How comfortable are you when posting on COA?? Options

[Clan Chattan]

Just to get some idea where every one is sitting when posting on COA and how comfortable are you??
Here is my "puter" room.A spare bedroom re organised and sliding door added and an enclosed deck built for HRH Alex.He does not like being out there on his own so he can see me if I am playing 'puters.

You are well set up their Elaine. Isn't it great how your baby must see Mum and doesn't like being outside on his own. He loves his Mummy

[deechardonnay]

That looks like a great set up.

[fleabag]

I'm in "the girls" room ,we have our telly ..for Ruby , Fluff is asleep on the monitor as usual ,the scratching post is behind me, I have a spare chair beside me with a folded doona on it in case a cat needs to curl up, two water bowls and bowl of dry food and cat toys scattered around...not sure I'm comfortable but I know they are ...giggle ...
Alex has all mod cons ...lol

[Rislani]

That all depends on WHERE I am posting from.

AT HOME: Not at all comfy. The chair is broken and leans forward and your butt goes either numb or constantly slipps off the chair

AT WORK: fairly comfy.....but not overly warm now it's getting cooler.....

[loriandgray]

Oh poor Mel. Use a chair from the dining table at home

[Rislani]

I can't be bothered dragging it from one end of the house to the other - so I just keep my eye out on freecycle in the hope someone is gettign rid of a proper office chair in the nearish future and I can get rid of it! lol

[loriandgray]

I haven't got a proper office chair either. An outside plastic one that makes my bum cold in the winter

[deechardonnay]

I have a nice comfy high back leather chair.
But Chardy likes it too, so it's a fight who gets it first.

[Shantaleah]

I had a splurge just recently & brought myself a lovley
corner desk for the puta... and a high back leather
"executives" chair !!!

The chair got even better last week when my delivery from
Deals Direct arrived !!!

A 6 point chair massage mat... it even has a heater in the
butt bit !!!!

[kiska]

Wow, Char! this is luxury... ;-)
I mainly post from work, visiting site every now and then... at home in the evenings sometimes with Yuki on my lap and Lu-Lu is trying to fit on top occasionally but she soon realises that there is not enough space for all... ;-)

[Akasha]

If I had a camera I would share a pic too. I have one of those black leather exec chairs too, but mine is from target so I doubt that its real leather lol. When I used to have my old computer screen Salem used to sit on top of it and chase the mouse arrow with her paw while I tried to work on the puter. Now she sits at my feet with Venus on the desk Hubby sits next to me in one of our old dining room chairs which doubles as my foot rest. Soon I will be posting from work when I get the time too. Finally got a computer at work yesterday.

[loriandgray]

Yay - A computer at work

[mymeezerisarthur]

I have a standard desk with an office chair that I bought for $5 from the op shop. Arthie likes to come and either sit on my shoulder, or wedge himself between my back and the chair back to get all cozy and warm. Then he insists on walking on both of my printers and bats the speakers if he doesn't like the noise.

I love those pictures of your Alex, Elaine.

[Clan Chattan]

Alex was not too impressed when I changed computers.He found the Mac even for him difficult to perch on.He loved to sleep on top of the old monitor.
Arthie, send some more photos, you are such a handsome lad.

Elaine and Alex Siamese.

Salem used to have a bad habbit of jumping on top of the back of my exec chair behind my head. And then she used to leap onto my old computer from there. Then one day I bought a new computer with a LCD screen. Little Salem is one fast cat and before I could stop her, she leaped from the chair to the top of the lcd screen thinking she could land safely on it like the old computer moniter. Well next thing I new the lcd screen and Salem both went flying over the other side of the desk. Lmao, Salem was ok but quite shaken up by it and my computer screen was fine. I thought ok, she knows now, she won`t do it again, another month later she does it again, same thing she was fine but a bit shaken but now my screen has a chip out of it and a line of blue goes through my screen. Silly girl, it was so funny but I hope she has learnt her lesson now and doesn`t do it again .

