The Newest Bedspread

I have bought yet another bedspread. This is to replace the one initially punctured and cut by numerous cat claws, and eventually torn into strips by time and the antics of kittens. The kittens are gone, and the cats who formerly used the bedspread as toe-holds when they leaped onto the mattress are too old for such actions now.

I briefly had another before this, but found it unsatisfactory. Despite being labeled for a bed my size, it was not the right fit (it was square, for one thing), and was a quilted object, which took away its softness. This new one is the same material as the previously destroyed spread; it is soft, comfortable and easily folded.

As one can see, the three cats who habituate the bedroom seem to approve of it (though Imogen noticed that the comforter cover had been washed for the first day of the new bedspread, and so was enjoying that position once again.) I hope this new item lasts longer than its predecessor, but there’s no telling when an errant claw will have its way.
