Feline Fiascos: Making The Bed

If you don't own a cat (as if anyone 'owns' a cat) besides the fact that I feel sorry for you, I wonder if you know the correct way to make a bed?

Step One:
Attempt to anchor down all four corners of the sheet at the same time. In this step I was assisted by Oliver Thomas O'Malley who was trying to get that last stubborn corner on the mattress.





Step Two:
Once all four corners are fitted over the mattress, send in a cat to smooth everything down from the inside. Madeline was my assistant in Step Two.






Step Three:
Have another feline sit in the middle of the bedding and refuse to move regardless of coaxing, pleading, begging, prevailing and bribery. You then must wait until said feline, in this case Jasmine, deems herself to move. One never moves a cat-- which results in many a lost night of sleep.


Step Four:
The perfectly made bed. At this point the canine member of the household (IE: the one most like having a toddler or a man in the house) wanders in to see if he can be of assistance. Once finding that the task has already been completed, he will then plop himself on top of the freshly made bed and take his 23rd nap of the day. The part of the slacker is being played by Samson.
