Why do I bother?

[nlbarber]

I spread an old sheet over the dry-clean-only comforter to try to limit the amount of cat hair that gets on it, and thus extend the cleaning cycle. (Yes, it was a mistake--I need to find a light duvet and washable covers, because a washable comforter is too big for my washing machine anyway. I do like the colors on this one, though...)

Fred occasionally decides that she *must* sleep directly on the comforter. When she does, a mere sheet is no obstacle...

Duvet covers are your friend -- they keep the fur off of the comforter itself, without significantly adding to the warmth-factor of the comforter. Many can be acquired for reasonable sums of money @ Ikea, in a wide variety of sizes.

Also, then, when the cat gets under the comforter cover, you can video the resulting amusement of them trying to get -out.-

You bother because you know it's your responsibility to ensure your cats' entertainment! :) Sorry, no good ideas how to fix things; my comforter is small enough or the washing machine big enough to be easily washed.

Your Fred must be a long-lost relative of my Zoe!

Because Fred is a cat. And you love her.

There is absolutely nothing to be done about the situation. See my icon for proof.
