The Green Blanket

I washed the green blanket that goes on our bed the other day - it wasn't time to change the bed yet so I set it on the end of the bed.  The green blanket has been the source of many a cat fight or a sneaky manipulation by the kitties to get to lay in its fluffy softness.

Aggie has been the primary occupier - she growls and hisses if others come too close - she wants it to be her green blanket.  A few times Zoey will sneak her way up there and be all smooth - pretending to cuddle with Aggie and give her a bath.  Then....munch - she bites Miss Aggie on the ear or on the neck.  Then Aggie leaves in a huff and Zoey is victorious and gets to lay in the blanket.

Phoebe is usually the patient one - she waits til everyone goes downstairs for food or whatever other reason and then she gets comfy.

Oliver is the brute force one - evicting the girls by standing on them, batting at them or chasing them off the bed.  Then he curls up and tries to look innocent.

The ferrets are funny - they don't want to lay on the blanket - they want to lay in it.  They find their way between the folds and curl up.  When they want to be ornery they push up on the sleeping kitties - who - by the way don't find the ferrets particularly entertaining in this instance.

The should enjoy - Monday is bed changing day and the folded up blanket will go away and they will have to find somewhere else to squabble over....
