Months ago, I thought it would fun to invite Kiya up onto the couch, just to see what her reaction would be.  She was actually pretty confused and looked really uncomfortable because we had never allowed her on the couch before.  Every once in a while after that first time, we’d call her up while we were watching t.v. and she’d snuggle comfortably between us.   But she never attempted to get on the couch unless called.

Then one day, I came home from work and found the couch covered with incriminating evidence–we call it “Kiya fur.”  It was everywhere, and our black leather couch had a nice, round, and very warm indentation in one of the cushions.  She had apparently made herself very comfortable while we were away for the day!  We scolded her and figured that would be the end of it.

Well, we were very wrong!  Every other day or so, I’d come home and see Kiya on her bed, looking very guilty.  Then I’d find the ‘evidence’ all over the same couch cushion.  We decided to take action and put magazines all over the couch before leaving for work every morning.  That worked for a while, until she realized all she had to do to get her favorite napping spot back was to move the magazine aside.  Yes, she did.  She moved the magazine aside.

I concede defeat.  I’ve given up on trying to keep her off the couch while we’re away.  I figure she’s gotta be so completely bored, we might as well let her be cozy.   Dog wins.
