The Preamble –
When Teddy is out of town, Toffee sleeps with Mum. We both slept in late but it was about 11 am and Toffee wouldn’t get out of bed. I wanted to change the bed for Teddy’s arrival. So why didn’t I just push her off?
Toffee is the last surviving cat that we brought from Egypt to the USA. When she was a feral kitten, she went missing for a night and I was looking for her frantically. Our gardener had found her and put her in his shed. Whatever happened was traumatic, perhaps a near miss with a car or a fall of the balcony, and she had injured her leg. We could not take her to the vet until she was more tame and by that time the injury had healed.
Every so often she would limp and so she now has Gabapentin to help with that. At almost 15 years old, we still can’t lift her and I don’t like shooing her (off the bed) in case she hurts her leg. She still runs around chasing a laser pointer so the meds are working. Now, enjoy!
On a final funny note, I sent this to friends and family. One of my aunts replied, “What are you McHugh girls like with your pusses!” She was referring to my Irish mother’s side of the family and my two cousins, her daughter and two nieces. We are all crazy about cats and have no children. I am the oldest crazy cat lady but I suspect there will be more…
Love the video! 🙂

You could always do what I do Kerry, not bother making the bed.

Well, my secret fear is that Teddy won’t come home anymore if the bed is not as good as the hotel one!

She’s paid her dues, so she gets to stay on the bed until she’s ready! She’s a beauty.

Toffee is so cute, but wave a piece of fish in front of her and she will gladly get off the bed! What a life she has!

No she doesn’t like fish but gently sauteed chicken would do the trick! Katniss had leftover quiche from the French bakery. She looked at it suspiciously and then dived in. All the birds and other critters have been fed too…

Where does she sleep when Teddy is home?
Nice to read your posts again after so long. Wish you and yours a happy and healthy 2018.

Thank you so much! Toffee can’t stand Teddy’s snoring which is ironic since she snores… At night she tucks us in, jumping up on the bed, cuddling both of us and then going to one of her many sleeping sites. Her own bed, the futon, the sofa or the other bed. 😻

Now she is stuck with Mum in bed because the painters are decorating the living, kitchen and hall area… I think she is enjoying being with me but the painters’ romantic Spanish music has chased her under the bed…I might join her!
