So…Special Someone and I bought a new mattress on Saturday.  A “select-number” firmness type of mattress.  It was being delivered today so last night I stripped the old mattress in the master bedroom to get ready.  Among other things the dust-ruffle was safety pinned to the old box-spring and it took forever to get unfastened.

So I slept in the guest room last night.  And discovered that I had broken several rules.

A) Downstairs is cat territory.

B) The guest bed is cat exclusive.

C) Breaking “routine” is a cat no-no.

D) Breaking Cat rules results in a largely restless night.

E) Invading cat territory means slamming doors, constant scratching in the litter box and commando dashes across the bed.

I have learned my lesson.  Besides…tonight we get to break in the new bed.
