Pets in Stylish Homes

We love seeing who lives in what types of homes, and that includes your pets. Each of these pets from five of our midwestern house tours (so many more great pets in our archives!) are enjoying something different about their homes, and they look really good doing it. We've got the the dauschund buried under a West Elm pillow, a cat lounging on a vintage chenille bedspread, and another cat chilling on a record player...

• 1 Talia from Jen & Dave's Pet-Friendly Palace
• 2 Otto from Sarah & Steve's Attic Aerie
• 3 Kim's Kitty from Kim's One Room at a Time
• 4 Kitty on record player from Harmony & Vance's Newlywed Nest
• 5 Furnando from Amy's New Place in West Rogers Park

What stylish objects does your pet gravitate toward?

My house would never feel like a home without my furry family.

The cat who adopted me who serendipitously matches my decor: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sandiv999/3794139940/in/set-72157622057923630/

Pet's go with any decor. Pets are the decor.

My pets have bad taste and gravitate towards empty boxes.

Is my dog the only one who makes our couch dirty? I wish I could have a chair as beautiful as the one the greyhound is on but our pets don't appreciate good taste. I am still looking for the perfect sofa - easy to clean and comfortable.
Any ideas?

Our cat Artemis thinks we purchased the Barcelona chair just for her. She gets huffy when people sit on it.

My cat can disappear for hours at a time, but whenever I take my camera out, he magically appears and is in every shot. This is not to say that I don't also seek out opportunities to capture his adorable likeness, but I always smile when I see cats and dogs in house tour photos -- they are such hams!

Does cat fur count as a decorating medium?
