Everyone who has pets knows full well that beds aren't just for humans. Especially if there is a nice heat source nearby, which there is in this case.
Huxley the piebald dachshund shares the bed with his most recently arrived house companion, yet another cat, Fancy Pants. She just hops up and makes herself at home; he uses his ramp (out of photo on side of bed) to come and go. Fancy has become our replacement cat for Muchka who, after 18 years with us, passed recently.
Fancy was an abandoned cat who was coming to our feeding station halfway down the driveway. How anyone could abandon such a beautiful and sweet cat, I have no earthly idea. We took her in and she now has a home for the winter, and beyond. I love picking her up and snuggling with her; she purrs and readily returns the feeling. It didn't take her long to learn to use the two cat doors, so she comes and goes now at will with no problems.
You remember what Garrison Keillor said about cats? "Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a function."
