Shelf Life

Jan 9, 2011 By Layla

So, my humans tell me the room I’ve been hangin’ out in lately is going to become a “kids room” in the near future.

I’m not sure how I feel about that idea yet.

A) Kids are wild & crazy. I prefer quiet & calm. Wild and crazy makes me nervous…

And B) Converting my hangout into a kids room probably means the shelf/coat rack I’ve been calling a bed lately will no longer live on the floor…

I’m really gonna miss my pokey pegs…

Except for that one in the back…

That one makes me nervous too.

    Awe…. that’s too cute! Our dog had a “transition” period when our daughter arrived 🙂

    It’s funny how they act like they’ve been replaced! Our cat still acts offended by our son a year and a half later, but secretly I think she likes the “play thing” around.

    I love hearing from Bean! He’s the shy one in the LC family, so it’s nice to see what’s going on! Poor Bean. 🙂

    Ha! Your a funny cat Bean 🙂 Kids will also pet you and feed you and give you tons of attention so try to keep that in mind. And they will make your humans super happy, you want that don’t you?!

    Layla, I didn’t even realize you had that adorable kitty. That’s hilarious . . . cats sleep in the craziest places. I have 3 silly kitties and they make me laugh all the time!

    ha ha…pokey pegs! I’m glad that I am not the only one with crazy cats! Party on Bean!

    LOL! What a cutie! It will be a huge adjustment for all I’m sure, Bean!

    I love Bean posts too 🙂

    I laughed out loud when I saw those posts sticking into him. Everything will be okay, obviously Bean has a pretty tough skin. 🙂

    That is so funny, I can’t believe kitty sleeps on those pokey sticks. Cats do the darndest things! Hope the adoption process is going well and can’t wait to hear more. We’re rootin’ for ya.

    is this a hint?

    Bless his little kitty heart! My son’s pug was quite jealous when my grandson was born, but he has found that the kid sneaks him treats so all is well now! I love cats and feel, at least at my house, that they are the heart of our home.

    Too cute:):)
    It’s funny how animals just instinctively know when things are about to change:):):)

    Oh, Bean! I can see why that one would make you nervous! I understand your anxiety about kids too, but you did make me chuckle today.

  23. Melissa S.

    Jan 9, 2011 at 8:37 pm

    Aww! I’m with you Bean…but I’m sure your humans know what they are doing. Who knows, the kid might share the room with you. I would!

    I’m an interior designer from Melbourne, Australia – I loved your blog, I found it very inspiring. This is all new to me but I have just set up my own blog
    scrapbook-melissah.blogspot.com
    You may like to check it out because I had so much fun doing it. It’s got a bit of everything fashion, interiors, food, travel spots – hopefully you will find something in there that you like.
    Thanks for providing me with such great entertainment!
    Cheers

    I hope this means there isn’t much of a wait left for you guys. I know how incredibly anxious that wait can be. I cannot wait to see what you do with the kiddo’s room.

    so funny! did i miss a post about a baby?
    our kids have been older since we have had our dog and we will be having a grandbaby in sept. i do not think he is going to be in love with the new addition. jealousy and little hands are tough!:)

    Buy some organic (no chemicals) catnip and you won’t have ANY problems!! Or even better….take some of the stuffing out of your kitties toys and restuff with catnip…yum!!!

    Of all the cushy, smooshy things I am sure you have around the house….Bean picks a pokey shelf! That’s a cat for ya.
    P.S. Great shelf btw!

    Layla, seriously, huge smile on my face for the cat post!!!!!! Cats sit in the funniest places.

    Oh, Bean, your world is about to be rocked! And my previous cat who now lives with my mother because of my three young’ns will tell you, “YOU’LL HATE THE CHANGE!”

    Congratulations Bean!
    God’s blessings,

    That can’t be comfortable!!! It’s been a long day and that post totally made me laugh! Your cat is gorgeous and if he is anything like our cats he will not be impressed! Thanks for the laugh! 🙂

    Bean is so sweet. I’m sure he will adjust. That or find a better hiding place! Thanks for the smile this morning.

    Bean is a beautiful cat. I bet Bean will quickly find a new favorite spot.

  45. Cindy Chapman

    Jan 10, 2011 at 9:04 am

    You’ll be fine Bean. There will be all kinds of interesting things coming into the house. (Crib/bed, swing, bouncy seat/tricycle, etc-not sure of the new siblings age) Of course, none of them have anything to do with your new sister or brother! They are all for you to try out in order to find a comfy new spot to nap in.

    Oh Bean! Your cousins in SC sit in odd places as well….but you all seem so comfie..we have a tough time disturbing you.
    You’ll end up loving the baby…have no fear!

  47. Ricki Jill Treleaven

    Aw…poor Bean! Bean needs a special bed. Target has cute ones!!!
