Cats and the New Leather!

We are making progress with getting settled. We picked out furniture last week in Searcy, and the leather sectional and entertainment cabinet arrived Friday. The TV is coming tomorrow, so Greg has worked on getting all the wires and cords ready. The rest of the furniture will come this Friday, and then we can retire the card table and chairs for awhile.

Mabel and Lucy love the carpeted stairs and lie there quite often. They both love leather, and each has her own "purse" - an old leather purse belonging to our moms... a black one for Lucy and a white one for Mabel (although sometimes they trade!) - and they will spend hours on those purses. When Mabel discovered the new leather sectional, she went nuts, writhing and rubbing and wallowing on it, and inhaling the fragrance of the leather. It is very soft and the cushions are plush, and Mabel loves to lie on the back cushions and sort of sink into them.

Lucy has been on the couch, but she is not as impressed - yet! She is still pretty spooked from all the people coming in and out for work and deliveries. We know she will enjoy it once she gets her bearings better. She doesn't look spooked in the pictures, does she?!
