07/16/2021 – The Chair Routine

Once upon a time, we had a single somewhat-padded computer desk chair, and an orange fluffy cat who believed it was bought specifically for her. It’s not a fancy chair by any means; cost us about fifty bucks a few years ago. Dad mostly uses this chair because, for the last almost year and a half and until tomorrow, he’s been working his near-minimum wage job from home using a work computer.

We also have a metal folding chair that Mom uses with our home computer, which, because of her heavy work schedule, is only on weekends and that’s when Dad is working. Neither Pia or Dad likes the folding chair and neither will sit on it. Mom doesn’t mind using the hard folding chair when she needs to use the home computer but from time-to-time, Mom thinks maybe some padding back there would feel nice. But that always comes with a price.

This fluffy orange cat, oh, let’s call her . . . Pia, and as we’ve already mentioned, believes this somewhat padded computer chair is hers. Pia doesn’t bother Dad when he’s using the computer chair. Maybe it’s because Dad takes up the entire chair. Maybe it’s because she senses Dad is way too busy working to put up with Pia’s demands that she’s the one who gets to use the computer chair.

Mom, on the other hand, doesn’t take up the entire computer chair on the occasions she gets to use it, and well, frankly, this is a very, very cute fluffy cat. But not wanting to spoil anyone, Mom stays steadfast in using the computer chair and ignoring that sweet gingery face, even through all the demands.

Which makes Pia unhappy, but not undetermined.

Really now, if you were using the computer and the computer chair and saw this staring face, nonstop for half an hour, this insistent, begging, fluffy face emitting occasional soft peeps, and you knew you had more than enough room to share, wouldn’t you let her have the chair?

Okay, good enough! That’s exactly what Mom said and so, rest assure that every single blog post that has been created here for the last few years has had the shared chair approval of one large, fluffy, orange cat named Pia.
