    Bubba's new large bed arrived, and guess what...

    You know, I'm beginning to not like Ella as much as I used to. I think she is passive aggressive. :)
    Can you make dear Bubba a safe place that she can't get to so he can have some peace and quiet?

    She wants to be the alpha cat, and that's a lot of pressure when you're half the size of the other cat and several years older.

    He wants to be with Ella. He adores her but he goes about it in the way that an elementary school boy might, the equivalent of pulling her hair and throwing things at her.

    I know this isn't about your beloved cats but it's about Ella & Bubba

    It's been about five or six days now, I have not yet seen Bubba in his new bed, although Ella uses it regularly.

    One month after Bubba's new bed arrived, I found him lying in it for the first time, and that is probably only because Ella is in the library. The only cat bed in the house that he can fit into, and Ella (who isn't much more than half his size) usually takes it.

    How about if you buy another one exactly like that one and place them side by side. Ella can't lie in both of them. Bubba will be so happy to be next to her!:)

    I've never had a cat with as good of a disposition as Bubba. Nothing seems to upset him, and God knows that Ella tries. She can leave him bleeding from the nose and it's all good as far as he's concerned. Bubba is always in a good mood, although he doesn't always go out of his way to keep Ella in a good mood. He enjoys annoying her but I think he just wants her to play, and he probably thinks she's playing when she's not.

    I might do that. They won't fit side-by-side in any place that I can think of, but there are two windows along that wall. You're right, though; Bubba would love to be in a bed next to Ella, although I'm not sure Ella would be thrilled.

    This is not a good arrangement for online productivity.

    Please note that he has a perfectly good cat bed to the right of my keyboard but, since Ella claims that one, Bubba doesn't dare. It doesn't matter that Ella is in the library.

    Bubba looks like a hefty guy.

    That he is. He's a big boy.

    Bubba likes outdoor shows.
