Kerry,
I think we're all nut jobs! Have you ever asked them if they want to
help make the bed? Whenever I get sheets out to make the bed, my guys
come running. They love it when I spread the sheet out over them and
with each layer a new game of "bed mice" begins. (Bed mice is when
someone, or something, usually a foot, is moving under the covers
inviting a pouncing attack). My Jack Russel mix, Zelda, also loves Bed
Mice. Since she was a puppy she's loved to leap from opposing sides of
the bed on the offending lump. She even asks for a game by sitting on
the uninhabited bed, staring intently at the smooth cover and doing her
grumble-under-her-breath vocalization, then she'll look at me, then
back at the covers. She'll keep it up until I get on my hands and
knees and stick my hand under the covers, and the game is on!

Yes. I don't vacuum when they're in the
room in question (and never vacuum the carpet in the feral FELV
room--that's always a hands and knees job). I don't change or make the
bed if a cat is on it. And if each sofa is occupied by a reclining cat
(there are 3 sofas in the living-room and 3 cats with access to that
space) I...um...sit on the floor...(When the sofas first arrived years
ago and they "figured out" it was one for each of them you should have
seen the way they raced to get their first choice). In the old days I
used to diligently spread sheets over the sofas before going to work
until I realized they loved running around (and then collapsing) UNDER
the sheets.
Friends of mine don't allow their cats on
the furniture. What fun is that?
Ha! Isn't it incredible what we do to not disturb Their Royal
Highnesses? Whenever I'm scrunched into some ungodly pretzel position
in bed, or have to go to the bathroom, but there's a cat on my lap, I
try to remember how quick they are to disturb me with a
back-claw-launch if there's something they're interested in.

I have had Cleo since Nov 04 and no she never did this before,
but she came from my moms house. The last new addition was at the end
of March so I do not think it is that, but since then all has been ok,
she is sleeping in my chair right now, she is not even letting me sit,
I am typing standing up ;-))
