I can show you a much beloved clawed sofa and loveseat that two wonderful kitties played hide and go seek in. I will never part with them.

I’m glad this story had a happy ending. Thank you for the ping.

"they were delighted with the purchase except for the fact it had a cat inside"

A little spare change, a comb, a cat...what did they expect from a used sofa?

Cats. If they’re not a big part of our lives, they strive to be.

They make themselves famous with their antics and accidents.

This little fellow managed to make the national news in the UK and here we have picked up and published the story on FR.

Hold onto that cat. He looks like he's ready to make a call to Goodwill to donate an old lumpy mattress, if they will do the pick up at 3 AM.
