ROTFL AT BOTH OF YOU--KERRY, NINA!!. I do all that too.
My cat Magellan, aka General Magellan, harrasses my mother when she visits. It is hysterical. All he wants is her undivided attention and will go to any means to get it. Including: completely unmaking her bed right after she has made it, unpacking her suitcase and throwing the contents on the floor, Wrestling her pillow to the floor. Pulling out the contents of her purse. He just won't let up until she acknowledges him a MAJOR way.

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 ;-))
