One of my lovely friends sent me a weighted blanket as a recovery present. (The one and only good thing about recovering from surgery is that people send you some really good stuff.)

If you’ve never heard of one of these before, it’s exactly as it sounds: a blanket that’s heavier than it looks, due to lots of little weights – in this case, glass beads – that have been sewn into it. It’s supposed to aid recovery and good sleep, although if you live with a cat who has a penchant for 3am parkour – a couple of nights ago, he knocked the red lamp off the bedside table in the middle of the night – then that probably negates all the benefits. 

The blanket was for ME. Yet we all knew that this would happen, didn’t we? 

Just make yourself comf- … oh right.

Yes, Louis Catorze absolutely loves it, merci for asking.

He already has multiple sleeping spots. But you already know this, don’t you? And so does he. 

Attacking someone through the weighted blanket is also great fun.

      Despite being a thick blanket, this hurt!

    Oh my god, I don’t know why, but the naughtier a cat is, the more I love them!

      On that basis Catorze would be one of the most loved cats in the world!

    Obviously, the weighted blanket makes a noise Louis loves. Poor you if he starts making it at 3am 😺. By the way, I do hope you are doing better.

      Merci! I’ve been up and down in my progress, mostly down. 🤣🤣🤣 It’s just extremely slow. Taking all those antibiotics has destroyed what was left of my feeble immune system, so I’ve not been feeling great lately.

    For some reason cats do like attacking pinned down pink tin-openers.

    Sometimes one (or more) of the cats will climb up on me when I am already asleep. I wake later to find myself under a weighted blanket that is purring. Don’t know if an actual weighted blanket without a heated human nearby would appeal to them.

      I love the idea of a purring weighted blanket! Not so much a screaming one though.

    Does he not know he is supposed to be under a weighted blanket? 🙂
