My formerly mint mid-century modern couch. And Wonky Kitten pulling the fluffy stuff out of it. I love him.

Edit: I have a little interview at Lady's Comics. It is in Portuguese and English:)

  1. I LOLed. Oh, yes, I LOLed! And startled my kitty, who was, of course, sleeping in my lap. Who is now lick-lick-licking my hands because they are TYPING! can you believe it? instead of petting her.

  2. I was grumpy at my cat for being sick on my computer chair, but by the time I got downstairs to get a cloth to clean up she was looking so cute and innocent I couldn't be angry any more. Cats are too powerful me thinks!

  9. Every last corner front and back of our three couches has been shredded :(
    Not sure what we'll do when they get replaced!

  10. It's more beautiful that way, actually.
    And the yakface is precious. ;)

  11. Awesome!

    Oh if I had a nickel for every time I discovered something that is now "formerly", and wagged a finger at the offender saying "This is why we can't have nice things!!" But yeah, still love them.

  12. I was at Restoration Hardware a few weeks ago. I saw this beautiful couch made out of something you use to put potatoes in, but the weave was finer and more dense. It totally looked like it could take a beating, so if I reupholster my furniture, I might look into that material. I'm also looking at fabrics similar to the ones found for patio chairs--like a thick, coated canvas. They're not as soft and cuddly, but that's what throw blankets are for. That and it's a good long-term visitor deterrent.

  17. We've had lots of luck getting cats to scratch where they should if we offer posts and mats wrapped in sisal. "Kitty Hoots" has a sisal mat that all our foster kittens have used (they often start to scratch by 4 or 5 weeks of age), and pet stores are full of cat posts/trees wrapped with sisal. It's super cheap to build your own, too. We've got 25 cats and no furniture damage, but we provide a dozen different trees/posts to scratch on.

  18. You're awsome! Your drawings are so sharp and funny! I love enter your site and found a new drawing, which I know I'll love for sure. I Identify with almost every post. This should been published! From Barcelona, I would buy it for sure.
    LOL,

  19. Your house is still probably more magical for all the kitties :)) And I love the insane-face of your cat owners.

  20. I too sit on something formerly known as the sofa. You can't call it like that anymore. I've got nine, NINE cats. Nine.

  21. I have a cat for almost a year now and I couldn't live without him!

    Love your blog, btw!

    Kudos from Porto Alegre, Brazil!

  22. I can't believe you let your cat destroy your furniture! He's a gorgeous kitty, but if he were mine and I caught him disemboweling my couch, I'd start seriously wondering what he'd look like as a pair of mittens.

    In other news, this morning my little furry bastard decided to lie across my neck while I was sleeping. I nudged his elbow off my windpipe and let him stay. :)

  23. Hahaha, but it's totally worth having cats :D. Have a meery Christmas! :)

    Miki.

    Hello, Yasmine!
    I have a 15 years old Tonkinese cat. I like your blog pretty much!
    I've read the Lady's Comics article and found it amazing that your mom was an animator for Jem & The Holograms. I love that show! I used to whatch it in the SBT tv channel over here in Brazil.
    Feliz 2011!
