Percy's New New Bed

Percy:  You might remember that last week Miss Pam knitted me a cat cave.  After two days, I was evicted by my nemesis Micah.   (Percy's Cat Cave, Part 2)   This week Miss Pam knitted me a new new bed. Thank you so much, Miss Pam! I thought you would like to know how much enjoyment I have had from it.

Micah:  I can't believe we have this new bed and Jan didn't even mention it when she stopped by my cat cave to pet me.  Good thing I caught a whiff of the new scent and followed it into the living room, just in time to get my picture taken on it.

Buddy: So how does it compare to the cat cave?

Micah:  It's a lighter weight and there's no cave, but it's a good size and very soft.  Excuse me a minute.  A cat should always take a bath when breaking in a new bed.

Buddy:  Then I'm glad I'm not a cat.  I just crash on the new bed and it breaks itself in.

Micah:  That's the difference between cats and dogs.  We have to follow etiquette.  Unless we aren't in the mood at the moment.

Buddy:  We follow etiquette too.  Especially if there's a garbage can or a mud puddle.

Micah:  This is the new bed.  Pretty colors.

Buddy:  Yes, blue for you guys and pink for Cyndi and Taylor. 

Rusty:  I didn't think Micah would every leave so I could have a turn.  It's already past my nap time.

Micah:  Hey, Rusty, you're in my new bed!

Rusty:  No, Micah, I'm in Percy's new bed.  You can have it back when I'm done with my nap.

Micah:  I don't believe this.  Rusty stole my new bed.  Guess I'll just sit here on my old cat cave and see what's going on in the neighborhood.

Percy:  That is what went on around here for three days.  I never got to set one paw on my new new bed.

Buddy:  Micah did get his comeuppance.  Sometime during the night he vomited on it and Jan had to wash it and hang it up to dry.  So no one got to sleep in your new new bed the past couple of days.

Percy:  You wait and see, when Jan tries to give it to me, Micah will find a way to reclaim it.  I'm trying to figure out how to donate one of the new beds to the church discount store up the road.

Buddy:  Why would you want to donate one of the beds Miss Pam so lovingly knitted for you?

Percy:  Because I'd donate it with Micah sleeping on it!

Correction:  As Yam Aunty pointed out in comments, this bed is crocheted not knitted.  As always, it's all Jan's fault.  She told us it was knitted.  Our apologies for believing her.

Percy's Cat Cave Part 2

Taylor:  Uh-oh, I see trouble on the horizon.  Percy hasn't had his new cat cave 48 hours (A Cat Cave for Percy) and now this. 

 Micah:  What's "this"?

Taylor:  You.

Micah:  I'm not a "this".  I'm a contented cat.  I found this wonderful new bed behind a door.  It's so soft and warm and no one was using it.

Taylor:  It isn't a bed.  It's a rock cave and Miss Pam knitted it special for Percy because you appropriated his hat and scarf bed. 

Micah:  I did not appropriate it, and I did offer him a time share, but he refused.

Taylor:  You know he won't use anything you've touched.

Micah:  Does that mean he won't want his cat cave back?  That's okay.  I won't mind a bit. 

Percy:  I don't believe it.  I left the room for two minutes ... two minutes for a litter box break and Micah stole my new bed.  Jan hid it behind the door so Micah wouldn't find it.

Micah:  I heard you won't be wanting it back, Percy.  Thanks for the new digs.

Percy:  Sunday I had a wonderful new bed.  Monday Rusty borrowed it for half the day.  It's only Tuesday and I've already been evicted.  (I know this is posting Thursday, but this happened Tuesday.  *sniff, sniff*)

Taylor:  I'll share with you, Percy.  You can nap in my box bed if you want.

Percy:  Thanks, but I miss my cat cave.

Taylor:  You mean your cat cave with the rock slide roof.

Percy:  Huh?

Taylor:  You flattened out the cave by sleeping on it.  The rock slide roof.  Don't you get it?

Percy:  No, and I don't want it.  Not with Micah's smell on it.  I'll just sit here a while in your box and try to remember how nice it was to curl up on my soft, warm, knitted bed.

Micah:  Thank you, Miss Pam, for knitting this cat cave for Percy to give to me.

A Cat Cave for Percy

Percy:  This new bed looks so empty, so I think I'll just take a nap on it.

Taylor:  I guess Percy doesn't understand the concept of a cat cave.  He's supposed to sleep in it, not on it.

Percy:  But I'm so comfy on it.  That nice Miss Pam knitted it just for me because Micah stole my knitted hat and scarf bed.

Rusty:  Hmmm, I don't know where this came from but it seems like a good place to take a bath.

Taylor:  Uh, Percy just went to the kitchen for a bite to eat.  He'll be back soon.

Rusty:  Okay, but as long as he's gone, I'll just take a quick snooze.

Percy:  Can you believe this?   I was only gone a few minutes and my new bed has been appropriated.

Taylor:  Don't worry.  Rusty will be leaving soon. 

Percy:  Ahh, finally I have my new bed back.

Rusty:  Are you done with it yet, Percy?

Percy:  No.

Rusty:  Well, I'll just sit here and wait until you are.
