I was doing my routine Saturday vacuuming with the vacuum monster when, in the Master Bedroom I was alerted to a "Bump in the Bed".

A medium sized Bump, to be sure.

Not Jumbo Velvet sized, but a Bump nonetheless.

Most Bumps fear the vacuum monster, and this Bump moved to the right of the bed as I vacuumed the left side of the bedroom floor.

As I started the laborious task of vacuuming under the bed, the Bump disappeared, leaving a trail of Bump-like marks under the smooth as glass comforter.

The Bump?

Only Velvet shares our restful time under the covers with me. (Yes, with her kicking my back during Kitty dreams) The Bump was not her. Anyway, she paws at the vacuum as if to make it go away. Cleo? Beneath her.

Besides, it was a medium sized Bump.

Suspect Bump is believed to be Tippy. Bella would not do this. Besides, she was watching the Science Channel.
