Excellent Paws-n-claws included Heating Pad with a Purr by Elizabeth Emerald Artwork by MoonWillow at FanArtReview.com

Warning: The author has noted that this contains the highest level of language. My daughter's bedroom door has a cat-flap for the convenience of Bixby and Socks. I often find the pair lounging on my bed during the day; at night one or both frequently wake me by scratching at my door. I try to ignore them, but when I glimpse a paw frantically scrambling beneath the door, I know resistance is futile. My visitor is usually Bixby, who has the unfortunate habit of hogging the bed; the moment I permit him entry, he beats me to the punch, spreading himself dead center. Bixby's claws have an unpleasant tendency of extending themselves into my flesh should I dare to disturb him. I gingerly climb back into bed, giving him as wide a berth as I can manage. This necessitates squashing my back against the headboard and jack-knifing my legs, from which awkward position I slowly scootch down and unfold myself, taking care not to jostle him or rustle the bedcovers. The tortuous maneuver leaves me spread-eagled, from which ungraceful position I retrieve the flapped-and-padded hat that I keep under my pillow to protect eyes from claws. On my back, eyes covered, I eventually drift into restless sleep. Which is invaribly interrupted when Bixby has the audacity to encroach on my crunched-up, supine self ... ever further ...  And thus, for what's left of the night, I remain: with a twelve-pound pussy sitting on my ... ... chest.
