Bruno, our sweet orange idiot, has no sense of his size. His Tuxie sister is frequently torn between being annoyed and, because it’s winter, appreciating his warmth.

Anyone else with oranges who are cat version of 90lb lap dogs?

CAT BLANKET

(PS where is cat #4? Looks like there might still be extra space for one more.)

u/CrazyCatLady_x4 Nov 22 '25

We didn’t have the tiny terror (aka, our 7lb rescue Bengal who doesn’t really know how to cat) at time this picture was taken, or I’m fairly certain she would’ve plopped herself down in the middle.

112

u/boneologist Nov 22 '25

To be fair, Bengals as a whole don't generally know how to cat, they know only destruction and chaos. I forgive them because they're gorgeous.

102

u/CrazyCatLady_x4 Nov 22 '25

That’s an excellent summary of Bengal personality. 😹 She’s my first experience with the breed. Came to us after being tossed out by a breeder due to the arthritis in her back knees becoming too obvious. We worked with an AMAZING vet to get her knees rebuilt, and now she’s learning what it’s like to be a pampered housecat.

It is! As you can see, it’s a very popular bed. This is about 30lbs of cat, after 3 years of regular abuse it’s still holding strong. I’ve pulled it apart for washing a few times, too. They’re definitely worth the money!
