She lint-rolled for hours, but could not remove any of the frivolous cat hair
My daughter would so love that :) It looks like it's been well loved by the previous owner, too!
Well, the storowner or staff love cats. I don‘t know why i‘m sure about this, i just feel it somehow 😂
It would be really funny if you didn't have a cat and a dog slept on it !
Its the purrfect chair! Thrift stores get donations. Why would ANYONE get rid of this??
If you ever get tired of this fantastic chair I'll take it off your hands. Take care Coreen
This goes with the dress the woman modelled in a previous shot. Have both dress and chair for completely convincing crazy cat lady look. May result in being carted off to an old folks home or being held on a 5150.
