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

[AElfgifu]

or shall I just sleep on the floor?

I might try that, cozie.

I know if a cat showed up at the door and walked it, he'd just happily budge up on the sofa, but he won't budge on actually going out and getting one!

Down to you then. And you can say that it's to be your cat.

(Then, if it prefers him, aided if necessary by copious Dreamies at his end of the sofa he can preen away.)

Well that's easily solved. I have an array of cats that turn up on my doorstep. I'm like the sodding pied piper for cats
Even completely feral ones will sit on my lap, no idea why
Today I've had a birman, a black cat, and a ginger one visit me

Hecate I will stick one in the post. You can have the vocal birman

I felt like you dh so I started fostering. You get all the good bits of having a cat and then they go to their permanent home.
