Hi, Diana! <-:

Thanks for the nice words! I must be honest. I got the idea from a girl who
works at one of my clients' companies who has a dog. She always asks me how
Isis is and, of course, I always have a long winded set of stories to tell.
When I explained my Bed Hog Blues misery she gave me the idea!

Initally, when I first let Her Majesty sleep in my room, she decided that
6:00 a.m. was an ideal time for me to get up. She would climb on my bed and
jiggle the door knob next to me. The 2nd day she tried this we developed an
understanding based on a flying pillow.

Since that time Isis and I get along just great in the sleeping department!
"Morning" is defined as the time I get up.
When she flops into that pre-warmed kitty nest her eyes go all googly and
she slips into a trance. Once in a while she creeps upstairs for a midnight
snack but always always she is called back to the warm heaven of her heating
pad kitty nest.

When I do get up (I'm a nite owl) I feed her canned food. This is critical
to our success together for the rest of the day.

There has been compromise on both sides of the fence and we have worked
things out to a smoooooth routine!

I love your web page and "The Furry Ones". They both look very very
squishable!

P.S. Do you ever use your cats as pillows?
