Does your cat help change the bed linens?


Leia is always glad to help, but she was especially helpful this afternoon...and I didn't think to bring the camera upstairs. A five minute job took about fifteen, retrieving her out from under and starting again.... They do so enjoy bed making!

Winston used to love that game of bed making and Woody could usually be found under the duvet . Eva and Bernie dont seem to share the same enthusiasm sadly.

Well maybe not "sadly", as it is so funny, but it surely complicates the job!

Beauty doesn't like bed making! As soon as she sees the bed things coming out she's off! Pillowcases she doesn't mind as much, duvet covers and sheets she hates!

I would not say they help, normally merlin gets into the cover while I am trying to get the duvet into it!!!

Lol, BM. he and Leia have obviously discussed this; she's the same, except she likes to dash on the bed to get under the sheet as I'm flopping it in the air getting ready to put it on and start tucking in.....what a helpful boy he is!

Re: Does your cat help change the bed linens?


Leia is no help there whatsoever...remember, she doesn't like "people food", silly girl! All my others were extremely helpful...would even try to get on the counter to see if they could assist in chopping, slicing, etc! You gotta love 'em!

Re: Does your cat help change the bed linens?


Thanks for this thread Eileen. Your descriptions and boysmum's have made me laugh out loud.

Sadly, Merlin is much too elderly to help with bed making!
