Pets on the bed

[angieh]

Sorry Elaine - I am of the generation bought up on Beatrix Potter's books. "Soporific" was a word used in The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies to describe the effects of eating too many lettuces on the rabbits. It's a good word, not IMO long winded at all.

Which gets well away from the point that I find my cats' company relaxing and likely to help me go to sleep.

Soporific is a better word than sleepy. Try saying it without yawning! Onomatopoeic or what?

Lol @ Elaine, I didn't know what Saporific meant either, I had to google it! I loved Beatrix Potter and read them to my children too, but can't say I recall that word, love it though, will have to try and remember it!

Now Elaine, I do know what an Onomatopoeia is without looking it up, I did remember something from my school days! It is a word that sounds like the thing it is describing e.g 'crash' 'tinkle' 'bang' 'growl'

Sorry to divert from the thread, I love words! Our cats sleep in the kitchen at night, but allowed wherever they want during the day. The dogs sleep in our room at night - in their baskets - but have been known to creep onto our bed during the night! Again, during the day they are allowed wherever they want.
