Oscar is generally not allowed on furniture in our house. He is invited to go up on the couch in the basement whenever he pleases (usually when we're watching a movie) but all the other chairs and couches are off limits and he respects these guidelines. Frankly I'm surprised he understands the various rules we've laid out for him but he is a tenured professor after all.The situation with our bed is a tad more complicated but we've managed to work out an arrangement that suits all of our needs. Everyone goes sleep in our respective sleeping spots: the humans in the big bed and the Professor in his little round pet bed. However, McLovin likes to get up with the sun which is often too early for us humans to rouse ourselves. To alleviate his need for attention at this ungodly hour he crawls up into the human bed where he rests peacefully until there's more action in the bed around him. Sometimes he decides he needs to sleep directly between the two of us in which case we're forced to get up earlier than we had planned.
On those occasions when one human gets out of bed while the other slumbers on Oscar immediately gravitates toward the space recently vacated. Maybe he does this to change things up, maybe he just wants to snuggle, but I think the real reason is the subject of today's lesson. It sure is a nice cozy way to ease into the day.
