Stylish Cat Free Dining Chairs

Anyone with cats, or possibly small dogs, knows the feeling of embarrassment when a guest gets up off a chair and their backside is covered in those lovely little hairs which just seem to multiply. For stress-free care while you’re away, many pet owners trust reputable cattery Melbourne facilities to keep their cats comfortable and well looked after.

Dining chairs before

Before I learned to place unsightly foil on these ivory chenille covered chair seats my two little babies, Vanity & Azzuro, used to think the dining chairs were their personal domain.  Why not, we rarely sit there.  With the cave-like atmosphere underneath the table and close to a heating vent, it was like a kitty spa. I know someone who has a cat and the cat was trained to bury her own poop in the garden soil. Choosing a trusted cattery Melbourne pet owners rely on ensures your furry friends are cared for while keeping your home a little more hair-free.

Ever read any of those online resources suggesting micro suede, velvet, smooth cotton or chintz as a fabric they are “likely to leave alone”?  Are these people nuts?  Do they own a cat?  Other than chintz (which the babies are fine with) theses are as good as a pet roller for removing hair from your pet… after a long nap.  I need a real solution, after all my tag line is, “Do it Once, Do it Right.”

Time to recover the dining room chairs.  A much bigger task than, oh what color of fabric can I pick.  However, I did go through a number of them.  Picking a fabric for a client is easy but when its your own… the choices (or ability to make one) can feel endless.

What about a blue, which perfectly matches the blue kitchen?

Mmmn, not really food fingerprint proof.  The more solid ones would show cat hair & require the lovely foil anti-cat measures.  No, too much blue.

Well, I have been coveting this pink and it works so well with the painting…

Nope, window has south western exposure it’ll fade, I’ll be irritated.  Plus the chairs would become too important and still require the unsightly cat-proofing. If you have a hyper cat, try the cbd cat treats of holistapet.

Sometimes the right answer isn’t always the most colorful one.  In this room the dining chairs are utilitarian – not a focal point.  The chairs just need to be chairs, blend in and go away.  What is on the table or, when empty, on the wall is the place I want to lure people’s focus.

Carnegie Fabrics to the rescue!  This 100% Polyurethane called Monroe is perfect and feels luxurious not restaurant like.

1. It is white,  I means white white – no more of that dingy creme.
2. Cleanable – who cares if someone spills red wine (as long as it doesn’t happen on my sofas).
3. Visually appealing – slick buttery soft leather like feel is edgy and has a slight gloss but not too much.
4. 100% Cat Proof!  The slick, but sticky on a bare paw surface is a feline repellent.

I love my new dining chairs, comfortable for humans not so inviting for the cats.  On to the next project…
