My cat had me giggling myself to sleep last night.

For some bizarre reason I decided last night that it was The Time to wash my blanket and comforter. So I did. Of course, the comforter required a couple of extra cycles to thoroughly dry and all the upping and downing of stairs left me too achy and exhausted to shower before bed and there was no way I was climbing into squeaky clean everything without a squeaky clean me to go along. So, I left the old sheets on the bed and just threw an old comforter over them instead of my blanket and figured I'd do the actual sheet etc. changing today.

All good, right?

So, I climb in and curl up and eventually my cat hops up to snuggle in. She almost always does the chair to bookcase to head of bed maneuver (she's 13 and a half and not always as spry as she was, though sometimes she still does the straight jump up). In any case, she gets on the bed, walks onto the comforter and starts grumping. She walked down to the foot of the bed, started to climb over my legs, then turned around and scurried back up by my pillow to yowl at me. I was laughing, which got me the evil eye, but she also looked terribly pitiful hiding up by my pillow so as not to be touching the Comforter of Evil.

I coaxed her back onto it, thinking she'd just settle down, but no, she was back up by my pillow complaining pitifully in seconds. Finally I had to pull it up off a section of the bed and coax her down onto the plain sheets. She stood and glared at the comforter, grumbled, glared at me, walked about and finally sat and glared and grumbled from there. After a lot of petting she did a last turn around, slid up against my butt, batted the Comforter of Evil even further away and lay down, grumbling and meeping the whole time.

I? Was giggling the whole time. Which got me a few pokes, a few butt shoves (which only made me worse) and much aggrieved grumbling and assorted other noises as I giggled myself to sleep.

Pets are total proof that god/ess has a sense of humor.

Oh yeah!

I've never known her to take such a dislike to anything before. And the noises she was making!

grumpy cats. I know them well. They chew on my power cables all the time and try to attach the christmas tree lights.

Harrumph and bah humbug to grumpy cats.

Your story is amusing, however.

I tossed the Comforter of Evil on the floor just now as I was making the bed and she started to head over to me - she likes to check up on me and make sure I'm doing everything right - saw the Comforter, put one foot out, drew it back, grumbled and sat and stared, but wouldn't even walk around it. Cracked me up again.

Hee.

Oh, that is just too funny. My cats would probably do the same thing if I ever changed the comforter on my bed. XD

She's up on the bed now, lying there smugly on the regular blanket.

Long entry is long!

Hehe, that's cute though. Samurai is very weirded out by the new smell when we wash our comforter.

Kachina doesn't seem to mind the smell of fresh washed comforter. She mostly seemed offended by the feel of the other one under her paws. ;)

I'm sure she'll get used to it! Or will be bothered enough by your giggling she'll lay on it.

[maisfeeka.livejournal.com]

She won't need to. It's actually an old one that I just threw on for warmth last night. It's back on the futon. ;)

Lol, your kitty is proof that people are owned by their pets for sure :D

They sure do!
