Nothing earth shattering but here goes: My senior Pigeon is now 18 and lately she's been nothing short of needy. I don't let my cats sleep w/me except for Puddy because she's in CRF and when she gets sick, she goes downhill fast. She comes into bed w/me, gets her night time noggin noogie, then she either goes to the bottom of the bed or to "her" room. (Ok, Mary, get to the point.) Well, Pidge lately wants more attention from me and she's become less sociable w/the rest of the fur posse except for the love of her life Boo. So I've been letting her sleep on my bed during the day, knowing full well that I was probably creating a monster. Now it's happened. She wants to sleep w/me. Sigh. My health is not the best, I'm on serious pain meds, and I need as much room as I can get in bed to get comfortable and to try to get some sleep, which has always eluded me. Two cats in bed w/me poses a problem. But this cat broke my heart last night when she scratched and scratched at the basement door, wanting out and crying, too. So tonight I'm going to give it a whirl and see how it goes. I sure don't want the rest of the fur posse thinking that they can push the envelope and sleep w/me. Seven cats in bed...uh, no. Not happening. I need my sleep, what little I do get of it. I'm not even sure why I'm posting this. Maybe because things run smoothly around here and I sure don't need it to change. Think I'm doing the right thing?
P.S. Yes, I've had her to my vet very recently just to be sure she isn't sick. She had a complete senior workup done, had her teeth cleaned, etc. He said she had the checkup of a kitten. She's just getting older now.
