Lopsided Cat Wishes You to Know He Finds the New Chair Marginally Acceptable
Posted on October 13, 2010 Posted by John Scalzi 23 Comments
I mean, no, it’s not a bed made from the entrails of all the rodents he’s disemboweled over the years, but then, what is? Well, except for the rodent entrail bed I made for him last Christmas. But that didn’t last; items like that never do. Until I make him another, this new chair will do just fine.
That makes me sleepy just looking at him.
I, for one, am glad to see the new chair getting used in the proper manner.
Lopsided cat has the ability to shed on any surface, but upchucking a hairball on white chair is the ultimate fun.
Daaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww
That fabric is Scotchguarded, right? Because if it’s not the blood of people who try to move him from that spot is going to stain it.
That reminds me: really looking forward to Zeus’s next big art installation, “New Office Chair Upholstery — Clawtastrophe in White.”
Why make a rodent entrail bed when you can always just buy one on Ebay?
Everyone knows the secret ingredient to a successful rodent entrail bed is love, Romeo. And you can’t get that on eBay. Well, you can, but then you have to get it in bulk, and where do you put the rest of it?
I hear that Etsy has handcrafted rodent entrail beds with extra love on the side.
They sell love on Ebay?!? I thought only Craig’s List had that.
John Hope you have a really strong vacuum, one of those sticky roller things and a lint brush or that chair will become a very nice shade of fur. Our “cat chair” has not been it’s original color in years.
I keep wanting to ask this, and you’ve probably answered it twelve times already, but I’m not seeing an FAQ…
Why is he called Lopsided Cat?

Answer is here.

Oops, guess I should do a Control Refresh before I make a post that John might have already answered.
O Great Scalzi, how great it is to see a picture of Mighty Lopsided Cat having a no doubt well deserved rest after performing Important Labors On Her Behalf.
Notice that we never see similar pictures of you. This is because you perform just about Everything She Demands poorly. Hence no rest of yours is well deserved and certainly not worthy of being recorded for posterity.
Or it could be you have taken to heart the Executive Committee’s prior comments that pictures of you are never acceptable.
We put more weight on the former explanation, but either one works.

Looks like LC has acquired exclusive feline rights to that chair, in perpetuity. Unless, of course, Ghlaghghee asserts similar rights, in which case the case could be tied up in the courts for years.
She prefers the chaise.
Well, I’m glad to hear that. Only the lawyers would have benefited from a long, drawn-out court fight.
I apologize for momentarily being a “Google? What is this thing, ‘the google’?” idiot. I plead temporary insanity. Thanks for giving the link and not the Mallet.
Man, I wish I could get my cat to be happy on a chaise or extra chair. He’s absolutely sure my desk chair is his chair.
Hey, Scalzi,
Good pic of Lopsided Cat.
Did the Lopsided Cat really say “marginally acceptable” when “OK” would do? He seems a cat of few words.
Later, man.

but where’s Zeus’ hangout? and do all three ever curl up together?
That is because the chair is light and he is dark. Get a dark chair and he will be incredibly miffed — or figure out a way to drop only his orange hairs.
