DH is away for 3 weeks for work, so last night was the first of
several nights of just me, Spock and Persephone. We have a king size bed, but since Persephone, in particular, likes to snuggle up close it sometimes gets a little squeezy in the bed. Usually, with both me and DH there, the cats arrange themselves between us and don't move about too much. Last night was a typically autumn (fall) night in Sydney (Australia) - cool, but not cold. Cool enough to put on a light sweater, but not cold enough to consider lighting the fire. Cool enough for kitties to want to snuggle close, but not so cold that they wanted to be under the covers. I should have known. I should have predicted it. I have lived with cats all my life and have been well trained about who gets priority bed-space. But, as naive as I am, I was still suprised when I woke up this morning sleeping crammed up against the bedhead sideways (across the width of the bed) whilst two very contented kitties were streeeeetched out on the rest of the bed, having hogged (pinned down) most of the bedding! *sigh* I now know my place.

LOL! This is similar to how I found myself this morning - hanging on to the edge of the bed, freezing without covers while Mir and Cal were stretched out in the middle of the bed. How can two such small creatures take up so much space? -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.

I think this excerpt from one of those "rules for cats" things that often circulate on the net would be appropriate he "I cannot buy anything bigger than a king size bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue to sleep on the couch to ensure your comfort. Look at videos of cats sleeping; they can actually curl up in a ball. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space used is nothing but sarcasm." ![]() Joyce |

When she is in her crate (which really is getting too small) she will lie on her back and sprawl and act miserable because she is so crowded. Then when she thinks I'm not watching she will curl up in the back third of the crate and sleep like a baby. Jake sleeps on his back with all four paws out in the middle of the bed like most bed hog cats. Until we go to sleep. Then he puts his front paws against me and back paws against Charlie and pushes to see who he can push out of bed first. Jo |

How can two such small creatures take up so much space? It's the law as handed down by the Mothership. If you try to roll over and get more room on the other side, they have to move, too. Jill |
