As you will have learnt from past information, Asha and I have several beds. To be honest, before she arrived, I was happy to just snuggle in between mum and dad and that became my favourite spot. However, upon Asha’s arrival, she favoured this bed, which she quickly converted into a flat bed, as opposed to the igloo which it was originally. Hence, I felt that I needed to join her, in order that she would not just assume that she could claim this as her own. Problem being, both her and I have grown loads now, and I had expected that once she had taken the hint, she might go and sleep in the fancy four poster bed, or in my cat carrier, or in her pink carrier, or on one of the bean bags, in fact anywhere other than in my spot. I spread myself out in the igloo (now converted into a flat bed) in order that she would go and sleep somewhere else. Problem solved, (thought I). No Asha, and no banana cat nips - WRONG!! She literally laid across me without as much as a Bengal blink. Even though it was obvious that there simply was not room for the two of us!! Or so I thought..
‘Fine' - ‘just suffocate me’, after all, the fact that I was here first means nothing to you!!! Surely, I thought, once she realises that I am not moving, she will surrender and go elsewhere - no chance!! Little Asha was staying put. As I laid there frustrated at her for her daring to impose on my sleeping quarters, I realised that it was actually rather nice to be together, and to enjoy the warmth caused by such close contact. I acknowledged the fact that I could still breath, and that I should take into account, she is still very young and obviously enjoyed this close bonding. Due to the fact she is still a lightweight, I could cope with her tiny weight, and was not really being crushed to death. Time to show my maturity (I thought).
Consequently, for her sake, I decided to allow her to stay and together we travelled to the world of Bengal dreams until the following morning. At 6.30am, when, as usual, I woke mum with a purr and a paw, and knocked Asha off the bed for trying to take over my role as the early morning call.
