Bedmate

[1]

In the years that I lived with (cat) Lily, I used to shamelessly chase after her at bedtime and insist she sleep with me.  The groveling was worth it because Lily was an excellent cuddler. On the other hand, there’s (dog) Rose, who will be 14 in a couple of weeks and has always insisted on sleeping on her own side of the bed.
