Making the bed around the cat

[mani]

How many of us do it?

 

[verna davies]

Oh yes, I recognize that.

Well what about the “went to wash the sheets & couldn’t put them back on” photo?

Yep, that too.

This presupposes that one actually makes their bed.

mani Love your matelasse bed cover. Does it come in green?

Been there, but they get evicted quickly. Making my bed is the second thing I do every morning.
A lot of times, they just wait next to the bed until I make it then jump right back on.

 

[rubysmama]

No idea what you're talking about.

 

[Pywacket21]

Why try?

 

[Caspers Human]

No, no... Casper waits until his Girl-Human finishes making the bed before he takes up residence.

He sits, patiently, and "supervises" while she makes the bed. When she's done, she'll pat the bedspread and he'll hop up and look around to "inspect" her work. If everything passes muster, he'll lay down and curl up.

Casper always lays in the same spot, every day. It's virtually a daily routine.

Sombra peeps from behind the pillows waiting patiently for the bed to be made.

One of my favorite pictures of Max.

“You can’t resist me can you, Mom.” No, sweetie, I never could.

I don’t make the beds, just pull covers up a bit etc. my kitties have free run to do as they wish When I change sheets Quinn does fully supervise He loves to hide under the sheets etc. but he will never sleep under the covers.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, lol.

I got a bit further today:

matelasse

Not that I know of.
I have a bit of a quilt thing.

 

[Caspers Human]

If that was Casper, I'd pet him for a moment then gently pat him on the bum until he moved over, far enough to complete the task.
Then, when I was done, I'd pat the spot where he was and say, "Okay," then he would move back if he wanted to.

This is an almost nightly bedtime ritual, anyway.
If he's on my side of the bed when I come in to go to sleep, I'll pet him and coax him over. Then, when I'm settled, I'll pat the bed and he'll move back to snuggle in for the night.

I actually got away with it today and thought it best not to just post a picture of a neatly made bed.
It's been a little cooler and I've put the electric blanket on very low for his arthritis, so I imagine shifting will become highly problematic again tomorrow.

I do admire a dedicated cat. I imagine nothing escapes a Missy Inspection.

As expected, the electric blanket wins out and there is huge resistence to movement.
Please note the sheepskin-lined cat bed just visible on the floor that is never used.
