Cute story.

My mom has an antique loveseat that she had redone and prefers that her long haired ragdoll not sit on it, which he, of course, prefers to do. So she solved the problem by putting a huge stuffed dog on it so there's no room for him. Covers the loveseat so you can't really see it, but at least it's red velvet seat isn't covered in long white cat hair (like the rest of the house!)
