Feline Friday: Sergonomics

April 28th, 2006 by Kimberly

I have a new desk chair in my home office. Sergei, ever solicitous of my health and well-being, feels compelled to study the chair’s ergonomics. When I ask whether he’s finished testing, he acts like I’m not even there.

The Friday Ark has left the building for a three-hour four-day tour. All of the McKittens - but Sasha in particular - will be happy to pad on over to Furry Paws on Sunday for the Carnival of the Cats.

    I have a few of those testers here.
    Nick tests the desk chair in the library.
    Clover and Chloe are doing weight tests on my desk chair.
    Willow tests the lasting comfort of the leather recliner as she sleeps upside down for 10 hours at a time. (Willow is the true definition of “couch potatoe”)
    Rhett tests the chairs at the kitchen table, any of them, during meals, even if empty for only ten seconds.
    Actually, only Scarlett refrains from the chair testing… but this is only because she is so busy maintaining the quality testing of the beds.

    You are such a beautiful kitty! And you test chairs really well too!

    Friday Ark #84

    We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Watch the Exception category for rocks, beer, coffee cups, and….? Alert: The Ark…

    What a handsome fellow! I remember that the desk chair was the first furniture piece that I tested after I came to live with my humans.

    Oh, the beauty that is Sergei!

    Named after Rachmaninoff, no doubt?

    How is he at testing fabric? I used to have a lovely office chair, and then we got kittens.

    What a handsome tux! And I love his name! I have 3 chair testers at my house. … … well, one of them is really just a chair warmer!

    Percy loves the desk chair as well. She gets aggravated if I try to move her before the test is completed.
