Esme the cat continued in her battle against Kiefer’s villianous reign of not allowing cats on the furniture.
Now that she’s conquered the greatest battle of being allowed on the bed, she’s moved on to the lesser pieces of furniture, like Kiefer’s old recliner.
Behold Esme’s throne! Also behold Esme’s Stop-Acting-Like-Paparazzi Look.
Did you want to sit here? Not gonna happen.
Future battles include the following:
- Couch
- Shelves
- Bathtubs
- Sinks
Maybe Kiefer will take some comfort in the fact that at least Ozzy puppy can be trained to not get on the furniture.

Boy, does she have that “don’t mess with me” look or what?
September 17th, 2012 at 6:22 am
Esme invented that look.

All Hail Queen Esme! She does look quite royal sitting there. And very put upon. It’s tough to be a benevolent ruler sometimes.

I just took a photo of my tiny kitty on the table with her head stuffed all the way in my water glass because she thinks I’m obligated to share. Chad says she is not allowed on the table. Buuuuut he’s not here so Norma Jean and I pretty much just do whatever we want.

I love the look! It says “Kiefer who, this is my recliner bizznitch.”
September 13th, 2012 at 10:49 am
I think it was brave of you to ignore Queen Esme in order to write this post. She is clearly not amused.
September 13th, 2012 at 11:45 am
I am in love with this Esme picture! She is so sassy I love her. Bahaha

You forgot counters! We constantly have battles over the counters. Our cat is a counter cruiser, which I try not to think about too much otherwise it completely grosses me out.
September 17th, 2012 at 6:29 am
It’s weird. Esme doesn’t seem to be a counter cat. For now….
September 13th, 2012 at 12:16 pm
There’s not a surface in my home that my cat has not graced…including my head/face when I am lying down.
September 17th, 2012 at 6:29 am
That’s pretty much Esme’s favorite spot: my head.

Esme looks so darn pretty sitting on the throne

My cat has dominated the sink, computer chair and wahing machine!!! Yes, washing machine. He can open the closet and the lid to the washer.
September 17th, 2012 at 6:31 am
Open the closet and lid? Wow! Esme manages closets, but not lids. It cracks me up when she stands on her back legs and reaches her paw up to the doorknob. She knows that’s when she needs to open doors, but alas, she lacks the opposable thumb.

Esme looks so regal! My cat, Sophie has a living room chair that “belongs” to her. If we have a guest and they sit in it, she’ll sit on the floor directly in front of them and stare hatefully! Cats are so funny!

My mom came over last week and sat in Esme’s chair. Esme hopped up on the armrest and sat until my mom got up.

We have kicked the big dog off the bed (mostly) but the little dog remains so that I can usually hear him jump OFF the bed indicating that he is about to shit and if I don’t follow him and let him out he will do it on the living room floor. The kitty sleeps with us and rotates. Last night it was my pillow. Snickers licked my face for 15 minutes between 2:30 and 2:45 am. I didn’t have the heart to push her away because obviously she loves me (or she likes the taste of Olay).
September 17th, 2012 at 6:32 am
Awww…Snickers. I think I’ve told you before but I love that name.
Also, I use Olay, too.

Ah, yes, The Look. I’m familiar with The Look: http://www.flickr.com/photos/laurasbadideas/7984817472/in/photostream/

I tried to post this comment on your Flickr pic, but I don’t know if it worked.
Your cat’s look is better. You win!
September 18th, 2012 at 2:56 am
Yay! I win!
Flickr apparently hates one or both of us, because your comment didn’t go through.
September 14th, 2012 at 8:10 am
Omg, I can’t get over how much our cats look like each other. Even down to the purple collar.
September 17th, 2012 at 6:35 am
If Esme wasn’t fixed, they could have beautiful babies.
September 14th, 2012 at 9:56 am
Esme totally has the Queen of Sheba look down.
September 15th, 2012 at 12:42 am
So funny! Esme is looking awfully smug in that pic.
September 15th, 2012 at 1:38 pm
I bow to her greatness.
