Can save a few pieces to make sof pillows out of but that it all!!! I have
no idea where the fur balls are right now, and frankly don't care at the
moment.

Where's the picture?

I sympathise with you so much because you saved up for it, but my advice
is,
and has always been *do not allow cats in your bedroom*
That is the one place in the house that my cats cannot go. Ever. Never.

Sorry Pam, Lee and I have something in common when it comes to pictures, you
might get out foot or the floor.

I'm afraid this advice will mostly fall on deaf ears in this newsgroup,
Tweed. Most of us *like* to sleep with our kitties! And although I often
end up tossing mine out of the bedroom at some point during the night,
even I want to *start* the night off with feline company!

Besides, keeping cats out of the bedroom doesn't safeguard your expensive
stuff from damage, since most folks keep valuable items all over the
house,
not just in the bedroom. (Anyway, a couch costs more to replace than a
mattress top. Not that I'm suggesting one deliberately sacrifice the
mattress top to keep the cats happy and away from the couch. )


Lets just ignore valuable items all over the house. My cats have never
damaged any furniture or valuables. I just like to sleep on my own because
I am a light sleeper; cats on the bed would wake me and I need to go to work
5/7. I have enough trouble sleeping without cats in my bedroom doing their
nocturnal things and jumping on and off my bed. My bedroom is out of bounds.

Oh, I know. And if I were as light a sleeper, I wouldn't let my cats
sleep with me, either. (But I'd miss them!) But this thread started out
because someone (senior moment, can't remember who, sorry!) allowed
her cats into the bedroom, resulting in a destroyed mattress top made
of expensive "memory foam". So I was addressing the "protect your
furniture" argument against allowing cats into the bedroom.

I do sympathize with the issue of cats interfering with sleep. Mine
wake me up, and often cause me orthopedic pain by sleeping on me. And
I have enough problems without cats! I usually wake up with pinched
nerves in my neck (because I'm sleeping in some weird, twisted position
that I did NOT start out in), and the pinched nerves cause numbness
and often pain in my hand and arm. Add cats to the mix and it just
gets worse. I've long suspected that they're getting kickbacks from
my chiropractor.

being a light sleeper would be an issue. I only sleep about 3/4 hours at a
time but don't generally wake up during that time, Lee

The sleeping cat wakes and decides to have a scratch. Suddenly you
feel as if you're sleeping in a cheap motel and someone put a quarter
in the slot.
