Hi Jim @thankful, We have a queen size bed and my wife likes to cuddle with the kitty too but the kitty not so much ☺ She's always on top of the blanket though so I can flip her off the bed in a heart beat if I hear any hairball noise. Fortunate that it doesn't happen very often. Mine is almost like a small dog. Even taught her how to play fetch but she won't play very long. I do have 3 extra quilts that get changed/washed quite often so that's a downside for me. I did have to put her in kitty jail when I came back from the knee replacement surgery so that she wasn't on our bed for a few weeks to prevent infections, etc..

You are correct about the $$ spent. I'm patiently waiting for a kitty passing because smart as I am, I know I won't get another one and my daughter is grown and out of the house so will not be bringing any new ones for dad to take care of when she no longer can keep it.
