Floor Shark

It's really quite amazing-- I like to stretch out in bed, but no sooner do
my fingers or toes extend out beyond the edge of my bed, then Dante starts
grabbing at them. It's like I'm on a raft, being circled by a fat, furry,
ridiculous little shark.

Candygram!

Licky used to do the same thing. Fortunately, he doesn't do it any more.
But I can remember when he was a little younger, and I'd hang my foot over
the edge of the bed, and suddenly there are needle-sharp claws in my toes.
Ouch.

Ouch, yes, I feel your pain. Naughty loves ruthlessly murdering any
feet that might protrude over the edge of the mattress. But worse, she
figured out that the sound of the alarm clock is always followed by a
blindly groping hand emerging from under the sheets, and when the
clock goes off she'll *wait* for the hand! Waking up to a violent
assault is not the best way to be got out of bed.

More like piranhas than sharks, my two :-)

And then there's Leila, who is a sting ray, not a shark. She plops
herself down in the middle of the highest traffic area she can find and
lies there as though she hasn't a trouble in the world...until somebody
tries to step over her. And although her fingernails were removed
before she came to live with me, she still has her cleats....

Rusty sleeps in his own room with the door closed. So I don't have
such problems.
Rusty has his litter box, dishes, and bed/carrier in his room, with a
great view
too.

LOL, that's a perfect description of Harley near my bed time. She sets up
in the path between my TV chair, the kitchen, and my bedroom, and snags at
my socks as I step over her. Fortunately she keeps the claws mostly
retracted, as I sometimes have an armload of hot food, condiments, and
drinkables. I just have to softly say "careful..." and she lets go. (That's
my "safe word". )

Hehehe. The really funny thing is after a night of pinching and grabbing, I
wake up in the AM to find the beast cuddled up next to me, purring his
ridiculous snorty purr, and blinking his big silly eyes at me.
