I have sad news to report friends. The other day I was enjoying some nap time in the den, when I thought I heard some activity in the hall. I noticed Dad was not present so I chalked it up to normal Dad activity.
Dad has been known to be quite industrious during extended cat naps.
I noticed a few minutes later that Mom had vacated the area, and I could hear them oohing and ahhing in the bedroom. I had to go investigate. Imagine my shock and horror when I realized MY BED had been carted away and an imposter was put in it's place!
I don't need to tell you how many good memories I had with Lumpy. So many naps, hours spent plotting on how to wake Mom, and Sunday morning playtime with my parents. Great times!
It was so wrong. Lumpy, cut down his prime. The mom and dad shaped divots and the many cat-shaped pits that fit us all just so, made him perfect. Sure he was old, but so is the rest of the family.
Some of us are also lumpy, not to point any paws at any human, Mom.
I don't trust this new bed. It's all even and cat-hair free (who could trust that?). The only nice thing I can say about it is that it's shorter and easier to leap onto... if I should decide to leap onto it.
For now I keep my distance and mew from the nightstand.
they didnt include you in this decision! how rude seems to me the bed may need a christening
ReplyDeleteAwww do you thinks lumpy wents to the bridge to waits for you? Him seems to has held you in very high regard...
ReplyDeleteWe is sorry for your lose Fin, is a terrible thing.
I like me a good lump too--how dare your humans not have your feelings in mind...! Stand your ground, Finny! It's the right thing to do!

Farewell Lumpy, RIP.
ReplyDeleteFin, the only course of action is to immediately commence be-furring the interloper mattress, once you decide it's OK.
For tonight, probably a long aria from the hall to signify your non-approval is appropriate.
If Lumpy went to the Bridge, just comfort yourself in knowing that there are lots of kitties there who will love Lumpy and appreciate him...
ReplyDeletePurrs. Give the new bed a chance, you might just love it. Maybe.
You had me for a minute with your title today!
ReplyDeleteI say it's time to break in the new place with lots of cat floof. Do you need me to send some to you?
Oh my gracious, I was scared for a minute there!
ReplyDeleteWhat are you waiting for!? Go mash a Fin-sized hollow in that bed!
WHAT?! They got rid of Lumpy without even consulting you? How dare they!
ReplyDeleteYou know, Fin, it might just be time to make new memories on the new bed=just think of all the fun you'll have leaving your fur all over it!...kisses sweetie...xo...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteHow awful! It's so hard to adjust to a new bed, getting it to smell right and mold to your body. But you better start working on it!
ReplyDeleteAww that is a shock! No transition period or anything! We refuse to sleep in anything new if it hasn't been introduced to us slowly!
ReplyDeleteUh oh, poor Lumpy! But this gives you the perfect opportunity to break in a new bed, find new napping spots, leave lots of fur--it's like a brand new playground, Fin. And our human thinks your mom and dad probably will sleep better now, too. LOL.
ReplyDeleteWhat!? They just carted off your bed without purrmission? You're parents have SOME NERVE.
ReplyDeleteAw, we're sorry to hear about Lumpy...but just think all the fun you're gonna have getting this new bed full of furs and making it just so!!
ReplyDeleteFin - we can't understand that if your mom and dad wanted a new bed why you weren't included in the discussion and of course choosing and testing of the new one before delivery. You could have put your paw down firmly and insisted the new bed arrived complete with the same comfortable lumps and hollows as the old one - look at all the work you've got to do now - you'll be exhausted. Don't use all your furs getting the bed to at least smell right. Save some for fur balls to hurl on their pillows. haha!!
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xxxx
I would be happy to come over and lump up your new bed with you, Fin!

That is so sad. They should have given lumpy to you in your own place instead of sending her to the bridge. Guess you will have to work as hard as you can to break in the new deal. Maybe some good leaps onto the bed will make some nice dents in the new one.
ReplyDeleteHave fun trying Fin.
Huh. Who can understand why hoomins do such silly things? Guess you're gonna have to work extra hard for awhile, Fin, to whip this new bed into shape.
ReplyDeleteHow could they do this to you with no discussion???
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting the new bed into shape.
I see it as your duty to introduce some floof to that new bed Finny!
ReplyDeleteOh Fin! How teribble!
ReplyDeleteHow awful Fin. How will you ever come to terms with losing Lumpy?
ReplyDeleteNow THAT'S complete and utter blasphemy! We should all make a stand!
ReplyDeleteOh no Fin! They could have at least purchased a pre-lumped model!
ReplyDeleteThat just aint right, Fin! Well, I hope you are able to break in the new imposter bed soon!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear this Fin. The HORROR!
ReplyDeleteGet your mom to roll around on it for a couple of hours to break it in a little bit for you.
Purrs,
Shade
If this were us having to endure this disregard for our feelings, we would definitely snub the humans -- just for a little bit. We employ the no-eye-contact, sulky technique when we want our mom to understand our disappointment. It may not help you this time, but in future they will stop and think before making a decision without consulting you. From time to time humans do the most silliest things, and then we have to remind them who wears the floof in the family. ~~purrs from Casper and Angel~~
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of the loss of Lumpy.
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry to hear about Lumpy. We think you should jump up and down constantly on the new bed and make sure you get lots of fur on it. Go break it in!!! Lots of love, Debbie and Holly
ReplyDeleteAh, Fin. That's too bad about Lumpy. And then they didn't even ask your permission...making it worse. "The Boys" like having those little shaped pits to burrow in so they are in complete sympathy.
ReplyDeleteMOL! Do yoo "mew from the nightstand" at night? We bet that goes down a treat! MOL!
ReplyDeletei know this must be hard for you but i must say it did make me smile (and i really needed it today!).
ReplyDeletecan you give us a picture of LUMPY next to a picture of the new evil cat-fur-free bed?
xo

Sounds like you have a busy time ahead getting it furred to the same high standard as Lumpy.
ReplyDeleteBuying a new bed without consulting the inhouse sleep, nap, snooze specialist? That is almost insulting.
ReplyDeleteWell Fin, try to look on the bright side. A cat hair free bed means you have your work cut out for you. If I were you I'd also jump right up there and claim the best spot before anyone else does!
ReplyDeleteGeorge
Fin
ReplyDeleteJust think of all the new memories you'll be able to have on the new bed, minus the lumps!

Mash up that new bed...leap on it from the night stand. TAKE a stand, Fin...just duit.
ReplyDeleteOh, you scared us. We thought Lumpy actually died. Even though we didn't know Lumpy, we didn't want anyone grieving for him. But, hey, grieving for your bed is okay too. It takes a long time to make a bed comfortable.
ReplyDeletehahameow...you had everyone fooled by the subject of poor Lumpy...you will make this new bed yours...and the humans will have to squeeze in someplace...
