The cat is always in charge

No matter how much room there is on my bed Oliver always seems to get right in the way of where my legs should be and in my spot Hubby is in the living room and Oliver and I are in the bed watching TV. I took the police blankets and made him a bed and a nest on the other side of this giant king size bed, but no, he’s laying right where my leg should be and my legs have nowhere to go. He always wants to lay up against me and feel my warmth I guess which is flattering but a little bit of a pain in the butt. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything because I love Oliver so very much Is your pet in charge of your household as well and do you give up your comfort to make your pet happy?

Oh yeah, Sadie rules the roost. I don’t know how many times she’s comfortable, and I’m struggling not to move so I don’t disturb her. It’s absolutely ridiculous, but I feel guilty having to move her, and nothing makes me feel like I do when I feel a wet nose against me. She’s everything. I LOVE seeing pictures of Oliver!

This made me laugh, cats really do own the whole bed even when you make them a nice spot of their own. Mine does the same thing, sits right on my arm like it's the only place in the house. Worth it though, love them too much to complain for real.

Cats always seem to be in charge. Oliver is just gorgeous.

Tell me about it! Gaia owns the place and can be quite demanding. Missy likes the Garden, but naps on my computer table, so there is no room for the mouse
