Couch Potato Caturday – Hanging Out With Harley
A couple days ago for Wordless Wednesday I posted several pictures of the gang “letting it all hang out.” It consisted of them in various stages of relaxation with their adorable bodies hanging off one of our cat condos as well as the kitchen counter. It also showcased a picture of Zoey looking her ever dignified self, as she refuses to partake in such crude behavior. Conspicuously missing was Harley as some of you pointed out in the comments.

The cats getting ready to claim their spots for a day of cat condo napping and relaxing. This was back when Jazz was with us – he wasn’t a “let it all hang out” kind of cat, but he did love to climb high and curl up in a ball for his nap.
Well, truth be told, I didn’t even have to scour through my thousands of cat images to find out the reason why. Simply put, our Harley is a couch potato. With the exception of a brief time span when she was a kitten and actually enjoyed jumping to bat at a feather toy and the inexplicable time she jumped up into the attic rafters when we gutted our kitchen for renovations (for full details on that incident, you can read all about it in The Chronicles of Zee & Zoey) she has been a tried and true low-dwelling, non-jumping, non-climbing cat.
So the reason that we do not have one single picture of her on a cat condo or the kitchen counter or any place higher than two feet is because she has never been there. Ever. The highest mountain she has climbed is to the top of the bed and that is that. She will also frequent the couch or a basket on the floor, but as you can see from the pictures to follow, she still can let it all hang out with the best of them! Whoo hoo – you go Harley!
How about you? Any couch potato kitties in your house?
Oh, and P.S., while Zoey claims to be our little miss refined, high and mighty diva, we uncovered the truth… when she was just a kitten at 4 months old, she is the one that taught Harley how to let it all hang out and relax!!! See for yourself…



























We actually call Maxwell a Ground Pounder, but Couch Potato works, too. We think he avoids heights because he has no eardrum in one ear, and his middle ear (balance) is open to the wide world.
Zoey, we missed the earlier photo but this one is stunning. Regal indeed!
Ooh, I love those pictures where everything ‘hangs’. Cats seem to be trained in this 🙂 Have a lovely week.
