Yes, but they don’t use the beds. Ever.

Seriously though, mine has a bed. A huge one at that. It’s supposed to be for big dogs. She has used it twice. When we go to bed, she just climbs on ours and that’s where she sleeps. :p

Diesel has two beds I made for him, both of which he uses regularly. He also has four notable other sleeping spots that just kinda happened.


Diesel is a strange little man. :p

I’m sure some cats use their beds. Mine never have though. They claim my bed and that’s it. I just am lucky they let me sleep in it too. XD

Diesel is very strange. I still haven't confirmed he is not in fact Blaat in disguise.

Luckily, cats are usually generous enough to share.

I remember sleeping curled up in a ball a few times, though, when my cat claimed my bed and was sleeping horizontally at full stretch. I did try to nudge her over, and she sort of woke up and gave me the big cat eyes, then fell back to sleep. I ask you, how could I do it? :lol:

Nope. Unless that's what the "Ring-Con Strength Setting" is for and I hadn't realised because it defaulted to maximum after calibration.

Perhaps, and I'm just spitballing here, he is being utterly idiotic because he very well knows that it generates your affection, and all the benefits that come with it.

No, he's being utterly idiotic because he's an idiot. He comes for cuddles because it generates my affection, but he spends far more time being a ridiculous idiot all on his own.

I know very well, that mine does pretend to be stupid, then plays tricks at me, knowing, that I'll generously let him get away with that each time.

Sometimes, I'm not sure as to who is the true idiot in this house, me or him.

Hm, have you ever tried changing that setting? Maybe it's indeed its purpose.

The 'worst' thing I've ever done was to make him wet with a water gun when begging for my food while I was eating. Other than that, he has pretty much a carte blanche for basically anything.

This being said, it has gotten much better recently. Maybe he's just getting old (he's almost ten).
