Ted, the calico ruler of our household, went one step further in her domination of the bed last night - she kicked me out! Like most cats, she has a way of taking up more than her share of the bed and last night she lay sideways (relative to me and Dave) and streeeeetched out with her rear claws contacting a delicate part of my anatomy. Needless to say it is a most potent reminder for me to trim her rear claws. Meanwhile I capitulated and spent last night in the relative peace and space of the spare bed.

This morning Dave said that Ted had clung to him all night and made sure that, at all times, he was arranged so that she was comfortable.

Ted rules and I am a mere servant living in the spare room (at least until I trim her claws this evening!).
