Good to have friends

[susandennis]

Frank came over to see Julio and Biggie. Biggie loves him so much, it's hilarious. Julio is just not a people person. He entertained us non stop but wasn't interested in Frank's overtures. I wanted to get his weight and Frank picked him up so gently and kindly that he didn't even sprint once let go. But he was busy busy busy all afternoon.

He's nearly four pounds!! He was 2.9 on July 27 and 3.2 on August 8 and 3.9 today!

Frank also helped me move furniture. I was going to wait until my brother came but then I thought ... probably I will hate it, so I'll get my brother to help me move it all back.

Here's what it was when I first decided to move stuff:



Then I moved the white chair to see how that would work:



Today, we did this:



I have some clean up to do and without the cat toy store, it will probably look very different but... you know what? I don't hate it.

I'm going to live with it and see.

Biggie is here resting up atop his cabinet and Julio is passed out in the closet. Good day for all.

Oh wow - that definitely opens things up!

I actually like the set up in the middle picture although I can see the benefit (to the cats) of having the cat tree near the window in the last picture. Whatever, it definitely is much better with regards being less cluttered.

Looks good in the new arrangement. I dig the purple couch in front of the fireplace.

I was the one who suggested the couch placement and because I'm bias I have to say I like it in front of the fireplace, the only thing throwing it off some, is that the couch depth is deeper than I thought and that's throwing off the balance of your livingroom a little. Because I'm sure you want to keep your red chair(command central) where it is, there isn't really too many other places for your couch other then on the window wall or right next to your red chair against the wall. Maybe your brother will come up with other ideas and it's nice that with changing it around now that you have time before your brother gets here to decide if you like it :)

Yeah, it's a fat sucker but I thought it was worth a try. Probably more changes to come. Glad you came back to look.

Ah, interesting! it does look like it opened up the space quite a bit! Nice.
