My cats always sit where I sit and I have 2 couches in my livingroom. The couch in front of the TV is where we 3 always park our butts and it is covered with an old comforter which in turn is covered with cat hair. The comforter gets washed every other week. Speckles has her favourite chair also and it has a throw over top.

Other than that they are allowed to go anywhere except the kitchen which is a small galley kitchen with an entrance but no exit. When I first moved in to the condo I stepped on Speckles tail a few times so now they are trained.

Being older cats they've never shown any interest in jumping up on dressers or doors...they are happy in their own space at either end of the couch, leaving me a couple of square inches in the middle for my butt. Can you relate??

As for hair, I don't care either. Since all my friends are pet-parents just like me it's part of the deal. If you don't like to get pet hair on you then don't come over....
