free felines
The cats are going to drive me nuts. Yes, I know that it's a short trip, but I'm being driven batty no less. I am a light sleeper. And the cats have always woken me up in the evening...usually two or three times. Now, thanks to the new bed (may it be praised), territorial wars have begun anew. Not since we moved in the parsonage 18 months ago has it been like this. They fight, mew, cry, and generally scrap for inches. So, I've not slept for more than one or two hours at a shot. I'm going to have to get rid of the cats. Don't tell my wife. Maybe she won't notice. They come as a set. Three cats, one feline land grab...just for you. Leave a message if you want 'em.
urf...
Posted by tripp at November 6, 2007 06:01 AMHave you considered just shutting the bedroom door? With them on the outside, I mean.
We have to do that here because the goofy furball Cannot. Lie. Still. Then she wants UNDER the covers. And then wants to chase imaginary mice. Or whatever. Oy.

Posted by: Reverend Ref at November 6, 2007 11:19 AMKeep your cool; you are more apt to end with more cats than you already have. You are more like your mother than you care to think! Love to the cats; tell them to move over and leave the doors alone. Dave has 3 bedrooms and picks his room according to his mood; I get the early hours of the a.m. in my bedroom when hunger sets in.
Posted by: Mom at November 6, 2007 06:54 PMsigh...sorry... I really hate it when I have disrupted sleep!!
our cats sleep elsewhere because we have dogs that position for spots on the bed. We have been able to train them to sleep on their own beds, but one seems to have a problem staying in her bed all night...kinda like my children were for some of their childhood...
try a spray bottle of water, just squirt them when they jump on the bed or mew, after a night or two of restless sleep they'll leave you alone...Of course if you have to spray them too much you'll end up with very wet sheets as well...
family life can be such a challenge. Just wait, if you ever have kids....
