Our big guys are not supposed to be on the furniture, but they sneak up there in the winter. The wiener boy finally ended up in the bed--against the rules--and now sleeps under the covers.
The only thing that is still strictly forbidden, is cats on the counter tops.

Jump on the counter to give me head butts. How can I say no? DH has a problem with cats on the table while we eat though. Neither of them care about people food, they just want our company.
I really can't handle that. I love my cats to pieces, but they still have dirty little cat feet.

(9,232 posts)Years ago we had a big orange tabby who lived to 18. When we ate at the dining room table (kids were little then) we sometimes let the elder statesman be the centerpiece. DH not happy but he got outvoted.
procon
(15,805 posts)Never has. It was her choice, she prefers her big, comfy memory foam doggie bed.
Now, my two kitty divas, are an altogether different matter. They own an assortment of deluxe cat condos, various pillow lined baskets, soft furry beds, heated caves and window shelves and even an old cardboard box they love, but they still dominate my furniture.
They want whatever seat I'm in, telling me to move aside with assorted physical assaults. We fight over the recliner. I get the floofy tail beating across my face, or they will stand in one place on my legs until the painful weight of their delicate little pile driver feetzies forces me to wave the white flag and quit the field in shame. Paws for the cause - smack! - right in the nose, or snag my glasses off with the flick of a single claw.

(90,740 posts)They allow us to maneuver around them to find a spot on the bed.
We make a pallet on the floor with lots of blankets and pillows and then we all roll about and get settled together.
That's naptime at my house.
It's their world. They share sometimes. We're OK with that.

Phentex
(16,330 posts)one of the best things I ever did! They do steal the pillows though.
