How to Make a Bed while Living with Cats

Some people say that cats are assholes.  They may believe that cats, which can be independent, are cold and unloving.  This has never really been the case with any cats I have ever owned.  Currently I live with two very loving, curious and active males.  They often follow me from room to room to help with a multitude of daily activities.  My day typically starts with a wake up from Shamus who enjoys eating promptly at 6 am. This is followed by extra love in the morning from both to ensure that I have enough cat hair on me to last the day.  Lastly I am welcomed home and helped with any chores such as making the bed.

Step 1 - When making a bed while living with cats, you may find it best to start with a fitted sheet.  Once you have the fitted sheet partially on the cats will be more than happy to interrupt this process with a game and hide and seek. 

Continue as you normally would and smooth out the sheet once the game has ended with all players off the bed.

Step 2 - Next as usual is the bed sheet. 

Yes my sheet is wrinkly when it comes out of the dryer.  Some cats like Shamus may decide they are finished helping at this step; luckily Donovan is reliable and will stay until the job is done. At this point you may need to coax out your helper as shown in the video.

Step 3 – Blanket

Give up at this point and leave the blanket on top of the cat.  They will find their own way out.

You may find that cats will double the amount of time needed to make a bed but it will be damn cute every step of the way.  Enjoy your cat or cats everyday because unlike people only some cats are assholes.
