Naughty Nik

It has been a very busy week. Frost went to The Midlands Cat Show last Sunday and we had another red card day. Beautiful Frost won first in her open class and best of Breed along with another first in her side class and two seconds...Yeah. Most importantly though we both enjoyed the day. Frost was wonderful and remained relaxed and calm throughout the day.
There is a cat at home though who is not too relaxed. The two new cats, Nik and Miya who have been adopted back into the home have been here for two weeks now. Things are ok with their transition back into the fold but there are still a few teething problems. Nik has been accepted by all but one cat, Ana. Button-Thomas, the grumpy Siamese neutered male loves Niks company but Ana the matriarch is not that easily convinced. Every now and then she will confront Nik and chase round the house, chastising him for not looking away when she walks in the room. Nik has shown his unhappiness at Ana ruling the roost by peeing on my duvet! This has happened twice now so I thought I would take preventative measures and buy PVC mattress protectors to put over the bed.
In the bedding shop it struck me that it would be a good idea if I bought waterproof mattress protectors for all the beds than I could cover the children's beds with them and keep them fresh. I don't mind the cats sleeping on the beds during the day, in fact I think it's quite homely, I thought the PVC idea would keep the beds fresh ready for the human occupants at night.
I went to the shop counter with four waterproof mattress protectors, a double and three singles. The lady put on what can only be described as her counseling face and she quickly and discreetly put the covers in a bag. She must of thought I had a rogue enuresis gene and that I belonged to a family of nocturnal bed wetter's!
I am sure things with Nik will settle down soon, it is still very early days
