Ohmygoodness, Tibbe has to have his lookout posts for surveying his domain. He's got full-length windows in the front of the house and his big, long raised den window in the back of the house that the couch backs up to so he just jumps from the couch to the wide window sill. The width of the back of the couch and the window sill = about 18" so he's got a nice secure perch for watching the squirrels and birds and things that come up and down the alley in back. When I leave, Tibbe is standing on the nearest front windowsill and when I return, he is still there or back there. I used to come home from work to find him asleep on the window sill - just broke my heart to see my baby sound out asleep on the window sill waiting for mommie all day! I think now he must spend his day on the couch or bed as I see evidence he's dug a nest, etc. on both and he's never asleep on the sill anymore when I come home. I think he comes back into the den to listen to the TV audio, as I leave that on through the stereo. Am afraid to leave a TV on in the home when I'm gone for fear it might catch fire. They say those bigscreens can be prone to catching fire so won't do it but leave ESPN on for him to hear all the sportstalk or leave it on Animal Planet. But he loves his windows on the world! I actually had the den window lowered so to accommodate Jilly as it was too high for her to see out. So we had it enlarged so she could see out of it. She spent so much time in that window before she died. We still call it Jilly's Window.
