doing anything to correct him, he has put himself to bed. He is usually out here all evening. I miss him. But it is also nice not being his pin cushion. I think he is growing up. What do your pets do when they've been bad?

(34,139 posts)My husband and I found a rocking chair with beautiful lines at a junk store not long after we married. Basically it was just a frame with tatters of leather clinging to it, the wood was almost black. But it had the most gorgeous style, so we bought it - I think it was maybe $30.
We got the wood refinished to a golden oak, and then had it rebuilt for upholstering with a deep burgundy leather. Took it home and my husband's cat got on and tested his claws the first day. The cat's been dead twenty seven years, but his mark remains.
I'll never spend money on another piece of smooth leather furniture. Maybe I'll try suede someday.

And I was a business major and have taken more risks than average.