[deechardonnay]

Oh, poor Salem. (And poor screen, LOL)

I have an LCD screen also, and both Chardy and Samson get behind it sometimes, it's on the corner so there is enough room behind.

Or they prance back and forwards past the screen to get my attention.

But most of the time they sit or sleep beside me on my right, which is where the window is.
Before I got Samson, I would open the window and Chardy would sit out on the window sill, she loved it out there. But I am not game enough to open it now with Samson, so they have to make do with looking out the window.

I also have one of those cat boxes that came off a scratching post, I have sit it on the desk where they can be inside and still see out the window. Samson has taken this as his own and he is usually asleep inside or on top.

[loriandgray]

Moe has his own chair next to me. It is one of those fold up jobs with a hole for a stubby lol. He has a sheet on it. If anyone sits in it he is not happy lol.

Haven't taught him to use the stubbie holder yet

[Kashmir and Jasmine]

I have a computer nook. Which I can push the chair in and slide the door across and it dissapears. I have to be carefull because the girld like the heat from the HUGE old 19" monitor and I could lock them in. I stole an office chair from work which reclines and sometime sit with my feet on the wall and my wireless keyboard on my lap. The girls no matter where the key board is cant resist doing a little typing of their own!

[hungryagain]

Thats a great set up elaine,
LOL Im set up in the kitchen alas the name "hungryagain"
hmmm " anyone up for a cuppa !!!!

[loriandgray]

Lol - in the kitchen - very handy

[Herbert]

I built a platform attached to the side of my PC chair-on-rollers. Then I placed a cat basket onto it.

Muffin often jumps into it to sleep and be near me.

Strange thing though: She'll be fast asleep, and I'll go to another room for just a minute or two, and then when I return I'll find she's 'fast asleep' - eyes closed - but now sprawled out on my chair...

And then she'll pretend she doesn't hear my polite coughing and 'hurrumphing' that she should return to her basket. Her eyes remain closed.... whereas ordinarily they'll jerk wide open at the sound of a pin dropping.

So, what can I do but humour her?

She gets squeezed up between my bum and the backrest - lying there half squashed like a mince pate in a hamburger.

Good little back warmer - especially now the winter's coming on.

[fleabag]

Oh yes Herbert ..I know that trick..I get up to go to the dunny in the middle of the night, leaving the girls fast asleep ..YEAH RIGHT ..come back and MY spot is now full of cat ..esp the bossy one on my pillow...

[Mymphf]

Mini isn't called 'Mz Mini Spot Stealer' for nothing

[Panda Azura]

I usually post from my amazingly comfy couch, next to the heater :P

The advantages of having a laptop and an iPad :D

[lynh]

I work from home with a computer supplied by my employer and a fairly good quality but very old office chair, so I'm pretty comfy, as my boss likes to ensure we follow all the "rules" for typists. My workstation is quite an unusual grey laminate and metal one from Ikea which I bought a few years ago. It's even got curtains to "close" the workstation; unfortunately the cats try to climb them so they've never been closed.

Most of the posters on this thread I've not seen posts from before, and boy there are some beautiful cats in the avatars!!

Dee, is Chardonnay a tortie point Ragdoll? What ever she is, she's just gorgeous. The large pic of Samson didn't come through, so I haven't had a good look at him.

Kashmir and Jasmine are a beautiful pair too!!

Everyone's cats are beautiful. I never get tired of looking at pictures of everyone's cats.

[Heather Sharada]

Love this thread.....I post from mostly my comfie armchair - the wonders of the ipad - or my computer now and then but it is cold there.....lol.

I am well aware of the pinch the spot syndrome.....lol.....X by two.......makes life difficult.

Growing up in a large family, seating positions were hotly contested.

To avoid bickering the rule of our house became: Once you are out you are out. Too bad so sad.

Cats understand this rule better than any.

It was a game of 'musical chairs' every dinner time was it?

And the loser got the scraps off the plates during the washing up?

They know everything we're doing, and where we are, 24/7.
