Originally they picked the bed they wanted\u2014Lily on the left and Sophie on the right. Each morning after breakfast they\u2019d take a nap in their beds. Cute. One day Lily decided to try out Sophie\u2019s bed. I guess this upset Sophie and I\u2019ve never seen her in either bed since. Now she naps on my bed in the morning (she likes it unmade) and she enjoys her afternoon nap on a cozy kitty blanket on the loveseat.<\/p>\n<p>Lily still uses the cat beds in front of the <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1339\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/gorgebirdbath-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/gorgebirdbath-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/gorgebirdbath-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/gorgebirdbath.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>heater\u2014sometimes switching beds.
