While I am indeed single, I still get to experience many of the joys that are part-and-parcel of sharing a bed with someone.

Like...

...snoring. Having your significant other snore, thus keeping you awake? Oh yeah. I get that.
Of course, in my case, it's slightly softer snoring noise, because the nose that's being all sniffly is much smaller, but the same principle applies.

...waking up in the morning because your significant other has decided to get up.
Which is getting ridiculous, because he keeps getting up at 5am. Or, this morning, half-past 4.

...hogging the covers.
Not that he does it intentionally. He just tends to dig his claws in, stretch, and pull the quilt further and further off the bed.

...uneven allocation of bed-space. When you suddenly realise that your S.O. is stretched out luxuriously across three quarters of the mattress, and you're stuck in one tiny corner.
Even more unfair when the one taking up all the space is about a tenth your size.

...being woken up in the middle of the night for some hot, hot, lovin'.
For "hot, hot, lovin'" substitute "hot, hot, pattin'", and you'd just about have it right.
Apparently, it's not good enough that he gets to sleep on my feet. I keep getting woken up at 2am by a tiny nose nudging my hand into patting position...

Hee! Silly ol' cats.


Is Elf feelin' any better, BTW? I know he was getting sick all over your kitchen for awhile there.

He's feeling a lot better, thanks.

And as soon as I get my quilt back from the drycleaners, no longer smelling like pee, my house can begin to recover...

Oh, that's good! I was worried your house was going to be permanent pee-zone.

-melts- I know those were all supposed to be annoying things..but..gah! So cute. I want a cat more than most anything else in the world. (Just don't tell the hamsters.)

They really are lovely.

It's like... I know he's technically annoying me, but I still want to just croon over how adorable he is...

Mine starts licking, nuzzling and kneading my face if he doesn't get that hot, hot pattin'. :p

I can so relate to this post. My cat Jedi is the most demanding bed partner I've ever had! :D

I so love your icon. I could just sit and watch it for hours.

As a person who is 10 days away from picking up her new kitty, this post just made me feel all warm and gooey! :)

*grins*

Kittens really are the best. Even when they're being a pain. :)

I sometimes share the bed with my husband (not every night, as he works nights), and sometimes with the cat - and this could equally be either of them...

Apparently, the one night we slept on a mattress in the living room, Hamish kept hopping onto Mark's feet, over his knees, running up the edge of the mattress, sitting beside his head, snuffling into his ear, licking his face/arm/leg/any bit exposed, then racing off. Then back. Continually. The whole night. Just in case there was now food/ pats forthcoming.
So, bunnies can apparently be just as bad. Not that I noticed, I blissfully slept through it all...
