Cat slave or what??

Last night I was out to a BBQ a few doors away. I changed from my
chicken-cleaning clothes in my bedroom and forgot to shut the door.

When I came home after 4 glasses of wine I was ready for bed. Until I
noticed that Kitty FC had discovered the open door and was absolutely fast
asleep in the middle of my duvet.
What to do? Try and crawl in? No, she was right in the middle. Wake her
up and carry her downstairs? Unthinkable.
I spent the night in the spare bedroom..and that bed is quite comfortable I
discovered.

I have to say, you're a better cat slave than I!

(That, or four glasses of wine made the idea of approaching KFC quite
daunting.)

LOL I remember you saying, the cats will never be allowed upstairs. They're
gradually training you. ;-)

My eyes are a little blurry today and at first I read your reply as the
gaining on you. That would be appropriate too.

Wonder just what is going on in KFC's little head after all this time?

They are now allowed upstairs but only in the spare bedroom. It was my own
fault I forgot to shut the door to my own bedroom tightly enough. If it had
been young Boyfriend on my bed I would woken him and encouraged him to go
elsewhere.
I will not wake a 20yo cat out of a deep sleep just to sleep in my own bed
when there is another bed I can sleep on in the next room.
It doesn't normally happen. I keep my bedroom firmly closed usually. No
cats allowed. This was a hiccup.

Wow, that's an interesting thought. I rarely go out at night because I
cannot see in the dark now, so the cats are used to me being at home all
night mostly.

Oh yes, I know all that, John. It would be a hard person that scooped up a
20yo cat in a deep sleep to put themselves right in that place when there
was a nice bed in the next room that they could sleep in instead. Wasn't
too bad actually. The bed is very comfy, I might migrate to it.
