Are we comfortable??

Ditto 26.10.04

Ditto, tender of years and still with a few of the cat fact of life to learn, has in the last few weeks discovered there is more to beds than on, there is in fact something else, called in! This, as anyone who keeps cats will know, is perhaps not the most endearing of cat tricks!

Never has she yet considered we may not wish to have her attempting to burrow through from the outside at stupid o'clock, without fail futile scratching and burrowing precedes her eventual realisation that this just isn't going to work and that another approach must be used.

The secondary approach is the 'entry from pillow' approach, where invariably one or other of us receives a rude awakening courtesy of a small paw in the face! Having found a route in and made her way foot-ward, should we be silly enough to move a muscle we become 'prey', if we are not fully awake at this stage we soon will be, as small teeth and sharp claws 'play' at catch the foot!

Any attempts at removing said cat from the area is met with a more determined effort on her part at 'foot catching' and is pointless, not to mention painful.

So on it goes, we lie there cursing her quietly, trying to ignore her antics until eventually she decides she has found an appropriate spot, why she has to go through this each time is beyond us, she always ends up in exactly the same place where she remains firmly put againt any and every effort at removal!!

Shut the door I hear you say, keep her out of the bedroom......no chance, any efforts in that direction have been met with constant caterwauls and scratching, we have persevered I promise you, we have tried ignoring her for hours on end but her resolve is stronger than ours.....she will carry on for just as long as it takes to drive us demented enough to let her in.

Dontcha just love em sometimes! :o/
