I don’t allow our cat, Saru-chan, into the kitchen, but I couldn’t help but laugh when she was caught loafing out in the window area between the kitchen and the living room. She looked so pleased with herself!
Something soft on a hard surface is a kitty bed. It’s a rule. My cat told me.
At least she’s in “kitty loaf” position! 😉
I agree with Mayhem….a kitty should be where a kitty wants to be.
And, the minute you turn your head. Esau sits on the kitchen counter and watches the birds and squirrels feeding. I just make sure it’s ultra clean when she finally moves her butt. What’re ya gonna do??
Oh, it’s a lost cause alright. Just like Gandalf on the counter…
It is the right size, I have to give her that much.
But only that much.
One of my kitty beds looks like that too! I also like to sleep on open laptop computer keyboards. We are so lucky to have these comfortable choices.

OK, I need your help, and I think it’s funny that your post is exactly what I was going to ask you about. Evanrude is being a menace, he’s up on the counters and the table. Know any way to discourage this kind of behavior?
Why don’t you just admit it – EVERYWHERE is a kitty bed overthere.
I think you might need a non-quilted placemat.
So THAT’S why there’s always cat hair in my soup!!
Looks like a kitty bed to me 🙂
Chris- Oh yes, it’s a great vantage point, to survey the Kingdom.
Oh, cats… always finding new cat beds. I’ve given up on the table, except when we’re eating, but I’m winning the kitchen counter war.
Aww she blends right in
Technically, she’s on the placemat, NOT the table….
Mayhem makes a beautiful centrepiece.
Well. If that’s not a kitty bed, I don’t know what is …
the cat is on the mat
The world is all set up for cats and the sooner we figure that out the better 🙂
I gave your blog an award today – go to my post and get all the details!
Ranger loves to lay down with his front paws folded up like that. Too cute.
Silly Chris. Of course, it’s a kitty bed. It’s kitty shaped. It’s quilted. It’s up high and it’s something you use.
Ooooh, you’re in trouble now May May!
She doesn’t even look that comfortable!
what if you moved it to the floor? Would Mayhem still sit on the placemat or the spot on the table? You can never tell with cats!
Well at least she’s not technically ON the table, she’s on the placemat that’s on the table. LOL
I agree with Eryka — try putting a placemat on the floor to see what happens. I would bet she won’t think it’s a kitty bed then!
Raven thinks the same thing!
It looks like a cat bed to me. Stand your ground, Mayhem, stand your ground.
At least it’s more understandable than the attraction to wet wool. Wet? Do. not. get.
Yes, and the door jambs are not scratching posts. And as I used to tell them when they were rambunctious kittens, I am not a TREE!
Our cats firmly believe that the stools next to the kitchen peninsula are there to make it easier for them to access the counter.
My parents have taught their cats the one kitchen rule, no back feet on the table. But of course front feet are allowed and breakfast yogurt treats are served in dishes at the table for both cats. My parents have gotten weird in their retirement.
No, no May – off the kitchen table! (I say the same thing to Socks every day.)
“What a girl wants, what a girl needs.”
Isn’t it amazing the sheer number and scope of things that turn out to be kitty beds? I had no idea!
She’s such a minimilist. It’s like a tatami mat for sleeping. Me? I want more comfort!
Very naughty, May! Will she sleep on the table without the placemat?
My parent’s cat, Rip, would get up on the table when he thought he was being ignored and he wanted attention.
Oh, those tucked in paws get me every time. Everything is a kitty bed. Every.Thing.
At least she’s cute while she does it. 🙂
Right now, my cat is sleeping on top of a Barbie doll. A legless Barbie doll, that is. Weird on both accounts!
Would it be as tempting if it was on the floor?
Poor, cute Mayhem, deprived of her kitty beds.
We try, too, but they win. My aunts eat on TV trays and now use the kitchen table for cat-bird-watching and brushing.
