Sorry everyone, I couldn't remember which thread Obelixx had posted on with her cat pictures and I didn't have the energy to look through it all again.
I loved the cat piccies - and really felt for the one who had all the fur shaved off!! I hope they are all getting on a bit better now. The OH originally wanted to adopt a rescue cat as well as our snow leopards but I think we have quite enough to deal with already!!!! As for sleeping in the bed - I can't get my two out of it! They either get in the bed, one burrows its way up from the bottom of the duvet whilst the other one pounces on it from above (this whilst I am trying to sleep), or they get in with me (much too hot) or one of them gets inside between the quilt and the cover and then can't get out again whilst the other one pounces on it!!!! I have such bags under my eyes these days... oh joy, kittens! (I totally adore them of course)
Rhoda

Our cats always used to roam the house day & night, sleeping on most of the bed at night & all the usual disruption. When MR b had an op we decided to temporarily shut them up in the back room at night (access to the great outdoors available). After a while we thought we'd go back to our usual laissez faire method of cat keeping. We could not stand it any more & they have been banished during the night ever since!

Hi Rhoda - we seem to have rotating cats at the moment. Zazu has adopted the bunk beds but will come back to sleeping between our pillows when the cold sets in. He purrs a long time.
Casper has recently taken to sleeping between us or on top of the wardrobe as he thinks he's safe from Sacha and she has been sleeping on the rug or the landing just to wind him up 'cos he can't get past. I've caught him weeing in our bathroom sink rather than risk a confrontation. If he does try I end up having to leap out of bed to separate them. Add all that to OH snoring and I get to be rather tired sometimes.
Sacha is definitely calming down though - after only 2 yrs of madness - and loves being groomed again so we have long sessions to keep her knot free and doolally.

Beejay - we've tried shutting ours out of the bedroom but they just scratch at the doors. Can't lock them up downstairs as we have no doors except on the loo and between the scullery and the garages. When we bought the house it was very damp so we left the doorways unfinished to let the walls and plaster dry. We got so used to free circulation that we never had doors fitted though we have now clad the doorways. I don't let them nest in the guest bedroom so that leaves us or the sofa. Guess what they prefer.

My three compete for my bed and mess up my cream satin bedspread, first one there wins and defends the territory!
Said bedspread spends a lot of time in the cleaners........

Oh - I always wanted a cream or white bedspread, all feminine and perhaps with a bit of lace! Of course this would be ruined by cat hair so always have to have patterned and coloured ones. I've just realised that I am beginning to move into some of my warmer clothes quite a few of which are black. Or should I say black with silvery white cat hairs all over them!

I bought the bedspread because I fell in love with it, and the tasseled scatter cushions too, the cats unsurprisingly love the tassels even more than I do and they`ve had to be sewn back on once or twice! My cats don't lose much hair really, except in spring when they lose their winter coats, what I most object to is the paw prints, when they fail to wash their feet before leaping on the bed!
