We’ve been making some changes in the house recently – mainly so that we can accommodate Baby Pearson when he/she arrives. This has involved changing ‘The Green Room’ into a study, and moving our TV to the bigger living room where we used to keep all our books. As you can imagine Andy didn’t particularly enjoy shifting 4 bookcases across the house. (Due to my current ‘condition’ I just had to help by watching!)
These changes have come at a cost, not so much to our wallets, but to the other creatures who live here. Last night we cleared a few old bits and pieces of furniture out onto the street for the Council to come and collect. One of these items was a small sofa that has really only been used by Dylan and Jay Jay for the past 6 months or so. As much as we love the cats, a whole sofa to themselves did seem a bit ridiculous (especially as it was taking up half of the room that will eventually belong to Baby Pearson!)
Of course, without their sofa and beloved green cushion, the cats were at a bit of a loss last night. I was woken up 3 times by Jay Jay who was trying to scratch his way in to the linen cupboard looking for something soft to lie on. And today, they really didn’t look very comfortable perched on the hard wooden window sill:
I have temporarily solved the problem by making a nice cat bed out of a pile of old blankets. The cats seem happy enough with this solution for now, but a long term solution will need to be found. (Especially as this pile of blankets now takes up a considerable amount of floor space in the room that will eventually belong to Baby Pearson!)
