I'm a bit of a restless sleeper, I really like to thrash around when I
sleep. So I always worried that I would knock Smokey's brains out when she
slept under the covers on my feet. But she assured me that she wasn't using
them anyway. :)  I adapted by sleeping with one leg outside the covers and
one leg under the covers, so I could still move around. Smokey finally
stopped sleeping under the covers and took to sleeping on my arm, largely
out of jealousy. This is Cali's favourite spot. This was safer for her and
better for me. The only quirk is that she turns on the heavy gravity device
if I try to move my arm. It takes quite an effort to recover my arm some
nights.

Cali has always been an armpit snuggler. She likes to put her feet against
your body and sleep with her head on your shoulder or tucked against my arm.
This has never been a problem, as she doesn't like movement and will move to
the end of the bed at the first sign of unrest. I think she may have been
caught in a rollover in her younger days. She rarely comes to bed since we
got Smokey, except if it's exceptionally cold.

Cleo is new to the whole bed thing. We kept her locked up at night for the
first couple of weeks, as she hadn't had her tests and we weren't sure how
the cats would react to each other if left alone. The first night on the
loose she did a lot of mewling when she woke up alone on the couch. She
finally found the bed and discovered Smokey tucked under my arm. She sniffed
Smokey to make sure she was still alive and decided this bed thing must be
OK. She spent most of the next day in bed after having breakfast. By the
second night she had decided she was a leg sleeper (not again).

Last night Cali came to bed first to claim her favourite spot (She's been
coming to bed again, since Cleo arrived). Then Cleo arrived to check out the
situation. She had to sniff Cali of course, which brought an immediate hiss.
But surprisingly Cali hung around,despite her dislike of insolence. :)
Finally Smokey arrived, only to discover the best spots were taken. Smokey
will sleep on my left side if Cali is already in her spot (right arm), but
Cali will only sleep on the right side of the bed. Unfortunately she felt
Cleo was too close to her spot on my left, so she had to settle for the
bottom right. She knows Cali never stays long, so she only has to wait her
out. Sure enough Cali left after an hour or so and Smokey got to claim her
prize. That was pretty much the scenario for the rest of the night, pinned
on the right arm by Smokey and the left leg by Cleo.

I've never "slept" ten hours and woke up feeling so stiff. Time to train a
new cat on the proper way to sleep with Hoomans, wish me luck. :)
