LOL, Kathy!
And I think you're correct in that even a three story mansion would be just
a lowly domain for Darius.  But speaking of carpet colors, you may in the
future be very thankful you didn't get the creme colored.  Every little
piece of dirt stands out on that color, which would call for very frquent
cleaning.  Dirt on the gray won't show nearly as bad.
Well, the gray would suit my kitty just fine, because that's his color
along with a white belly and paws.  He's asleep right now in his window
bed, which is his favorite sleeping place, after prowling around outside
for a couple of hours.
Thanks for sharing with another "humble subject" of a spoiled brat cat.

Oh Helen,
You should see the way Darius struts about the place.  I think that we
could have gotten a three story mansion and it still would have been just
a lowly domain for him.  He's very happy that we've agreed to move up in
the world, but he probably wishes that we had gotten a more cream colored
carpet, in keeping with his fur color, rather than the gray that we ended
up with, but really, humans should be allowed a few choices in life!
(GRIN!)  Don't you think?
