The beauty of furniture is in the memories it holds of the loved ones who occupied it. Your understanding of life and the expression you give it make your posts a treasure.
May Mr Pussy grace your furniture and your life for many years to come.

Lovely piece about Mr Pussy and the chair. I think this looks like a Parker Knoll, quite possibly a Penshurst model. I’m doing some research into Parker Knoll, and am collecting stories about memories of Parker Knoll furniture so found this so interesting and moving.

As I sit and write this comment, my black & white cat ‘Scruffy’ luxuriates in my padded leather swivel office chair with comfy cushion, whilst I perch on a buttock deadening folding wooden version! Oh well!!

Have identical style chair ( in green stripe ) which belonged to my late mother and identical black cat called Rolf ! We race each other for occupancy of said chair and Rolf usually wins. Your Mr Pussy posts are delightful and I look forward to hearing more about his ” domestic” arrangements .

Only loosely related to this blog post by virtue of the William Morris fabric, but the William Morris museum (a former home of Morris) in Walthamstow, East London, recently underwent a huge renovation and is a must see for anyone interested in Morris.

Dogs have owners – cats have staff!

From a staff member, and happy to be one.

I’m always so pleased to see a post about Mr Pussy but oh dear, the picture of him curled up in the chair, then of the empty chair underneath did make me catch my breath..

Thank you for this beautiful, moving post. At a time when my widowed mother has been moving into a smaller house and we’ve been having to say goodbye to some much-loved furniture, this really struck a chord.

Every new Mr Pussy post is a joy to read and smile over…how astute your observations of cat-ness are. But, Gentle Author, when you DO post a new chapter in the life of this stunningly handsome feline, I am compelled to scroll down and re-read each previous post in order to sop up the tidbits this creature has put on offer, and which you have so enchantingly recorded. So thank you, and Mr Pussy, of course, for allowing me to get nothing done for the good part of an hour.

I spent the day at kelmscott today . I am sure that mr Morris would greatly approved of Mr Pussy sleeping on his willow pattern fabric .
