where did I go wrong?


Now as some of you may already know, I, Seville the Cat, am not really a cuddle-up-with-the-peeps-in-bed kinda guy.  Never have been, never will be.


MOUSES!


But Saffy, on the other paw...


Well when my brother first came to live inside with us, Saffy Saffron Sassifras felt the same way as I.  Yup, I taught my new brother the rules and Saffy agreed: if a peep puts you on a bed, the first thing you do is jump right back down to the floor.


MOUSES!


But as of late...


Well as of late, Saffy Saffron Sassifras has decided he LIKES sleepin' on beds.


With peeps.


CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?


MOUSES!


Where did I go wrong?


Yup, it's true.  Saffy Saffron Sassifras actually LIKES sleepin' on beds - WITH peeps - nowadays.  Actually LIKES it, he says.  Likes as in...


Well...


Likes.


Again, can you believe it?


MOUSES!


Oh where-oh-where DID I go wrong?


And he doesn't sleep just any-ol'-where on the bed.  Nope, not just anywhere, at all.  Saffy Saffron Sassifras likes to sleep right in the middle.  Right smack down in the middle of the bed, he does.  And then he likes to stretch out.  Stretch way out.  Way, way, waaaay out.  Yup, he likes to stretch way out so his front paws are reachin' for one side of the bed, and his tail for the other, and...


Well...


Well let me put it this way:  last night, Saffron was in bed before Peepers with the result that Peepers had to sleep on the very edge of the bed, and...


And...


And the darned peep nearly fell out!


Of the bed, that is.


'Cause in THIS house, one never moves a cat outta their way.


MOUSES!


Methinks Peepers might need an inflatable mattress or somethin' like that.


You know, so if Saffy gets the best part of the bed first, Peepers doesn't have to sleep on the floor.


Well she still might, of course.  She still might have to sleep on the floor, that is.


'Cause remember, in THIS house, one never moves a cat outta their way.


Not ever.


But at least with an inflatable mattress, she'll be comfy on that there ol' floor.


Sorta.


MOUSES!

MOUSES!

Remember to mask up, too.

  4. MOUSES! Saffy sounds like he is in the mold of our Ava. We often sleep on the edges of the bed, because we don't move the cats here, either, Sivvers! XO

  6. I guess this is what they call evolution and progress of the fitest. BUT, warn Saffy not to go too far else he'll be out working to pay for keeping the peep in canned vegan tuna and what not ;)
