Yeah, that's the fun thing about cats. They try to make a game out of
making the bed! Fine, I'll just put the sheet on top of you. Then
comes the hand-game of smoothing out the sheet. You pretend you don't
know the cat is under the sheet. Play time!

When Buffy came to live with me I washed the bedsheets and the blanket.
I had the bedspread folded down on the floor. She looked at it like
hey, that doesn't belong down here. She curled up on it anyway.
After I made the bed and it came to put the bedspread back on she was a
tad indignant. But then she discovered she could climb up from under
the bedspread and leap out at me like a jack-in-the-box! I couldn't
help but laugh. She liked that little trick so well she got down and
did it again.
