The Life of Riley.... or should we say Arnold?

I think Arnold is fully acclimated to the new house and is now enjoying the "life of riley." He's got a few favorite spots. He likes taking a nap in the laundry basket...

He loves to perch on the ottoman, even though his fat butt hangs off it...

The brown couch is proving to be a very comfy place to lounge after a long game of "string."
And of course he loves hanging out at the pub table after a long day at work; work being - taking a nap and then another nap after lunch, and then eating dinner with the folks. The one thing that's really weird is he's DEATHLY AFRAID of the kitchen door. He'll sit by it all day, but when you open it he runs away as if you are trying to force him outside. Odd behavior considering he is always trying to get out the front door when you open that one!! Doesn't he realize it's the same place? I guess not.

OR Maybe he's smarter than we realize.... Maybe there is something weird about that kitchen door? Maybe it's haunted? Oooo...
