Photo is from about a year ago, when the cats learnt that as well as "on the bed" and "under the duvet", if you explored the area where the buttons were, there was also "inside the duvet cover".

Hoping that they don't learn about "inside the box spring." That's where the real 3am magic (aka cat fights) happen.

Haha, I don't think they can get inside the bed base, thankfully - but I'm very familiar with the 3am play-combat. There's normally one or two sleeping on our bed at night, and there's sometimes a competition for position. The one pictured is quite skilled at "Assassin's Creed" style aerial takedowns off the top of the wardrobe, onto his poor unsuspecting siblings sleeping near our feet.

Oh man, that reminds me of when I was a kid, one of our cats had babies and decided to drag them all under my mom's bed. They ended up tearing a hole in the box spring, and there'd occasionally be an entire litter of kittens running and pouncing around in there at all hours. Drove my mom crazy.

Haha, I have a blanket burrower too. Bedtime = "you're letting me explore the blanket cave now, right?"

Gotta hide from the monsters by making sure you're under or inside the duvet! It's perfectly rational.
