WOYWW & WW: A Tale Of Two Cats

A Table Built For Two
Once upon a time a nice young couple had a table of their very own. It served many useful functions.

They ate there. They worked there. They entertained there. They created many beautiful and delicious things there.

Then along came two creatures we shall simply call “the cats”.

The cats decided the table was the greatest invention since caged mice! They began sleeping there. They began playing there. They began taking their meals and phone calls from there!

The nice young couple tried to reclaim the space but their efforts were in vain. No amount of toys, turkey, or catnip could persuade those cats to leave their perch for very long. Any attempts to remove the gargantuan creatures resulted in strained shoulders on the part of the presumptuous party!

So, the table-less couple are taking a poll. Should they set up a schedule and hope the cats cooperate in the new time-share plan? Should they take up a collection for a set of new TV trays?

Share your thoughts and have a purr-fect WOYWW & Wordless Wednesday!

    So funny! My guess is you may as well invest in the TV trays. :-)

    I think you lost your table. They'd probably still let you work there (but there isn't much space left now, is there?)

    Maincoons are stubborn. Stubborn and big and heavy and smart and, at times, disdainful upon their human counterparts.

    Well this proves the old - 'you're nobody until you've been owned by a cat' theory! I'm all for retraining and winning my table back, but I rather suspect that it would be quieter and moore dignified to buy a couple lap trays!!

    I can hear you, there was a time in my life when I had three cats, a little crowded on the table ;-). How about getting a folding table just for you and your other half?

    LOL! I love it! Sounds like your cats rule like our cats do - we've had to relocate our dinnertime to the coffee table instead. ;) TV trays would be great, though! ;)

    I think you should just move into their space...so...start taking your own meals out of their bowls...and sleeping in their beds... if you make it appealing enough for them (because you "love" it so much) they may return to their own spaces...and if not...then you at least have new spaces of your own - the cat bowls & beds : )

    These two look like gate keepers! I think they are pretty much daring you to try to take away their table.

  44. Chris @ the cat/dog logMay 18, 2011 at 11:02 AM

    I'd say tv trays are probably your best bet at this point. I used to have control over my two cats, thought I had them trained to stay off counters and the table. But after my older cat Jackie died, we acquired a young headstrong kitty named Lola, and she refused all training efforts. And to make things worse, now Gidget who used to mind, watched Lola and follows her lead. We're sunk! Happy WW
