Yesterday, Julie posted about dogs on the furniture, and today I've decided that cats should have equal time. I happen to have two: Mr. Darcy and Lizzie Bennet (clearly I have a bit of a thing for Jane Austen. I've read Pride and Prejudice every year since I was 13. But enough about that for now).
My cats more or less have free reign of the house – chairs, sofas, beds, and such. But being fairly well-mannered felines (dare I say gracious?), they've never explored the kitchen counters and know they're not allowed on the dining room table. Thus imagine my surprise when I received an email with the above image from a photographer who had been shooting in my house while I was at the office. There was my Mr. Darcy, posing so handsomely on the dining room table, fully aware that he was defying house rules and no doubt laughing about it on the inside. Was he lured with catnip or is this how Mr. Darcy really hangs out when we're not at home? Unfortunately both he and the photographer are too proud to tell.
