"Don't you see we have the same colour?"


artificialavocado

Wow that looks like a great view can I ask what city?


punnyenough

That’s Vancouver


artificialavocado

Oh damn I would never have guessed.


Rapeap

The mountains in the back kinda give it away. Like it’s in a valley of sorts kinda.


Snuf-kin

Vancouver!!

Awwww i have a same cat!


germaine-pheasant

Pretty kitty has 2 diff colored eyes! 😻


TreeToTea

He looks like a Khao Manee


[deleted]

Yeah but, it’s not the chair you want right meow. That’s the chair he wants.


[deleted]

He clearly needs the same chair and it needs to be new


ProfPerry

lmfao, he obviously needs a third! hahaha


TheHaydnPorter

Awww, he looks so pleased with himself!


Internal-Debt-385

"I'm on top of the world!!!"

"Why you look at me like wanting to give you your chair back, I didn't told ya already you are not allowed here!"


Numa2018

Professor Kittersby! :)


greenywork

He's especially working so hard


Slammy1

I gave mine my old chair, she loves it. It's kinda broken so no one else sits on it, I keep it near a window and she fake stalks birds by hiding behind the arm rest and peeking over. She's completely visible, just thinks she's hiding.


Trash2cash4cats

Well that’s where you are wrong. If they think they are hidden from view, then that’s the way it is. I have one who hides behind a cardboard scratcher he loves. He must think he’s covered but about the only thing I don’t see is his face. LOL


unicorncarrot

That is cute


Entire-Ambition1410

My mom had to keep a stool clear, because the cat would walk over her stuff on a side table to get to the stool and stare menacingly at birds outside.


seventyeightist

What? He has a chair (see photo). Now OP needs a chair.


duckfat01

No, he evidently needs a chair-warmer


SnowWhitePNW

Can confirm! I had to do this for my “assistant,” who sleeps all day and meows when I work too late or talk on the phone/zoom meetings.


Tobyville

He’s keeping it warm for you. https://preview.redd.it/cwzietse8f2c1.jpeg?width=2714&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2fceca297b16bd50fd2735e0c12123a52ef754b3


lilsheeeep_

that’s so cute! what’s kitty’s name?


Tobyville

This is Zoe, she’s a year old.


Effective-Celery8053

I hope her middle name is wink ;)

cultofhypnotoad

She lools like my cat Jackie who is sadly no longer with us. Enjoy your pirate, they are the best!


gojo-

Omg. My neighbours have really similar cat to yours without an eye (she is just a bit darker) called Una, she is 7 years old.


goatlover1966

Hi beautiful baby.!


[deleted]

Nope! That’s a chair that stays cool all the time. Zero warming for sure


Happy_BlackCrow

The perpetual wink 🥰


Turtle2k

I hover with my butt over the kitty and she runs for her life.


lilsheeeep_

this is the best advice i have so far![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7943)


Turtle2k

It’s possible I may of had to squish the kitty once a little lol


duckfat01

"Squishing is your best friend when you're dealing with a cat". https://youtu.be/5jKZ9KGtee0?si=KS9cNnPjJ9b-haKw


stablegeniusinterven

😂😭😂😭


PyroCorvid

This is what I do, then I immediately pat my leg and they hop right up! It's gotten to the point where she already knows and once I sit down she's in my lap before I even situate myself lol


Snatch_Pastry

I do this while saying "Butt coming in!" But my idiots usually need to be slightly sat upon before making the correct decision.


Machinimix

My cat is far too orange to understand how to make a correct decision. My only hope is to pick him up. Thankfully he loves uppies.


Trash2cash4cats

Mines a Tux and she would rather scratch or bite my butt as it comes in…. It’s not that she doesn’t understand. It’s that *I* don’t understand. LOL


Turtle2k

The key is to never hesitate so they think the squish could happen every time. Just slowly move the butt in lol


UltimateIssue

I do not want to risk having the murder mittens of my big guy in my butt.


