Kitties!
Tiny Johnson here, and I have a fun story to tell.
The other night, Mommy was almost asleep. Me and CC and Konakitty and Grayce and Rupert were all in bed with her, and I had shotgun by her pillow. The bed was full of purring happy sleepy kitties, and one pinned-in Mommy, who was getting hot. And thirsty.
Mommy decided she needed a sip of water, so she slithered up and out the middle of the bed and toddled towards the kitchen.
Suddenly, the peaceful night was rent by terrible growls and howls!
The toddling sped up and a light went on--and Mommy saw Sylvester, with a bottlebrush tail and the rest of him poufed out to twice his size. Truly, she never imagined he could make his tail that HUGE. Apparently Henry (our Outdoor Boy) was staring in through the front windows and Sylvester took exception to this.
Mommy soothed Mister Angry Tux and coaxed him into his fleecy box bed on the coffee table, turned off the light, and finally got that drink of water. Quenched, she came back to bed, and patted all around on the covers to make sure she didn't squish anycat when she reinserted herself back into her designated six-inch wide slot.
Which had been pre-empted by ME! I was in the warm spot with my head on the pillow.
ha ha ha ha!
Well. Mommy was undeterred, she got into bed and pulled the covers over me! She snuggled me into her chest and told me that I was so nice to cuddle; that I hadn't done this since I was a wee kitten tot.
Kitties, I caved. I purred like a freight train and we fell asleep.
Mommy - 1
Me - 1
I say we both won that round.
Happy Monday!

Brulee doesn't really like to be held yet, but she is a real snuggle bunny when Mom Paula goes to bed at night.
ReplyDeleteTruffle and Brulee
We think you both won that too , Mr Teeny Tiny Johnson dude.
ReplyDeleteWe are taking careful notes on your bed positioning - we often have 5 on the bed but our distribution is less random than yours and we think Äiti gets more room than is perhaps necessary. However she does kick about a lot in bed so we are arranged for safety!
Aww, I bet you made a great little spoon, Johnny.
ReplyDeleteI LOL'd at your mom having a 6" section of bed. That's how it is for me too- Scarlett on one side, Melly on the other.
An excellent story with a happy ending!
ReplyDeleteMore proof kitties are not subordinate to hoomans, if that was needed. Carl often takes the mom's place, before him it was Lumpy and Toby who battled over spots with her. What's with those mancats? If your mom lost, Tiny, would she have used some of those heated kitty boxes?
ReplyDeleteGreat win-win for all of you! Mommy included. We do that too, but pin TBT down better. He has to carefully crawl out of bed to go pee at night like crawling out of a sleeping bag. And watchin him crawl back IN unner the blankies is an exercise in gymnastics.
ReplyDeleteBut ya know, he really surprised us one night. He just kicked up the blankies til we all got off! He has real dominance moments. Few and far between, thankfully.
You do look snugglicious! Your Mommy really doesn't haf more than 6 inches in the bed! Looks like you kittehz are doin a good job of keepin her warm! xoxo
ReplyDeleteBoy, six cat's in bed, no wonder your Mom was hot! Our Mom gets hot with us two cats, the slobbery woofy and Dad. Guess we should just shoo Dad to the couch!!!!!! MOL
ReplyDeleteJohnny, My Human would like to work out a trade: You for me and a kitty to be named later that she doesn't have yet. Whaddya say?
ReplyDeleteP.S. How *dare* Henry look in the window! What could he have been thinking??? Ha ha ha @ Sylvester!
That's a good win win situation!
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you two cuddled all night...that makes us humans VERY happy!!! I laughed so hard because I also do the "slither" ALL THE TIME, so I know exactly what your mum was talking about :-)
ReplyDeleteSometimes my human actually SHOVES us kitties out of the way when she gets up! And usually I sleep on a pillow at the foot of the bed... but she has been known to KICK IT OFF THE BED in her sleep! She is terrible. I think we kitties need our own king-sized bed.
ReplyDeleteTiny...erm. You just aren't that tiny. I hate to say it.....
ReplyDeleteHey lover boy....you're so handsome no wonder your mommy loves cuddling you. Yeah...that's how it should be. Just 6" of space for mom. purrr....meow!
ReplyDeleteLOL I thought I had it bad trying to get out of bed with three cats round me!!
ReplyDeleteMr. Sylvester I absolutely feel for you ! I just run around the house like nut ! I try to protect my house from the kitty on the roof !!! But mom said it was no kitties on the roof just the sound of air con just turned on. So now she turned it off, so now I calm down ; )
ReplyDeleteMr. Johnny, my mom swoon !!!! she said you so cute and fluffy !!!but I wonder how heavy you are ? You look bigger than me ( I'm 6.4 kg. )
We like to pile on the bed too!! Mom says she feels like she is zip-locked inside the bed!!! heehee

