I love my electric blanket, some memory foam, and our cat. They blend together lately in a nightly harmony that makes my sleep interesting. I set the blanket at 8 around eight so it’s nice and cozy when I arrive in bed at 10, and lately I find Piper laying on my spot.
I gently nudge her so I can get into bed and then she gets up and circles around my body, arriving back where she was, and nestles into my body. I don’t even get a chance to reach over and turn the blanket down so I just snuggle into her and go to sleep.
There is something about a warm body laying on top of an electric blanket that makes the underside hot! When I roll over so my stomach is against her back, it’s like a hot iron up against me. It’s the same on my back when I roll over the other way.
We spend the night with me tossing and turning trying to balance this hot burning heat source as she rolls into me with every turn until I finally manage to reach over her and crank the heat down to 3. Have I mentioned I love my cat?
Here’s the dance floor:
Here she is tonight, busted:
This look is: Are you going to turn the light off and come to bed? Yes…
