The sofa and her chair are the only places she gets "up" on anymore, other that the few times now and then that she gets up on the perch. I think she gets up there just to prove to herself that she CAN still do it. She can control her front legs pretty good but her back legs are no good for her "landings" and they hit pretty hard. I agree, this wouldn't work everywhere but she gets in her recliner a lot, it is her favorite place to sleep it is higher than the sofa. That is why it is there.

Amy hasn't gotten in the chair since I put this down, THAT is where she lays, rests and sleepy so far.

I also have another motive for getting this.... There are nights I can't sleep and I just get up and come in here and lay on the floor with them. I have tried this out for comfort and size and it is a great FIT! I need to make several more covers for it so I can change them often.
