Why do I bother?

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...

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.

I have a smaller-than-usual washer thanks to the desire to have a countertop over it for folding and other uses, so not much fits in there. I do sometimes beg the use of the one next door--with my brother's family of 5, they've got a big washer.

Fred does indeed feel that the sheet is a cat toy, especially if I leave an edge rucked up to be attacked. If I carefully spread it out and have the edges over the edge of the bed, she usually leaves it alone. Usually. :)
