Air Mattress
When it was really hot last week in Los Angeles, (115 degrees), I
brought out the air mattress into the living room so I could sleep with the a/c on (no a/c in the bedroom) It takes up almost all of the open living room space so periodically I would deflate the air mattress so it would be easier to walk through the living room The cats didn't know what to make of it at first. Here was this thing that would move up and down as if there were greeblings in it. Mayhem has stared at it very intently when i'm inflating it. And once when i popped the valve so it could deflate, I then walked into the other room. I then came back and saw Mayhem on the deflating mattress with wide eyes, and every now and then the movement would catch her attention and she would pounce. Then another section would deflate and she'd pounce again. Silly! However, I find then the deflated mass of blankets on top of the air mattress is quite comfy. Because when I finally get tired and go to inflate the mattress, I find I can't because there's a cat curled up on it with a look saying, "I don't plan on moving." Okies, gonna try to sleep now..

Yeah, kinda hard to inflate an air mattress when there's at least one cat curled up on it, saying "You want something? You want me to move? Oh that's nice." Kristi |

Kristi There is something about cats and bedding. Part of our ritual when changing the sheets is to install the bottom sheet over a kitty and then play with the moving lump. We always eventualy free them, but they never think that getting trapped under the bottom sheet is a bad thing. |

Roxy plays this game sometimes, and when she's done, she knows to go to the edge of the mattress and dive out the side. No chance of having a cat trapped under a fitted sheet for all eternity.

Eldredge -- "Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all." -- Hypatia of Alexandria nope, that's why a thick comforter has been covering the air mattress. But when it's deflated, it just looks like the comforter has been spread out on the floor. When I woke up this afternoon, there were three cats on it. I'm sleeping in my bed tonight, but I cannot seem to fold/put away the blankets or air mattress, because every time i look there's at least one cat on it.... Sigh, Kristi |
