Tessa and the old cabinets, 2025 © Colehauscats.com

Finally, we got rid of our old TV entertainment center cabinets. At long last and after one dozen trolls and 8 ghostings, multiple weekends listing the ad on multiple different venues, and with the starting price of $100 or best offer and quickly reduced after the first weekend down to FREE, we had two choices: Begin the laborious task of manually chopping up each cabinet, door and shelf and systematically sneaking some of that pile into the trash each and every week for the next 36 weeks, or pay a company to take the whole giant thing to a donation center that accepted particle wood furniture.

A few hundred dollars later, we’re pleased to announce we’ve rediscovered our entryway, and so have the cats, like Tessa here who, after Mom steam-mopped the floor, dusted the walls and called it good, promptly barfed across it. Consider it blessed.

From this, with the huge multi-cabinet entertainment center that filled almost an entire wall and so much brown everything:

To this, with a more manageable cabinet layout, moveable wall-mounted TV, brighter colors and Dad’s downstairs bed:

Gone are the ratty couch and loveseat the cats loved to scratch and replaced with metal chairs that seems to be scratch and barf-resistant so far and the rug’s rolled up and stored in a long closet to rid the room of what turned out to be a tripping hazard. The chairs aren’t cozy in the least but they’ll do for a few years.

So what does Tessa think of the change:

Honestly, what does Tessa usually think about anything? Love you, Tessa.

  1. What’s a bit of barf amongst friends…at least, that’s what Tessa says.
    If I’ve learned anything about Colehaus Cats, is that you get things done no matter the trials and tribulations.

    I am glad you have got rid of the cabinets at last. It makes it look lighter and more open now. Tessais just seems more interested in the bed.

    The room looks great. Sorry you had to pay to get rid of the cabinet though.

  6. meowmeowmans says:

    Thank goodness you were finally able to get rid of the cabinet. The room looks great — so bright. Tessa looks ready to do some serious relaximacating.

  7. It looks great, and Tessa isn’t going to approve of anything, so why ask?
