My wife sleeps on one side with about a million pillows, and the cat sleeps in the middle. Over the course of the night, she slowly seeps further and further into my side, and if I get up to pee or anything she is in my spot when I get back. This is my life now.

The only solution I have found for this is to get a bigger bed. And if that doesn't work, keep getting the next bigger size until you have the biggest one

[–] idkmybffjoeysteel@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

my ultimate goal is a 7 ft emperor bed but sadly I have run out of room already

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A bedroom should just be completely made of bed. It's in the name.

[–] glans@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

I have had very very small bedrooms where the bed take >80% of the space. It's really hard to change the sheets and such. :( but cozy once its set up.

True, but the cat will keep stealing the goddamn lasagna!

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is, in fact, inevitable

You've inspired me to make a cat lasagna recipe. Keeping the salt down will be the biggest challenge but I'm thinking seaweed noodles, fishies and non brained olives (garlic and stuff that is in olive brine is real bad for cats but ilvues themselves contain the same psychoactive compound as catnip) and boiled fishes.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh wow, I had no idea cats could eat seaweed! I know they're obligate carnivores, but I guess seaweed is different from other plants?

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's the thing I'm not totally sure about, mostly in the amount. Cats will chomp grass when controversially outdoors and stuff, it's also salty af and it being from the ocean makes that most likely impossible to prevent. Carnivores do tend to chomp a minor amount of plant in the wild, a lot of herbivores also will totally snack on another animal if it's like super convenient. Deer and stuff will eat injured birds and squirrels snatch baby birds from nests.

I learned this as a result of some frantic googling after seeing a deer run across the road in front of me with bloody flesh dangling from its mouth. If my husband hadn't seen it too, idk that I would really believe it happened. Like a dog running around with a plushy, except a deer and the plushy is red tatters.

I used to grow wheatgrass for my most indoor (his choice: lazy) cat. Loved it.

Remember when people were trying to drink wheat grass. Bleh. Better for the cat.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

I've got a lil plant of that for my kitty to chomp

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

They'll love that last part especially.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

you can just shove the cat...

Soros says to his lowly foot-soldier: "Look at me... Look at me! I am the captain now."

If you develop restless leg syndrome they'll leave you alone when you sleep

[–] tamagotchicowboy@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Nah, cats are adaptive creatures they'll just demand to sleep on your shoulder like a parrot. This is what mine does.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mine lives on my shoulder like a parrot when I'm awake, she got really into it as a kitten and she'd hang off my rat tail, she's too big for that now but incredibly tiny for an 8 year old kitty, so now she's my scarf. When we're sleeping she'll come up and do a lil face mashing, my stubble is her favorite scratching surface and then she'll either cuddle up by my chest if I'm sideways or by my hip in a position I like to call the Big Iron so she's under my hand and I'm scritchin like It's high noon

[–] the_itsb@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Content kitty.

[–] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mine will whine at me until I roll over on my back and let him sleep on my beer gut.

[–] tamagotchicowboy@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

Mine just push shove their way through my pillow fort to my shoulders, there is no hiding.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

mine doesnt like to sleep with me, because i move too much. she cuddles with me to put me to sleep but moves to her comfy chair (right next to the bed) when i'm half-asleep.

[–] Meh@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

This is me but with a dog instead of a cat.

Every annoying chud and liberal that finds their way onto this site is a dedicated cat hater.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

D'awwwwwwwww

This is why catapults were originally invented. True fact.

I love our cat comrades

One of my favorite things is when my cat will curl up and sleep on my legs near my feet. It just feels so comforting.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Push the cat, show it you're the boss.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

carlin-pog The Big Cats own you!
