RICHARD, as soon as I read this I took my laptop over to my mom and read it to her.

She waits to make her bed so Binky (the cat formerly known as Shiney/Shydey) can have as long a sleep as possible.

Once the bed is made, she creates a nest out of a blanket just for him. Sometimes she folds part of her quilt over the nest so he is comfy.

However, the bedding does get laundered regularly!

Loved the poem!