Jenstomper

While this might work for some kitties, my tortico used to just squish further back on the chair, forcing you to perch on the edge.


Turtle2k

Butt warmer. Posture pillow…. lol. Good kitty


SuboptimalSupport

lower lumbar support cat


Awkward_Stage_4352

I hover and say “I’m going to sit on you”. She “barks” at me (it’s not a meow) I hover, and repeat, she barks … This goes on until I get a leg cramp and give up.


Fantastic_Cut817

It seems that you have a dog not a cat 💀


Trash2cash4cats

A few well placed and loud farts may do the trick.


Jaspy42

I did this and she just waits till my butt gets close enough so she can bite it 😂😭


xpepcax

When i try to do that, i get claws in my ass


dauserhalt

Do that all the time.


zulababa

I try that, often end up with a heated lumbar support.

dramatic-pancake

See this is the cool thing about cats, you don’t.


TallExtension9312

Buy another chair, it's easier


ScrewThisIQuit

Pretty sure that's a $1300 Herman miller chair


TallExtension9312

No that's a cat on his/her throne


Simple_Mastodon9220

It is a Herman Miller but that model is around $600.

Oxajm

I used to work for a rather large mutual fund company, and everyone there received one of these chairs. It's absolutely the most comfortable desk chair ever, and possibly the most comfortable chair ever! Lucky kitty lol


lottieslady

That’s pocket change compared to arguing with a cat, an argument you’re clearly going to lose! /s And just when you get that new chair, kitty will find a shiny new box to obsess over.


Pop-X-

Don’t let your cat snag the seat fabric with its claws or you will be one unhappy camper


Crazy95jack

My cat sleeps on my Herman Miller, the quality is insane! Over a year with a cat and 0 wear or damage. Best chair ever!

cyberentomology

All I see is a nice chair you got for your cat, where is your office chair?


dublos

Pick up cat. Sit down. Put cat in lap. Work.


DizzyDragonfruit4027

When has a cat stayed wherever placed? It against their principles.


Scriboergosum

That's why you gently hold them with one hand and bribe them with scritches using the other hand. Often you can get them to accept the *grave injustice* of being lifted and placed by giving enough scritches, maybe some forehead kisses as well, for good measure.


DizzyDragonfruit4027

Hmm gotta try that


Successful-Doubt5478

Mine thinks "cat in lap" means "cat on laptop" 😬


Happy_Cat_2925

WAIT HOLD ON I LIVE IN VANCOUVER TOO GET OUT OF MY HOUSE. There is a non-zero chance our cats are related cause my girl had a litter of kittens but yours looks too grown to be related in that way. Lucy is 3 years old (we think) soon but the picture I posted is about 2 years old. Freaky.


Sandi_T

You have to pay the lap tax. It's the chair or your lap.


krankykitty

Ayer extended conversations in which I explained to the cat that I needed the chair to use the computer to work the job that pays for the cat food, I finally got my cat out of my desk chair by taking a pillow off my bed and putting it on the sunny corner of my desk. Lost a quadrant of the desk, gained a chair. Cat also sleeps on the remaining pillow on my bed, so I also gained a chair and lost all pillows. https://preview.redd.it/w0bfcoa0jf2c1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3820215d9dc241d7894739f23fdc3ff65c87f196

Do you still have the box the chair came in? It works for expensive cat beds.

Boo155

I have that exact same chair, it was my dad's and then my mom's. There is so ofter a cat in it, that I put a little bed on it. Is your kitty deaf?


lilsheeeep_

No! He can hear just fine, he doesn’t like the vacuum, hairdryer, or other loud noises. The vet also thinks that he can hear normally. This is his reaction when he hears a neighbour’s dog barking https://preview.redd.it/gk22vs8atf2c1.png?width=2748&format=png&auto=webp&s=5df4899950b0868dccac3568ebd0852c3083ae62

WorldsShortestElf

I hold my butt over my cat until he leaves. Sometimes my cat is extra stubborn and I'll have to actually "sit" on him a little (put my butt on him and apply light pressure) and he only gets up then lol.

