This morning's wake up story with a pic of last night's bed time

At 2:30, Sian just ran out of patience with my sleeping. After all, it had been THREE AND A HALF HOURS without scritches and kisses. So she face planted me, again. Fortunately her claws were retracted. What followed was about 30 minutes of non stop action. She FINALLY joined the other kidcats at the foot of the bed so that I could fall back to sleep. Well, to OVER sleep by 10 minutes. So the face planting began, again. At that point they were all at the point of complete starvation.

And this is a typical night time arrangement. Madoc now prefers some personal space and sleep elsewhere. At least for a while. Regardless, there is scant room for me until they reposition.

It's good of them to leave you plenty of room to get comfortable. If you're are anything like my two cats they somehow gain an extra twenty pounds at night and become difficult to move.

…on your blanket feels like having a curling stone there. 🥌

Endearing and delightful nonetheless.

Have a lovely weekend.

Another stretches out between my legs with head between my ankles. Another sleeps beside my legs and one on the pillow beside me with her head against mine. She pats my cheek until I wake up when she wants me to pet her. Thankfully, the other two sleep in their own beds.

I know you are taking the picture, but where are you? I think I see "foot tent" at the foot of the bed...

And one of my daughters loves your kidcat stories that I share, she was delighted by the Welsh names!

Fortunately it is VERY comfortable, especially during warmer weather. The bump at the end is a little pillow I use to keep the mattress in place at night. Sometimes it slides a little.

So here's my knee and foot, the night before.

going to ask where you sleep 😂. I have only had one cat that would sleep in bed with us and it was the first cat my husband and I ever had many years ago. She was tortoiseshell. She could be sweet and but other times kind of mean. I did love that cat though.
