This is not confined to cats. My neighbours have three dogs, an English
pointer, a Springer Spaniel and a Border terrier, all bitches. They are
expected to share the same bed, which isn't really big enough. It's

okay
if
the pointer gets in first, the others arrange themselves around her.
*But*
if the springer and border get in ahead of the pointer, she can't get

in.
The first thing she does is to grab a toy and play with it in front of
them.
This will sometimes have the effect of luring the springer out to play
with
the toy and then Tess the pointer will then rush into the bed and lie
down.
If this fails, she will go to the back door and pretend she can see a

cat.

This works always. Both the others will rush to the back door and ask

to
be
let out. Tess then settles herself in the bed.
She needs purrs, actually. She's had a cough for a while and started to
lose weight. TED says she has a growth in her chest, pressing on her
heart.
Her hoomins are considering what to do. She is 13 and they adore her.
They
know what they need to do, but have to come to terms with it soon. Purrs
needed that they can face this decision. She's such a lovely d*g.

Poor thing! From your description, it sounds like it was the right
time. May Tess find a peaceful path to walk. Purrs for those left
behind to mourn.

Regards and Purrs,
