Well, for all of you who find this so amusing here is the update. I carefully (with two fingernails) removed my hugger pillow and headed toward the garbage can. Hubby yelled "what are you doing?" I told him I was pitching my hugger and I sure was going to miss it. I've had that same hugger for over 10 years!! Catnapper Kim understands the importance of this. Hubby says "Oh for heavens sake, just wash it! It's not going to kill you!"

Moral: Males of the feline and human species have the same attitude!