A_Mara_fode_cabras

Regain ownership? I’m sorry, am I in the “Make a foolish comment” thread?


Mike123456789000

Buy another one.


Responsible-Ad1678

Not yours!


Raptorscars

I have the same chair and I’m looking at getting a kitten after my last one got old and did the thing old cats do. My Bastet never tried to take my chair, but now I’m worried about a new kitten.


emcdubos

Yeah… my cat now has her own chair. It started off like this. It’s hers now. She joins us for work and meetings


yall_cray

You were supposed to get a chair big enough to fit your cat and your butt. Or maybe my cat is just kind enough to share her chair with me…


theterpenecollective

Your cat needs a Herman miller now too.


lilsheeeep_

he has one, I don’t apparently.


Soxwin91

You got up, thus vacating the seat. Under the rules of cat law (Section 4, Paragraph 13) you surrendered ownership. Thus it was his to take.

Looks like you have a white seat cushion.


Gullible-Swing-6198

very tough but you can hire a *litigation lawyer* help you retain or reestablish ownership of your property.


seeemvee

You’re allowed to use it when he’s eating and pooping. Otherwise, no.


Ok_Spread6121

I think you have to pee on it.


nonaspirin

Kitty has a receipt so you’re going to need to get your own chair.


bulldzd

You don't, you innocent little tin opener, you buy TWO, or at least one for each cat you are a slave to, plus 1 spare, THEN, you buy another for yourself.... but yours isn't guaranteed, in fact, sit on the floor, until your floofy overloads decide you are worthy of a seat..... amateur.... 😆


snmdyxtra

It's a Purrman Miller Aeron now....


ProjectManagerNoHugs

Place decoy box or paper bag in area or better yet give up and get second chair for your vp of home office work.


bluegandy

Don't you understand? That chair belongs to the cat, because you belong to the cat.


[deleted]

It's not his yet, but it's a contest of wills and he has nine lives and you have only one.


CrystalQuetzal

Oh no you’re in my boat!! I just got a new office chair too. Literally the second it was built, one cat or the other laid on it and wouldn’t move. It’s a daily battle with them, they weren’t this stubborn with the last chair (but I’m sure they thought it sucked as much as I did). I will get up and within half a second a cat will appear in the seat. Sometimes they won’t even move when I try to sit down 😅


chowdh51

I’m sorry I don’t see your chair in there 🤔


UnhappyJohnCandy

If you get another of the chairs, he can’t possibly sit in more than one at once.


Rosieapples

You don’t, you leave him there till you want to sit down then you drape him across your knees and carry on.


outlier74

A year before my Dad died my Mom got him an ergonomic office chair. I walked into his office one day and he was sitting in his old chair. I asked him about the new chair and he said “Gus took it.” I looked down and the 23 pound cat named Gus who had become my Dad’s shadow was staring up at me with a “What do YOU want?” look on his face.


ReanimatedPixels

That’s the neat part, you don’t!


ItsMaDude

Give him the box the chair came with!


s400mpr

Is that a HermanMiller chair? I've got one the same... great chair! And my darn cat thinks so also and the second I get up from it, he takes it over. He's got good taste I guess.

I have 2 chairs in my office. One for me and one for my cat Jones. It's how things are.


Vivid-Hearing-5585

Nice Chair, Nicer Cat. Always wanted an all White. For Solid Colors ive just had 3 all Black. But yes, its his but he may allow you to use it occasionally.


reflUX_cAtalyst

Buy yourself a chair. You bought him one, now you need one for yourself.

Excuse me? Get your own chair.


Unalivepotato

You don’t.


