to ask the cats to budge up so I can fit into the bed

[AElfgifu]

or shall I just sleep on the floor?

YABU. My 2 cats tolerate us humans, but that is all. Woe betide us if we should dare try to move them from whichever comfy surface they're favouring at any given moment, and it takes a heck of a lot of Dreamies to be forgiven for vacuuming.

At this time of year especially they like to leave partially consumed/regurgitated mouse corpses lying about the place, as a warning of what they are capable of.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. - oh was this actually a serious question?
How could you even presume to ask such a thing?

Worra - love the cushion!!!!

You can ask but you know the answer!

Be grateful you are allowed in the bed.

Pillow indeed. pfft. Where did you acquire this taste for luxuries?

I love this series.

FYI

Hecate

Haha

Animal haters/Germaphobics do not read the following.

Husband and I used to be permitted to share our bed with 2 yorkies and one cat. Woke up one day to a bad smell. Older yorkie was laying across the pillow with his ass in my face. Too many treats + one old yorkie = very, very smelly morning breath from the wrong end. Barf.

Every night I sleep in an S shape with one cat curled into my tummy and one curled up against the back of my knees. It's taken all three of us a while to find an ideal configuration but this appears to be it. DH meanwhile has the whole of his side of the bed to himself. Harrumph...

The cat hair is on top of the duvet, I'm under the duvet. Meh.

Yes, I've found that no matter where I go in the bed I get followed but my husband can have half to himself. I'm convinced he used to spray me with some sort of pheromone while I was sleeping, in order to attract the pets.

Dh has a super king sized bed
Dd has a double
The cat and I share a single

Am DELIGHTED to see others are as pathetic as I am….. My two sleep on me at night - so no getting up in the middle of the night to go to the loo for me. Oh no, sureeee!

merce Oh yes - that grim realisation that you need a pee but that the cats are asleep, and you know that if you wake them up, there will be hell to pay!

Was it a German cat?

OP How dare you even suggest it?

oldgrandmama's evil cat says to OP: 'How very DARE you? You're lucky to be allowed near the damn bed at all. It's not YOUR bed and YOUR house and you're just the cats' craven SLAVE ... know your bloody place.

You now have a lot of making-up to do, to soothe hurt felines' feelins [get it?] ... so off to Waitrose with you, fast, and buy prawns, maybe a fillet steak and some organic free range chicken. And by the way, your cats don't particularly like your bed linen. They prefer twenty-thousand thread Egyptian cotton Porthault sheets, swansdown pillows and duvet, the latter in a pure silk duvet cover, scented with Chanel No. 5 and catnip.'

Best wishes, oldgrandmama's boss-cat.

Who could resist a face like that?

it's ok, we have come to a compromise. They can have full range of the pillows, the middle of the bed, the head of the bed, the foot of the bed, the wall side of the bed. I'm allowed the outside edge, with one foot on the floor holding myself in. this is on condition that I leave the duvet in the scrunched up heap that they have made their home, and not think of, say, straightening it out, or getting under it, or anything like that!

Sounds fair and reasonable.

Glad you reached a comprise although I bet they wouldn't have been impressed if you had left the bed, you're there to provide a heat source

I'm in bed because I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself, I had to beg the cat to stay with me and keep me company !

Well done OP and I must say I think they're being very reasonable allowing you to keep one leg in bed. Although as tinkywinky says it's probably because you're their heat source. Just remember thus is your purpose in life and all will be well.
