Well, it's not just Ella who gets to sleep in bed. Shirley L. in Oregon, who adopted wobbly Mink from us last year, just sent us this photo of the Schminkers with her husband James. Shirley says Mink sleeps between them at night, and she got out of bed on a recent morning to take the photo. Her email said, "First, Ella ... now Mink."
We'd better stop posting these on the blog before our own animals wonder why they're not sleeping in our bed!

Yes, you better not let any of your crew see this. Before you know it one of the organizing types will have drawn up a rota for sleeping in the bed with you.

Oh Mink!!!
What are the thread counts of YOUR sheets? Do your humans make sure they warm up your blankets on cold days to tuck you in with? Do you get served breakfast in bed?
Are we just so blessed to have our humans? They love us. :)
Love, Ella
OXOXOXOXOXO

Aw...it's so wonderful to get a peek into Mink's life. It looks like she is pretty proud of herself too!

Four of our cats sleep on the bed with us. The fifth has cerebral hypoplasia and can't get on or off the bed so she sleeps in a kitty bed in the bedroom or goes under the bed. For some reason the four on the bed all lay on my pillow or on my side of the bed! A little hot in the summer but great in the winter. Great to see Mink by the way.

Mink brings incredible joy and humor to our household. We adore him and all our friends want to kidnap him!!!!

Alumni pictures are AWESOME! Precious Mink is one lucky kitty. Thank you for sharing Shirley & James (& for posting Steve). I love seeing what they are up to now, knowing what great lives they are leading.
