Abelard's new bed
The other day after Abelard returned from his long absence I was so glad to
see him that I got him a very soft, new, small bed. Of course he refused to sleep in it. Eli was the first to test it out, but he's so big that every time he stretched the bed would tip over and dump him out! But he finally figured out that if he'd just curl into a small ball that worked. Then Tommy tried it out and seemed to like it a lot. Tommy's just a tad smaller than Eli but he didn't go through the tipping phase - maybe he learned by watching Eli... So Tommy and Eli alternated using the new Abelard bed. Nobody else got it it at all. Then today for the first time Abelard used it. There was a LOT of room to spare! He changed positions two or three times and seemed quite contented in there. |

aw, good for Abelard
Maybe his new bed will keep him from wanderlust for a while. Lily & her mama -- Irulan from the stars we come to the stars we return from now until the end of time "Pat" wrote in message ...

DP and I got a medium sized fluffy dog bed for Simba last week. It is so cute to see him curled up and content. I think the wood floors are cold for him to sleep on and he rarely gets up on the furniture, so it seemed a good idea. He even pushed it under the coffee table so he has a little cave to sleep in. The only bad thing is he WILL NOT let Pepper in to it! Even if Simba wants to be on the floor or is in another room, he chases Pepper away form "his" bed if Pepper tries to get in. In retaliation Pepper jumps up on the red couch and sheds black hair all over it :P And yes....Simba is fluffy gentlemen and requires a medium sized dog bed. Jemfur, Simba and Pepper |

He pees in his bed? Why? He did it to his previous bed and didn't tell me why. I tried to wash out the smell but it took time, and meanwhile part of the foam disappeared. Maybe he just didn't like the old bed... Whenever he pees outside the litterbox, it's always where it's easy to clean up and didn't harm anything important. I guess he judged that bed as unimportant. |

No other cat has ever been allowed on HIS bean-bag, and to be fair they all respected that it was his. That been bag started in London, went to Belize and is now in America. It will be coming home to Cardiff in April. It must be the world most well travelled bean bag! Robbie has about 20 other beds through the house, but he *LOVES* that bean bag. ) Helen M -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

Almost all animals will never foul their beds unless they are ill. My dogs didn't do it (all 11 of them) and neither do my cats. I am surprised that Abelard does it. He will not have judged his bed as unimportant, (they don't think like that) there will have been another reason he peed on it and it's up to you as meowmie to find out what that reason is. Tweed |

Abelard never used the old bed. Nobody ever did, except when Abelard peed in it one time. I kinda doubt he would even remember now why he did it, or even that the bed ever existed. It was almost three years ago. |
