, I know we've shown photos in posts past of our sweet Smudge on my chair's footrest,

But she told me to go ahead and post more anyway since she knows how adorable she can be.

Since she's most definitely grown more comfortable with us and has continued to develop routines,

she's taken to claiming her spot on the footrest pretty much every night while her mom and I sit and watch tv.

Though her favorite, hands down, is the one on my chair, she surprised us the other night by balancing on her mom's.

I say balancing because the footrest on that one is just barely wide enough for her, umm, circumference, shall we say. 

Easy there, big guy- you do realize mom's just being nice when she talks about how "cute" your muffin tops are, right?

Okay, my bad. Anyway, as annoying as it can be at times, Smudge pretty much owns the footrest. Sure, she occasionally curls up on one side or a corner, but 99% of the time she takes up the prime acreage.


And we've learned to be alright with that. 

Damn straight.

Needless to say, please forgive the overabundance of footrest fotos. Sometimes I just can't help myself.

Understatement. . .

And so it came to be that is shall no longer be called the "foot rest". For it shall now be forever called The Paw Rest, or Smudge Sleeper Spot, or Raise It Up, I Have Arrived.

I can see where that might be kind of tiring for human legs, and a little painful for the ankle bones. But we never deny our kitties what they want when they want it. Unless it's over feeding them, LOL. Love seeing how well Smudge has gotten used to her new home and her new people.

Aww, we are so happy that Smudge is so content there. She is clearly the queen of the castle -- as it should be! :)

WE have a chair like that but we don't go on the footrest at all--too hard I think

We have a chair that does that. But TBT never leaves it up. We will have to talk to him about that!

We had emailed Miss Smudge a little holiday "gift" the other day, but happy to see she made one of her own which is very sweet. Paws up little one!
