Miss Edwina,

Mr. Jones has a ritual quite similar to yours.
When I'm ready for bed, I announce to Mr. Jones "It's time to go in the bed" While I'm turming out all the lights and cleaning up for bed, I come out of the bathroom and Mr. Jones is waiting for us in bed.
As I try to get in, he moves off to the foot, then I adjust the covers and my husband turns on TV and I tell Mr. Jones "It's time to watch TV" then I put my arm out and he comes up and falls into it facing the TV. And there we all are. He lays on his back, all of our heads in line, and gets his belly rubbed.

Then, he makes a certain cry, and you know what...down to my ankle, to make sweet love to it.

Snowy, my Siamese boy, arrives after everything has calmed down. He comes up and lays down on his 'lamby' between our heads. He's happy there until, mysteriously, something alerts him, and he goes flying off the bed, right over one of us! Sometimes it's the slightest sound or motion. He's so jumpy. Now, repeat this ten times a night and that's how our night goes around here.
