Are you nuts? Of course I cover it...I cover the bed, chair, couch, table, sink....WITH CAT HAIR!!!

I have tried covering the couch, and then decided it was as much of a hassle washing the cover, moving the cover when I sat down, keeping the cover straight..blah blah. I just use one of those rubber sponge things and go over it sometimes (and I do emphasize 'sometimes'). I just don't really care that much. Yup, I wear alot of black...good thing the tuxies match me!

As to Ms. Edwina on the lovely dining table...at least she is almost on the runner! In the summer time, my cats spread all out on top of the table...it gets a nice cross breeze, and the fan over top feels good (I haven't tried it personally, but they seem to like it).

Really, I am more 'turned off' or disgusted by the use of outdoor shoes inside all over, tracking dirt and grime into my house!
