Cat Picture - OC A lounge within a lounge…

I made my sweet boy Jiji his own little lounge just above the sofa in the main lounge and he enjoys it very much in his downtime (mainly to snooze and groom).

Anyone have any fun decoration ideas or print/picture or recommendations that I can frame & hang behind his little sofa? (❍❍)

I was thinking maybe Le Chat Noir…

UPDATE IN COMMENTS:

​The boy’s space has been upgraded a bit! He hasn’t seen it yet, and probably won’t care…
(The cat in the small picture is his sister in spirit; Gizmo, my sweet girl who passed a few years ago 💜)

Oh yes! Like some sort of royal portrait, that would be fantastic - going to look into that 😅

Get a picture of the Baron from cat returns and you'll be winning at life (tbf I think you've already won)

u/TomboMononoke 23h ago

YES! I mean he’s named after Jiji from Kiki’s delivery service but this would work so well!

u/phantomsnorts69 21h ago

mine makes a tiny throne out of laundry baskets

u/Longjumping_Floor358 21h ago

honestly the tiny royal portrait would complete the whole look perfectly

u/DeliciousStand372 1d ago

does he pay rent for that studio apartment?

57

u/TomboMononoke 1d ago

Hahaha, yeah annoyingly he always seems to be outside exploring when rent is due…

u/rrxp33 1d ago

Looks like he needs a little record player up there

20

u/TomboMononoke 1d ago

That would be amazing - then he would be just like Dad 😂

u/Mean-Internet-5967 1d ago

This is so cute 🥺 you should totally decorate the walls of his loft with multiple mini photos and posters 😺

7

u/TomboMononoke 1d ago

Absolutely! Just thinking of what to put up there :)

u/Lumpy_Benefit666 22h ago

Beer coasters would probably make good posters and you can just blue tack them to the walls.

Get a chalk board paint tester pot and paint a black square on the wall as a tv and then you can draw scenes on it with chalk.

On the overhang you should get one of those desktop punch bags and put it upside down so she has something to bat whilst watching the mice on tv

u/TomboMononoke 22h ago

This comment. Killer stuff here 🤝

I have plenty coasters, easy win. I might get a mini chalkboard and pin it up, I’ll draw his mouse toy. And I love the punch bag idea so much - but I do want him to associate his space with zen not fight night 😂🥊

u/lushlife311 23h ago

I love this! I want to put a little art gallery above my cats food bowls. This is my inspiration.

u/kml416 23h ago

This is beyond cute. Stealing for inspo too!

5

u/TomboMononoke 23h ago

That would be great! I have a few print options lined up but there’s limited wall space in the nook 😅

u/this_skin_immodest 22h ago

Can you please tell me where Jiji found his wonderful little couch?

5

u/aashleyyy2016 10h ago

Yes I second this! I have the exact colored couch and would love to match with my babies 🥹

u/TrekTN55 1d ago

Fabulous! 😸
Cute cat too😻

4

u/turd_deli 18h ago

Some soft sheer curtains on the sides would add even more coziness. Maybe a fake plant!

2

u/TomboMononoke 18h ago

Yes curtains would look so cute! Although, he likes to attack plants and curtains 😂

u/Emergency-Many8675 17h ago

u/Glum-Sheepherder-787 23h ago

I have a package of adorable fish wrapping paper - you could wallpaper a wall with it or frame a little square.

u/Genealogy-Gecko 21h ago

He looks like he was born to oversee his domain from such a royal abode !!!

u/TomboMononoke 21h ago

He enjoys looking down on his slave/jester/peasant (me) from up there…

I love this! Maybe a little plant and an oil painting.

3

u/TomboMononoke 19h ago

I really want to put a little plant in there! I just know he’ll immediately attack it or try to consume it 😅

It’s… perfect 😭

u/Total_Cherry_4945 9h ago

I have tiny cowboy hats hanging by my cat couch made out of a Pringles to-go cup + spray paint + some bedazzling. The hat rim can be made with any similar weight material 😇 Edit: spelling of “tony” to “tiny”