Tiger,Treasure and JJ
How lovely to get furry cuddles. Have a great day kitties. :)
ReplyDeleteAWwwwww mum certainly has exciting nights with you kitties!! Awww Mr Johnny!! You are beyond smoochy adorable! You are just swoon-a-licious!!! Lucky, lucky mum!!
ReplyDeleteMr Sylvester!! You are just fierce!!
Awww yay for Henry too!
Take care

All those kitties snuggling on the bed - sleeping in heavenly peace. We just make visits for scritches during the night, checking the humans, and when they wake up, we leave. Not sleeping in heavenly peace.
ReplyDeleteMOL, we did that to Mommy while the Daddy was away. We have been regulated to the garage now that he is back. Mainly because Scylla takes up so MUCH ROOM. That looks like a very comfy spot Tiny I thinks I will come cuddle with you, it is cold here. ~Arty Mouse
ReplyDeleteHahaha LOL! Love the reenactments! That was a very fun story.
ReplyDeleteYou kitties have a super week!
xo Catherine
We're super-impressed with your reenactment! And you're such a smoochable, cuddly mancat, Johnny, that our mom says it would be bliss to spoon with you. She used to love to spoon with Chumley.
ReplyDeleteBTW, you give your mom 6 inches in the bed? She's so tiny we're not sure she needs even that much.
It really is ridiculous the way humans consider that the bed belongs to THEM. Your Mommy is fortunate that you let her sleep there at all. Though I bet if he wasn't in the bed it would not be as appealing to you all.
ReplyDeleteYou allow your mom 6ins????? Profligate. She needs cutting down to size :)
ReplyDeleteWe love the snuggle picture and those cute paws we see!
ReplyDelete~ The Bunch
OMG...you are loved. Love your nighttime companions.
ReplyDeleteWe both keep pushing our mum over to one side and then we stretch out
ReplyDeleteacross the bed. Ha! Ha!
He's so smooshable! I just want to hug him! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! All those cats on the bed with no hissy fits! Me would never stand for that, me wants to be the ONLY cuddler with my Mommy.
ReplyDeleteBTW yous is a very cute Man Cat!
Kisses
Nellie
We visits our human in the night, but she thrashes around too much to sleep with. She really likes to snorgle bellies...Tiny, better watch out!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the re-enactment! That brings everything to life. It must be a mom thing to slither & toddle because ours does that too!
ReplyDeleteBut TIny, how smart you were to see that warm spot opportunity & get tere first! And to cuddle like that & make mommy so happy, that is tops!
Only the best storytellers use the word "toddle.". Enjoyed the reanactments too.
ReplyDeletehehe....we sleep like that too - pin the mom to the bed. Tommy ended up under the covers last night but escaped pretty quick. Glad you got some cuddles and we hope Sylvester and Henry aren't too traumatized by their late night meeting.
ReplyDeleteJohnny, you are so handsome!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, every time I wonder if four cats is too much, I think of you guys and feel reassured! Hahaha!
Love Mommy's jammies. She has an awesome wardrobe.
Well, what an interesting evening!!! You leave your Mom 6
ReplyDeleteinches? We try to give ours less than that!
The only one of us that snuggles much with Meowm is Orion. He is more than happy to lay on Meowms lap and snuggle with her at bedtime. He doesn't stay there all night, but he will at least snuggle with her for awhile!
Maybe Henry is thinking about coming inside and being a spoiled Lounge cat? Zippy won't sleep on da bed wif da rest of us and our heater, er, mom but she likes to slip in der when we get up to get our midnite snack. Sometimes we don't know she's der 'cuz she crawls over mom and unner da covers.
ReplyDeleteThose are quite some tummy furs! Wow! Very nice. Of course, you snuggled him in!
ReplyDeleteDo they neighbors mind if you get him neutered and pay for it? Or, maybe you could just do it and see if they even notice! Maybe the vet could put implant testicles in place, so no one needs to know!
Johnny I just knew you were a Mama's boy...and that is OK!! Any boy who loves his mama that much makes a fine and loyal friend.
ReplyDeleteHugs madi
Awwwwwwww, sweet, handsome, Johnny who wouldn't want to cuddle you? You look so much like our Snookums and she is a lovey dovey cuddler. You two would make a lovely pair. All these pictures are adorable. Hugs and nose kisses
ReplyDeleteHello there:-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog, and her I am.
Wow, there are many of you, bet mom has busy and very cosy days.
Hugs from Pernille XXX
I love snuggling with Mommy sometimes too. But I can only do that when Daddy's away. He's just jealous of my manliness, I bet. Bah.
ReplyDelete...Cosmo
WE do the same thing to our Mommy at night. We surround her and it is all she can do to get out of the bed. Luckily if she gets up, we all get up with her to see if there is a snack in the making, so is able to back in the bed if she is fast. Great pictures of all of you. Take care and have a great day.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky! My kitties won't share the bed with each other. They have on occasion, but it was tense.. I'd love to have a bed full of furry sweeties!
ReplyDeleteI could have used that photo at the top for my "Sleeping with Cats" post!
ReplyDeleteAw...Johnny you are a cuddler at heart! :)
ReplyDeleteLP does , " the slither" too every single night when she gets out of bed to use the bathroom (her bladder is the size of a cat kibble)...she sucks at the slither though 'cause she always disturbs everyone! Geesh....
the critters in The Cottage xo
I sleep at Mom's feet and she tries not to disturb me as she gets up to go to the little room and then she's careful getting back in bed...mol We cats rule....I wonder if Henry will be snuggling with you all some day.
ReplyDeletexoxo Kassey
Oh my, those introoders that go bump in the night can cause such a fright!
ReplyDeleteWe luff snorgle stories!
ReplyDeleteHAHA! We loved that. Wouldn't it be cool if you oculd turn your purring power into electrical power!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
xo Katie
Own... you´re so fluffy and gourgeous!
ReplyDeleteKisses on nose!
Purrfect bedtime story since it´s time to go to bed if you live in Sweden :)
ReplyDeleteGlad it was 1 to you and 1 to your mom :)
Do you realize that almost half of you guys were on your momma's bed with her? We know she loved that!
ReplyDeleteWe're impressed your mom was able to wiggle out of bed with all of you on it like that! And Johnny...you're right...we think you and your mom both won big time with all the snuggling that went on!
ReplyDeleteOh, Tiny you are one sweet-looking 'tiny' furball! We certainly like the photo of all of you on the bed - you even let your mom have a teensy bit of space!

