No cat on the bed when Mr. Married21 and I are in it. He snuck in one night, but was ousted.
Napping in the big easy chair with the cat on my lap, OTOH, is absolutely the best.
BTW, a little off topic but... we are inheriting another cat this weekend. Not sure how to integrate the new one into the life of the household, as I’ve never had two before. Any advice from wise FReepers would be welcome. Our cat is about 10, male, declawed (was that way when we rescued it), and the new one is 5, female, with claws.
I don't think it will be too much trouble, one of them (probably the female) will establish his/her self as alpha kitty, and that will be that. Other freepers may offer different advice.
I brought in a kitten to add to my older, more established alpha kitty. I kept the kitten in the bedroom, separated from alpha kitty for about a week or so (it could take longer). This allows them to get used to each other’s scent. In a few days they would play with each other’s paws under the door, which I think helped some. When I opened the door to bring them together, there was a little hissing, but not a total hiss fest, no fighting. They got along okay after that.
Since I work with a rescue group, new cats are sometimes brought in. I will usually give them their own food, litter, and space for 2 days. That gives them time to acclimate to strange surroundings. There is usually a little posturing and fuss at first, but I have not had any serious problems. They all find their place.
