Dogs and cats are taking over. The world as we know it is about to end.

[Lil Missy]

I know this. My precious pooch already steals my pillows and trashes my blankets. The cats sleep on me at night and taste me while I'm sleeping.

They have secret meetings more and more frequently. They even follow me to the biffy; sure, so they can try to trip me if I try to move.

I've taken out Life Insurance. I don't think this will end well for me.

*sigh*

1. Pfft. I should post a pic of me sleeping at night.

Pushed way off to the side, just enough space to stay completely on the bed. My two boys, almost 200 lbs combined stretched out next to me. My cat, runs AT my feet knowing that I'll hop out of the way, potentially into something sharp.

Don't get me started on my pitbulls.

2. That's nothing. I have to sleep with multiple cats.

I have three cats. Pffft, you say; cats? Cats are tiny, harmless animals who can't possibly affect how you sleep.

But no. Cats have the amazing ability to swell to the size of water buffalo after you go to sleep. And they each weigh about as much as a Volkswagen. When cats sleep with you they pin you down to the bed and make it impossible for you to move at all.

The horror. The horror.

4. yup

i have more mobility and space when it's my fiance and i sleeping than i do when it's my two girls and myself.

6. My cats do that too, and it begins to hurt my arthritic hips after a while.

14. Try sleeping with five on a cold night

One on the pillow (rotating basis, a change generally preceeded by "hiss" "growl" & a couple of swipes with paws), another cuddled up right next to my face, one on my left side, another on the right, both in the exact spots I need to stretch out my legs, and one on top of me, despite the fact that I sleep on my side. So basically I'm trapped in a very small space on a queen-sized bed. :eyes:

When it's warm, I only have 1 or 2 on the bed, but when it's cold, forget it.

5. Mine take over my bed too. I have to slip in

through the top and go through many contortions to make sure I don't disturb them. Otherwise they go have a meeting. My dog is only about 22 pounds though.

9. Oh, that is so sad. I knew that wouldn't end well.

:(

[firedupdem]

10. sorry..I posted a thread just to make sure you saw it...I will delete

it. :(

[Lil Missy]

11. no need to delete. It's a new topic. I responded to it before you deleted.

12. The only thing my dog knows how to do is to eat his poop, then throw it up.

[Lil Missy]

13. Mine would eat kitty litter, so I keep it in the basement. He can't get down there.

Yuk!

[TZ]

15. Hell yes.

My two cats are wrestling to make me think they are playing..they are really communicating telepathically during that about how best to run the household...As it is, one now has taken to supervising my bathroom visits. I am convinced she thinks my "litterbox" training needs watching...

[raccoon]

16. Well, good. I don't like the world as we know it. Cats and dogs could run it better anyway. nt

[deucemagnet]

17. Not to worry.

Despite the meticulous and deviously laid plans of our feline and canine companions, you cannot achieve world domination when you think the vacuum is going to eat you.

[Lil Missy]

21. Hmm, good point there.

:rofl:

[schmuls]

18. Shit, lately I have been on the edge of a big bed, just so my 3

cats could sleep in their favorite spots.

19. You know that cats are really aliens. Here is visual proof:

Typical Alien, as reported by people who think aliens are visiting them at night:







Now, put ears and whiskers on it, and what do you have?

[Lil Missy]

22. The resemblance is uncanny!

:scared:

20. I am fighting back.

I've started with my orange cat, Hercules, who rules through his insanity (the other cats run and hide when he begins to see those invisible flying things). I began my campaign by dropping snacks near him when he's sleeping (helps that Herc is fairly deaf)--now he accepts the existence of Ceiling Cat, giver of all things that are good. My next step is to convince him that Ceiling Cat does not want the humans to be killed, since beings with opposable thumbs make good slaves. Not a perfect plan, but the best I can manage.

23. I'm going to switch which end I sleep on now. So as to confuse them. Might buy me some time.

I'm fixing my sleeping area to switch ends now. They are getting nervous. I think they'll have another meeting soon.
