Oh, bed hogs....a subject "close" to my own heart...and all the rest of me! Two years ago, after my mother passed away, her kittie, Merlin, started joining me and my kittie "CJ" in bed. I had a standard double bed that was just fine for me and CJ, who was very good at stretching from one side to the other...diagonally! Add 15 lb. Merlin (who also snored) and there was no room left for me. After the 3rd night of little sleep, I finally got up and went to the recliner. Not 5 minutes went by and I was joined, first by CJ (wrapped around my neck like a stole) and then Merlin, pinning down my legs until they were numb. I finally got up, showered, drove to the nearest Mattress store, waited 30 minutes for it to open and bought a king size bed. When the owner asked why I had chosen to switch from full to king size when only one person slept in the bed, (which I thought was more than a bit personal) I could only laugh hysterically! I thought I would have all the room in the world, but it's absolutely amazing...two cats still take up the entire bed! Merlin passed away last summer, but his legacy has been taken up just fine by CJ's new sister, Bubba, and I swear, Merlin's spirit must still remain, because Bubba sleeps in the exact same position as he did.
Syl, CJ & Bubba
