    Microfiber and Cats-Dangerous mix!

    People who own blankets, clothes or furniture covered in MF know the dangers of microfiber and cats.

    It attracts them and some of the side effects for your cat and you are/is-
    Lap fungus, limbs that fall asleep, inability to get the cat off your blanket, long periods of unconciousness, fights over who's blanket/couch/chair it is, a makeshift robe/nighty, in inability to walk-when you have the cat in your lap.

    -----------------------

    I washed a MF throw/blankie and no sooner than I had folded it and put in on the couch, ED was sound asleep on top!

    Hmmm, interesting. I have a similar problem with a cat and a fleece throw. Especially the symptom of disagreement over whose throw it actually is. From the cat's perspective I obviously have not learned that everything in the house belongs to the cat first, me second.

    I hope you find unclean litter in your bed tonight.

    Really!!

    That scared me, the title. I was ready to throw away the blankets until at the last sentence I realized it was a joke. I laughed but it was the laughter of relief.

    My cat, his blanket.

    He's always in the window anyway, I guess I should make it comfy for him!

    Basic house rule. ANYTHING THAT COMES INTO A HOUSE BELONGS TO THE CAT OR CATS.
    This a rule that most humans do not understand. The humans may be alowed to use an item, but only with the cats purr-mission.
