Short post since it’s late. Long story short I’ve been playing lots of WoW and Kerbal Space Program and not posting on my blog.
After Dash started sleeping in the heated bed I got for Talore I figured I needed to either get another bed of the same size for Talore or a bigger one for Dash or both of them. When I got to looking I discovered that the line of beds I’d gotten the first one from had apparently been discontinued in favor of a more colorful line that’s about the same thing. I ended up getting the larger size, but getting the one with higher walls. I’d say it worked out well enough:
I’m not sure why Talore puts her paws on the edge when Dash is in the bed too. In the last picture I took of them both in it (not posting since it didn’t turn out well) she had both front paws and her chin on the edge and that’s how she was sleeping.
Both cats fit in it comfortably at the same time (unless Dash disturbs Talore when he’s getting in: then either he gets chased off or Talore leaves). Alternately, either cat can sleep in it alone and the padding on the bottom fluffs up around them enough for them to be comfortable and warm. With the large bed on my desk Talore usually sleeps in the other bed and Dash sleeps in the large one.
