Time to change the bed this morning. Get up, greet four kitties snoozing. Gently lift each off the bed. Suggest they go for some cat chow or find a puddle of sunshine to curl up in. Two listen and leave the bedroom. First, pillow cases must come off. Oscar sees material sliding funny... must pounce, grab onto pillow case and bite pillow. Pick up Oscar and put him on the ground. Three pillow cases off, one to go. Felix jumps on bed to watch and lays on clean sheets in corner. Pick up Felix and put him on the ground. Get blanket and comforter off... funny thud when I push it on the floor. Unwrap comforter and find Oscar in it. Pick up Oscar and put him on the ground. Turn around to pull sheets off bed. Felix is laying in the middle of the bed. Pick up Felix and put him on the ground. New sheets... fluff them out. Lumps under sheet across the bed. Pick up Oscar and Felix... put them on the ground. Sheets on. Pull up blanket. Two lumps in blanket again. Pick up Oscar and Felix... put them on the ground. Pillow cases on. Go for comforter. Search for lumps first! No lumps. Turn around to put comforter on the bed. Both cats stretched out on fresh sheets... (sigh), pick up Oscar and Felix and put them on the ground. Get comforter on!!! Put pillows on bed!!!! Okay, now kitties can get on bed!!!!

Oscar chases Felix and they take off like thunder down the stairs. (Sigh).
