bed hunting
Dave (DH) and I admitted this weekend that we had to bite the bullet
and fork out for a new bed - our old one (which we've had for more than 10 years and was second-hand when we got it) is begging to be retired to the great mattress heaven in the sky. Like many in this group, we have the perennial problem of the bed being too small to fit the hoomins in after the cats have made themselves comfortable, so in a fruitless attempt to restore democracy in the bed-territory, we decided to go for a king-sized bed. I know that it probably won't work and that the cats will expand to fit slightly more than the available space, but we'll give it a go. Anyhow, Dave came up with a fabulous way to ascertain whether or not the beds were going to be big enough - take cat-sized stuffed toys and arrange them about the showroom beds in similar places to where the cats sleep. Gave me a real good giggle that one - can you imagine the faces of the sales people if we wandered around the stores armed with 3 large-ish stuffed toys, explaining that it was impractical to bring the cats themselves. tee hee Tish no, we managed to shop without the aid of both stuffed toys and cats, so the cats will just have to learn to live with the bed we chose. |

You should have tested it out for the benefit of all of us! ;o) -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki |

Last year I sold 4 kittens to a couple, tragically one was killed by a d*g at 6 months, they decided to get another 2 kitties and then found that they had to update their queen size bed for a king size to accommodate the extra fur babies!!
