Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2006Beanbag bed
I just heard a sort of crunching noise from the next room. It was Kitty FC slightly moving her position on the beanbag bed next to the fire. She *does* love it, I knew she would eventually. Beanbag beds are ideal for old pets, they are warm and provide support whatever position the pet adopts to rest or sleep and raise them off the floor out of any possible draughts (drafts.) She is not about to admit it though. She gets off it if she notices me come into the kitchen and complains that she wants her old sheepskin back and that no kitty in their right mind could possibly sleep on a BEANBAG!!. Unfortunately for her cred, she is now often so sound asleep on her beanbag when I go into the kitchen that this doesn't wash ;-) Tweed > She is not about to admit it though.

I took my camera into the kitchen a few minutes ago and she was off her beanbag and snoozing on the rug in front of the fire. "What, me, on the beanbag? you must have been dreaming.." LOL! She is such a tiny cat and she can make a fool of me all the time. I love her great spirit. Tweed > > She is not about to admit it though.

I touch up dark pics with IrfanView all the time. Open your pic. Click Image, Enhance colors, Gamma correction - slide the "blip" to the right until your pic looks OK. It's really a great little program, especially as it's free.

Chak SignatureWriting is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards. --Robert A. Heinlein >> She is not about to admit it though. She gets off it if she notices >> me come into the kitchen and complains that she wants her old [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Chak That was my first move. New beanbag, put the sheepskin on top. It seemed logical. Gently introduce and all that. Nope, not a chance. My Sheepskin Is Too High, she announced, I Do Not Have a Bed to Sleep On. Whereupon she took herself off to perch on the kitchen stool in a huff overnight, this poor cat with no place to sleep. I was determined that she would use this beanbag bed as I really feel it would be the most comfortable for her. It's off the floor, adjusts to whatever position she's in and the polystyrene beads inside absorb her warmth and reflect it back. I took her sheepskin away and left her with the beanbag, and the fire next to it, of course. It was a bit of a war of nerves then ;-) I Will Never Sleep on a Beanbag, said Kitty, I Want my Sheepskin. I said Yes You Will. Anyway, she now loves the beanbag. I will drape her sheepskin over it when I am certain that she'll continue to sleep on the beanbag. It's not a real sheepskin, btw, just fabric like it. Tweed >I just heard a sort of crunching noise from the next room.

I'm going to look for one for myself. ;) Could you put a sheepskin on the beanbag?

I really can't understand why her sheepskin is not *right* on top of the beanbag. Well, it just ain't, somehow. Kitty is lying on the hearthrug eyeing up this totally unacceptable combination and assuring me it's illegal and claiming she's in a draft. Tweed >> Hey, I'd like a beanbag.

Except they were always in these horrible vinyl coverings that were slippery and cold. Plus, you simply *can't* get out of them, even if you're young, lightweight, and in good shape. >> Could you put a sheepskin on the beanbag? > > I keep trying this. Another attempt tonight. I really can't understand why > her sheepskin is not *right* on top of the beanbag. Well, it just ain't, > somehow. Maybe the mechanism, where the beanbag reflects her warmth back to her, doesn't work as well with a sheepskin in between? Could be she's just more comfy with just the beanbag. Why not let Boyfie have the sheepskin, since KFC likes the beanbag? Weren't they squabbling over the sheepskin at one point? Joyce > >> Hey, I'd like a beanbag.

No, I don't expect them to share, they have their own beds. Boyfie has his own wicker bed with a fleecy blankie in, under the kitchen table. However.. guess what I just noticed when I went into the kitchen? Boyfie is sprawling very comfortably on the sheepskin which is on top of the beanbag and Kitty is on a kitchen stool scowling. OMG. There could be trouble ahead. (sorry, earworm..!) Tweed > No, I don't expect them to share, they have their own beds. I didn't mean share. I meant that you would keep the beanbag and the sheepskin separate. KFC would have the beanbag and Boyfie would have the sheepskin. > However.. guess what I just noticed when I went into the kitchen? > Boyfie is sprawling very comfortably on the sheepskin which is on > top of the beanbag and Kitty is on a kitchen stool scowling. Uh oh... I say, put the sheepskin on the floor and maybe Boyfie will follow. Then KFC can have her beanbag back. > There could be trouble ahead. (sorry, earworm..!) Fortunately, I don't know the song you're referring to! Joyce >>>> Hey, I'd like a beanbag.
