Recently my boyfriend has been having trouble transferring from the bed to his chair. As soon as he starts for his chair, if our cat, Riley, isn't already in it, he jumps up and races Scott for it trying to squeeze onto it first. It is hilareous! This is Rileys favorite sleeping spot.

[Vanessamaee]

Thats too funny! I though my cats where weird and the only ones that do it!! I have 2 cats and they both will race for the chair and they've actually fought over it before! And also when Im in the chair they will sometimes sit in my lap and go for rides. lol

Them kitty cats are kinda soft and spongy...
maybe it would help with pressure sores
I mean I'm sure they would move around a lot if you sat on them, so not one area is getting all the pressure.

Think outside the square people, that's how all the great discoveries are made.

[Kayak Girl]

I'm sure he is bound to find himself being used as a cushion at least once! LOL

We have 2 cats also, but the other one will only step on the chair briefly to get from point A to B. Riley has always slept on the chair and also loves to hitch rides from room to room. He also likes sitting on Scotts lap and watches intently when he plays computer games. It's funny to watch. And whenever Scott comes through the front door, whether he has been gone for a few hours or a few minutes, Riley will run to him and jump in his lap as if he had been gone an eternity. It's too cute!

He used to move rather easily if Scott wanted his chair back, now he just looks at him like "yeah, you're not taking MY chair". And the racing him trying to beat him into the chair is brand new. LOL

Kinda like a warm, fuzzy butt massage, I dig it....

That's funny. My 2 dogs race to see who gets to sit in my lap first. They'll fight to win that "first" ride. They only ride to the bathroom where I brush my teeth then they are ready to get down. I guess it's all about pecking order for the day.

There are times they get so intense over it that they beat me into getting in the chair.

When we are in the truck and my hubby gets out, they both have to sit in my lap until he comes back. I'm not sure if they are protecting me or they think I'm protecting them. I think my schnauzer is protecting me and I'm protecting the pug. I do know it's a lap full of dog!

[Kayak Girl]

Goose - that is a lap full! LOL Animals are awesome creatures. They provide so much love and entertainment!

Cats have no sense of timing. lol

We've got 3 cats total; my mom's VERY OLD cat Casper who was around when I was still using foam cushions so now when I go to use the toilet I actually have to pick up the ROHO cushion & lean it up against my wheelchair's back upholstery or else he'll try to jump up ON it.....too many years of being allowed to snooze on/in my chairs, Prancer LOVES lap rides AND wheelies.....he purrs louder the faster I go & he does that "cat dance" "kneading" thing with his claws WITH a giant grin on his face (HOWEVER we learned the hard way that I need to have a towel over my legs so he can't claw up my knees) but unless I'm up for giving him yet another lap ride he could care less about what I'm doing (OR if I'm handing out some Pounce treatsies), Oreo MY BUDDY does go for lap rides from our office to the bedroom but the ONLY wheelies I'd better be doing are the small ones that I HAVE TO DO to get over those strips that separate each room....anyway he's my fuzzy shadow most of the time when I'm feeling AOK & all the time when I'm not.

Well, I don't have any cats but I have an awfully cute 2 yr. old that LOVES to tease me by climbing into my chair when I want to transfer into it. He thinks it is the funniest joke ever and it is SO cute!! This picture was taken a few months ago.

rue: TOO cute!!! I had a kid about that age who was so enamored by my chair at the military base grocery store she kept running away from her mum to find me. I kept bringing her back and as we were leaving I saw she'd grabbed the back of it and was trying to come home with us! Wheelchairs = child magnets.

My dog loves my chair too. He's almost 70 lbs and likes to prop himself up on it. Once I've transferred in he thinks he's a lap dog and tries to jump up. Epic fail most of the time though.

Should I shave his head?

[megatrig]

If I get in late my cat will sit there staring at me!!

You can see him tapping his watch saying "what time do you call this. I want to go to bed".

Then in the mornings you reach to pull your chair closer to you and find cats claws grasping you as he objects to being disturbed!!

Funny thing!

[The Black Sheep]

But they LOVE you!

Cats... Always have bad timing and placement. My little man always sleeps on my chair next to the bed but knows when it's time to get off. These are my frequent problems.

Aww, I love everyone's animal stories. I have a German Shepherd but he doesn't try to do anything with my chair. However, when I eat from a paper plate he is allowed to lick the plate. He learned when I came home that I couldn't put the plate on the floor for him any more. He quickly decided that he would take the plate himself and put it on the floor. Now if only he would pick it up and throw it in the trash can!

In my very first apt back in 1983 my room mate who pretty much took Me^ in until I found a W/chair accessable one Had 2 Cats!
A severe bladder infection had the doctor send his nurse to put a interal catheter in that had an irrigation bottle hanging from an IV poll to keep my bladder flushed clean.
That Bottle had a Tube cylinder where you can see the drip speed like a IV has.
Room mates cats liked sleeping between my feet, never knew why. Cold winter night while room mate working the night shift and Me^ alone in bed, first cat jumps up and starrts pulling my blanket down with it's front feets claws, stronger then my c4 c5 finger grip. Freaking Cat Stripped Me^ to wear blanket only covered Me^ up to my knees! Buck naked cursing Cat and second Cat jumps in bed between feet also. I notice in the dark of just the TV light that 2 was staring up at the Drip in the irrigation tube just below it's Drip rate thing!
Then the unbelievable !!!
That Cat jumped to get to the Drip it was attracted to like a Cat toy. It's Claws of one of it's paws got stuck in drip regulator thing, leaving the Cat stuck hanging for almost an hour until I heard the door of my neighbor shutting when she got home.
Now 22 years old, Naked from knees up, Had to call My attractive 30 year old, school teacher neighbor to use key in flower pot to get in to come free the Cat and cover Me^ !!!

If She didn't start lol at the Cat, and the whole crazy situation, I would've Cried.

Thank you Jane. You save Me^ and that Crazy Cat from a longggg night !!!

Our cat just did this the other night. We were up way later than usual and in the kitchen and Riley comes in and gives my BF this look then starts meowing at him (which he doesn't do often). I asked my BF what his deal was and he said "He wants to go to bed but I'm in it" LOL

This is what happens when I finally get him out of the chair and then mid transfer, he jumps back in and tries to fight me for it (:



Sad part is sometimes he wins the fight (:
