Tabi Assembles a Chair

I decided I wanted a comfortable chair to use for reading, knitting, etc. It would also be nice to have an extra seat when we have people over. So I trekked out to Ikea with Matt today (boy was it a trek...we forgot to take directions with us, and Ikea is new enough that it's not on the maps) to look for a chair.

As usually happens with places like Ikea, I found a chair and several other things I wasn't aware that I needed. A large wok for cooking stir fry because the small frying pan we have always overflows. A bag of frozen swedish meatballs. A sheepskin rug for Tabi (really, don't ask).

When we got home, Tabi declared that the new chair was actually hers and that we could take the sheepskin for ourselves.

In fact, she claimed it before it was even completely assembled.


Those people at Ikea are smart folks. Right next to the chairs, we found a big bin of 99 cent fleece "chair protectors" in a rainbow of colors. We chose a Tabi colored one to protect the chair from fur when humans aren't using it (which is frequently, if Tabi has her way).


Finally, Tabi deigned to sit on the rug we chose just for her. In real life, this sits at the feet of the new bouncy rocking chair for tired feet (and kittens).