Very sweet! I sleep with my calico girl. We have a super strong bond, so we hate being away from each other. I can't sleep well without soft fur and purrs next to me =)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a win for all! Great re-enactment, too!
ReplyDeleteJohnny the love muffin!
ReplyDeleteWe say that was a win win win.

not enough of us kitties to pin mum in her bed. Plus she moves us out of the way if she wants to get up. She doesn't slither out like your mum.
ReplyDeleteYour mommy is so lucky to have so many kitties to cuddle with!!
ReplyDeleteThat was definitely a win win situation. Mum likes it when I get under the quilt and snuggle against her.
ReplyDeleteFlynn
Sounds like a win-win to us! With it being so cold here lately, we have been doing lots of snuggling, and it does take some maneuvering to make sure that all of the fur people have a comfy spot and that Mom doesn't fall off the bed (we don't give her much room and she is usually balancing on the edge of the bed).
ReplyDeleteThey all look comfortable on your bed. It's funny how they can take up all the bed and we're left with a very narrow space.
ReplyDeleteThat was an incredible re-enactment! You all are great actors because we beleived you were all ready for bed! Our mommy is so jealous of having so many kitties around and we all love Johnny!
ReplyDeleteWe love Johnny! Now our boys say they want MORE cats on the bed!
ReplyDeleteThere is always room for one more!
ReplyDeleteSix cats in bed - utter bliss.
ReplyDeleteohhhh, thank you fur the re-enacted pictures!! our mommer sez she hasta liff vicatiously through you, acause we can't sleep wif her onna counta her lergies.
ReplyDeleteHey we really enjoyed theese re-enactments! Especially with the Johnny involved!
