Ten Cats by Graham Harrop for February 23, 2025

Speaking of beds, I had a hard time getting to sleep on Friday night because there was a cat (I’m pretty sure it was Raven) playing under my bed. But when I looked under the bed, I couldn’t see the cat. It was sort of dark in the room since I only had the lamp on rather than the overhead light. Well, when I got up in the morning, I took another look under my bed. I had a suspicion that the cat had been playing inside the box spring. Sure enough, I saw a few holes in the underside of the box spring. Plenty big enough for a cat to climb through. Well, I’ve fixed that now. It was a job, but I pulled the mattress and box spring off my bed (that mattress is HEAVY!!!) and I put a mattress protector on the box spring. I intended to buy one of the zippered mattress protectors, but when I opened the package, I realized that I had bought a fitted one. Well, it works, so that’s what I used. I have another mattress pad on the top side of the box spring. So, at least for a while, there will be no more cats playing in my box spring while I’m trying to sleep. Tough luck, Raven!
