1792.0. "I couldn't stop laughing!" by CSSE::MORRELL () Mon Sep 26 1988 14:04

    I think everyone could use a good laugh.
    
    I have to set the scenario first, I have a custom made waterbed
    The bed is 11 feet by 10 feet.  I use silk pillowcases on my waterbed
    pillows.  T.C. my female, loves to sleep on the silk.  Saturday, the
    silk sheets I ordered came in.
    
    I put the sheets on my bed last night, well anyways let's say it
    was very tough to make the bed because the cats wanted to play.
    
    Last night around 2:00 am, this loud hissing woke me up.
    I didn't turn on the light because I could see everything ok, anyways
    T.C. was running about 2 feet on the bed and skidding on the other
    9 feet and crashing into my male Trigger.  She did this about 10
    times while I was awake and watching her, then all of sudden she
    missed Trigger and went right off the bed.  Of course, the sheet
    went down with her, then all of sudden Charlie fell off the bed
    because he had the sheet wrapped around him.  
    
    T.C. jumped onto the bed and pretended she was asleep on my pillows
    and Charlie couldn't figure out what happened, and I was laughing
    to hard to tell him.

    I've got no experience with waterbeds so I've just got to ask.
    
    What happens if the little dears start kneading the bed with their
    claws?  Do you spring a leak?
    
    Just curious :-)

    Sometimes, from laughing.
    
    Seriously, aja has never caused a problem with the water bed and
    it's her favorite place to sleep. The mattress is made of pretty
    tough vinyl.

    Thanks - now I know I can safely get one - I'll take Tarot along
    to the showroom to test it.  If his claws can't get through it then
    no cat's going to be able to bust it.

1792.5waterbeds pretty toughSTAR::BARTHMon Oct 03 1988 13:0411
    re: waterbeds
    
    Not only is the vinyl really tough, but we bought a mattress liner
    which is pretty thick.  It's almost a necessity anyway, unless you
    want to sleep on sheet covered vinyl - it doesn't breath, trust
    me.  Between the thick vinyl and a decent mattress pad, not to mention
    the usual quilts and sheets -- our waterbed has been safe from two
    cats and two large dogs.  I wouldn't hesitate to get one if you
    like them.

1792.6No problems at allCSSE::MORRELLMon Oct 03 1988 15:2711
    I haven't had any problems with their lovely claws either.  I also
    have the mattress liner, and I think this is what has saved us from
    springing any leaks.
    
    Whatever you do, just don't let any people sit on your bed with
    a screwdriver in their pockets.
    
    That's they way to spring a leak.

1792.7Watch out for diggers...HPSCAD::KNEWTONThis Space For RentMon Oct 03 1988 17:408
    Snuggles managed to get a claw through.  He likes to dig and managed
    to get his paw in between the headboard and the mattress.  Luckily
    it was only one little hole.  It did still leak quite abit considering
    the size the hole.  Since the hole was on the side of the mattress
    all of the water ended up between the mattress and liner.  It may
    have been leaking for a while before we noticed it.

1792.8Anchors Away...MARKER::REEDTue Oct 04 1988 19:4523
    We recently got a waterbed and haven't had any troubles...yet. 
    Brandy did decide he would _help_ me make the bed by climbing on
    while the bed was being filled, then when I wsa trying to put each
    sheet on. (Makes for a very lumpy bed).  Then he had to try out
    each cubby hole (it's a bookcase headboard).
    
    Brandy has decided he _owns_ the top of the headboard.  However,
    he is a 15 lb. heifer and when he launches himself from the bed
    to the top of the headboard and you're lying on the bed, it feels
    like you'll get this nasty case of whiplash. Boing, BOING...
    
    Our mattress is a waveless type but when you get two cats AND a
    very frisky puppy on it, it's a TIDAL WAVE.  Both cats seem to like
    the bed more, now that the weather has cooled down. It was funny
    to see the puppy trying to get on the bed when we first got him.
    All he could do was put his front paws on the frame and _walk_ around
    the edge (no leverage). Now he takes a flying leap, pounce, bounce,
    frisk, _Get off my face!_, I think you get the picture.
    
    If you like waterbeds, go ahead and get one.  I think it will please
    the whole crowd.