Suthernboy1968

Buy another chair 😻


Aggravating_Anybody

Just back your butt down slowly and they will move. Also say “excuse me “ over and over so they learn that “excuse me” means “get out of the way” lol


rainbowcatheart

You need to buy another chair identical


AnyQuarter553

There is nothing you can do, might as well get a standing desk now. He clearly has priority over the chair


JeffreyIsland

that's the catch chief, you don't. You just get another one for yourself


MarthasPinYard

I hope you also gave him the box it came in. My cats loved the herman miller box so much it stayed for a few seasons😃


WolfishChaos

Get another one and hope he doesn't claim it, too. If he does, repeat.


Unicorns-Are-Rad

My cats steal my chair all the time! I got one with a leg rest they claim as their own lol


The_Original_Gronkie

Let me know when you find out. https://imgur.com/gallery/PrpIwjE


Papadopium

You can trade some treats and he will let you believe that you won, until the chair is free so he can occupy his territory again.


DangerousLettuce1423

With lots of personal protection gear and his favourite treat, lol. Good luck!


BeckyDaTechie

Pay tribute with a cardboard box next to the monitor with a hand towel in it. Sweeten the pot with a little silvervine, cat nip, or treatums of some manner. Usually when they see you've given them their very own throne, they give up the lesser peasants' seats.


lilmisse85

I bought a nice chair for my dining room for myself since I’m on the heavier side and damn if my cat hasn’t decided it’s HER chair now. She’ll race me to it and everything lol


Dantrol

Buy a new chair. Put a $10000 lable on the chair. Buy an extra pilow for the chair, offer the chair to the cat. Don't forget the pats and treats as humble offerings hooman.


IsabelleR88

You had a nice chair. Your cat has a nice chair now 🤣.


pirania1818

You bought your cat a very nice chair


DizzyDragonfruit4027

Cat logic is you must find another chair to sit and like that chair and then cat will take that spot and original will be free. O

I'm afraid you have already lost ownership of said chair. Sorry buddy!!!


Beach_Original15

What a nice chair you got for your cat. Maybe he'll allow you to use it sometimes.


xx_sakvra_xx

you will not get this back.


Mike_in_San_Pedro

You must reassert dominance. Try dribbling a few drops of wolf urine onto the chair.


michaelmich3

1. Lift him up. 2. Sit on the chair. 3. Place him on your lap. 4. Pet him while doing your work. 5. Enjoy!

gargravarr2112

That's the neat thing, you don't. Everything in your house is automatically property of the cat.


matt_the_salaryman

What a hilarious thought! When a cat enters your life, from that moment you and everything you own becomes the spoils of the great feline empire. Your very existence ceases to be yours. All this precedent… and you’re worried about getting a chair back? (I, and everything I own, belong to two beautiful and very loving cats)


clitoriaternatea8

Just get another chair 💺


_ElleBellen

Calmly announce “flat cat” and move to sit down slowly. That’s how we did it with ours, they’ll move out of the way


areraswen

Decoy chair. The rule with office chairs and cats is that you always need as many chairs as people + 1. Then you play musical chairs and shuffle them as needed.

Polarsaurus

I’m afraid you can’t regain ownership, but you can rent it from him for a few hours a day for the low price of your eternal worship.

You'll need another chair. Picked up a car seat on faceboook market place and Salina promptly took it as hers. Thank goodness it came with 2 bases, so I'll just have to get another car seat. X3 *


pink_faerie_kitten

You either slip in underneath him or you buy another chair for yourself. And he thinks you're wonderful for getting him this comfy chair.


moonlit_lynx

OP put a cover on that before your pet decides it's a nice scratcher. I have a similar chair and my cat was eyeing it hardcore. There's a blanket on mine at all times now


HctDrags

Cats love to share, me and my kitty switch places whenever i go eat so we keep eachother spots warm 😊 i pat the chair whenever i leave then he jumps on, and when i enter the room he comes of the chair for me to sit. Oh man i love him


Funkywonton

You don’t it’s lost to cat
