The room needed color. Apparently the owner did not qualify.

A grey cat sits outside a colorful living-room party while a calico occupies the sofa.

Feline tastemaker Fenella announced that grey was finished halfway through Gerald’s housewarming, then asked Gerald to wait in the hall.

The grey host pointed out that he had paid for the new sofa, selected the drinks and lived there. Fenella said none of those things made him an accent color.

Guests described the room as instantly warmer without him. One asked whether the change was permanant.

Gerald was eventually invited back to clear the plates. Fenella felt grey worked very well in a service role.
