Margaret Fine - 03 Dec 2004 18:15 GMT Upon awakening this morning I noticed that I seemed to have many companions with me in bed. Besides my husband there was the dog, the cat, a squirrel, a penguin, a kangaroo, a pair of socks and a calculator. Sounds like the start of a dirty joke, doesn't it? ;-) Luckily the penguin, kangaroo, and squirrel were all stuffed and must have been dragged into bed by the cat in the wee hours. I'll admit that the socks were mine that I must have taken off in the middle of the night but wonder how the calculator got there?? One of those mysteries that will never be solved, I'm sure!

Or else someone wanted the sum of all critters in the bed???

Nikki usually brings her little piggy into bed in the middle of the night, meowling loudly. But only the piggy, no other stuffed toys.

Mojo has been known to bring his "catch of the day" in also meowling loudly, once it was a medium size rat (and not dead either!)
It's interesting to see how nightime behviour of my three has changed since moving up from Florida to Atlanta, in Florida I rarely had any visitors at night, they spent most of their time outside because it was nice and cool. Now, they seem to spend most of the night inside, woke up one morning this week and Emily was on one side, Muddy was at the end of the bed and Mojo was asleep on the bedside table. Of course there presence when I wake up could have something to do with "feed me."

I've told it before, but what the hell. I had just gone to bed, pretty tired, and almost immediately fell asleep-- then was almost immediately awakened again by him going WHUMP on the bed. And meowing. I reached down to scritch his head without opening my eyes when I felt it. A small, warm furry object, maybe about two inches long. I was confused-- then I felt the tiny scratch of its tiny claws. That's when I jerked straight up in the air. I still had no idea what it was, just that something that absolutely did not belong there was in bed with me. The tiny critter went flying to parts unknown, I slowly reconstructed in my mind what must have happened-- and I took my pillow downstairs and went to sleep on the sofa. After my heart rate came down from about 400. :P As usual, it was impossible to be angry with His Serene Goofiness, because he was so obviously crestfallen. ;)

>Stinky once put a (NOT dead) mouse in bed with me. Very uplifting. >;) Sounds like the time DH and I were awakened by some very unmistakable noises to find Felix in "Snoopy playing vulture" pose, about to unload a hairball onto DH's face. :-)

Very uplifting. > ;) One summer out on the island, I stretched my leg in the middle of the night and my bare foot hit something cold and wet. I snapped out of sleep and jumped out of bed to investigate. It was half a vole. My foot had hit the blood that had seeped into the sheet. :o/
Another time, I awoke to a dead vole dangling in my face, courtesy of Frank. He couldn't understand why I wasn't happy to get breakfast in bed.

Mary - 03 Dec 2004 22:06 GMT >Upon awakening this morning I noticed that I seemed to have many >companions with me in bed. When I first read your post I thought, hey, someone just like me, though the penguin did seem odd. Last night I slept with my husband, two cats on the bed, a skunk under the bed. A squirrel joined is in the morning barking for food as I forgot to leave her food by the cat door. No one was stuffed though my husband did overeat last night.

Mary - 04 Dec 2004 08:00 GMT >LOL! Yes, you do lead an interesting life. So Patchy and Mimi get along >enough to sleep on the bed with you now? Yes, but every once in a while Patchy pees on my pillow just to remind me that he is the king. The skunk likes to empty the trash can in the bedroom and drag the contents under the bed to sleep on.

It is the kangaroo that freaks me out. All of the other toys are usually laying on their backs but the kangaroo is always standing up and looking right at me with his beady little eyes. :-)

She leaves it around the house, always standing on its feet, but when she brings it into bed, it always lies on its back.

Here he is with my cat Patchy http://www.animaladvocates.us/images/areyoumymommy.jpg He runs free in the house. The squirrel has no teeth so she lives in a nestbox I built in the backyard. She comes in through the cat door if I forget to leave her food out for her. Everyone gets along but every once in a while Patchy has to spank someone or wave a sharp paw over their head and hiss.

He's not descented yet as he's too ill for the operation. He is a midget with CRF and can't breath too well. He's never sprayed. They will only spray if they feel their life is threatened. http://www.animaladvocates.us/images/patchynbooger.jpg

It seems like he's staying with you, so another name should be high on the agenda. At least you could call him Tiny or Titch, Tiddler or something small like that. We don't call them boogers here in UK. It's bogies. Ugh. (my niece, Charlotte, then aged two, holding out her finger. "Look at this lovely big bogie, Auntie Tina.") What to say? Nice? No. She obviously wanted me to admire it.
