Despite the Cats Get Any Bed They Want rule, Barnie sometimes makes an exception. He usually ends up getting squished though, and then second guesses himself.

Quincy loooves the Invisi-Cat Shield and has made good use of it.

In case anyone is unfamiliar, Quincy’s “best” use of the Invisi-Cat Shield was to “welcome” poor Purl into the fold.

A look back from his April 2011 use of the Invisi-Cat Shield:

The Pets Are Getting Wise to Quincy’s Ways

Slow day at the Invisi-Cat Shield recently…

Quincy Changes His  Plan

Finally Barnie Takes Pity on Quincy

The cats always choose whatever bed they want. The dogs don’t ask questions.

They grow up so fast…

It seems like yesterday that Quincy was learning all about the cat-dog bed situation from Barnie.

My pets and the story of their game of musical beds continues.

Argos, in particular, requires cushy comfort wherever he is. Want to calm him down in a new situation? A loud gathering? A boat on the water? Throw a bed down. Ahhhhh! He goes right to it, and gets comfy. He was even gifted his very own special bed by my friend.

Not to worry – we have several pet beds, but not one in every room. I lug the beds around depending on where we are going to settle for a bit. But sometimes I forget. Sometimes we are in a room… without a dog bed.

Argos acts insulted, sighing heavily a few times, pacing around, doing some turns before giving up and laying on the carpet. Oh, the things he must endure. Argos will stay in a room with a dog bed instead of joining the rest of us without a dog bed. Until he can resist it no longer.

Because of this, he sometimes gets beat for the best spot, as what happened the other day. Purl wasted no time getting in on the comfy-ness.

Another vacuum day, beds piled up on top of each other. Argos lucked out with the ‘double bed’ a while ago, but this time Purl seized the opportunity.

Purl is enjoying testing out products I receive to review. I recently received some products from West Paw – an Eco Nap flat mat and some toys.

A little uncharacteristically, Sophie hopped right on the new bed as soon as I opened the box. Usually, it is the cats and the Greyhounds who take over all pet beds with their various sleeping arrangements.

Purl requested to be the chief tester however, to put the bed through testing.

Nice. I can sleep on it.

And… look! It is also a toy!

Then I found that the label had been chewed off.

Sophie reclaimed the new comfy bed, now that it has passed through Purl Testing.

Part 2 (my review) of the Eco Nap bed

A beautiful sunny day, a nice long walk, some snacks….

you know what’s next. Nap time!

Argos is a super napper. He can sleep anywhere, and he sleeps deeply. Sleeping bliss.

Sophie naps, but stays in alert mode. She dreams happy dreams, but also doesn't want to miss out on anything.

Then there's Purl. Sometimes you just need a fire-y football pillow for the perfect beach nap.
