It is All About the Cats
Woman in the Middle | November 29, 2016We are getting a new mattress set delivered today. My lower back CAN NOT WAIT to give it a try tonight! Of course, one of the first thoughts we had was “Got to get those dust bunnies under the bed vacuumed up before the new mattress arrives!”
So, bright and early this morning, before Hubby went off to work, I stripped the bed and he and I moved the old mattress and foundation out of the way so I could vacuum before the new ones arrive. For those cat lovers out there, it will be no surprise that Lumos and Nox had to be RIGHT THERE and involved in the whole process! The mattress was heavy enough, we didn’t need 10 pounds of cat riding it like a surf board, too!
This is what happened. Nox jumped up on the mattress. Hubby and I picked it up and start to move it. Nox ran to the end of the mattress and jumped onto the trunk we have at the end of the bed. Hubby and I then continued to move the mattress, gently nudging Nox off the trunk with it until he finally jumped down and we could move the mattress where we wanted to. Repeat the same process with the foundation. Both were too heavy to lift over Nox and he ignored all entreaties to get out of the way!
Meanwhile, just as we wanted to pick the foundation (which is really just a heavy wood box) out of the bed frame, Lumos dove under the bed. Sigh. We really didn’t want him there in case the foundation accidentally slipped out of our hands. We didn’t want to squish him! Happily, nothing slipped and no cat got squished.
Finally, everything was moved, and now the boys are playing in our bedroom like it is Disneyland! Onto the trunk, off to sniff around what we store under the bed that is now exposed, over to check out the mattresses which are standing upright against the dresser. Oh what fun! Of course, we are so happy we could make their morning! Because, after all, it is all about the cats!
