While back, I moved one of Goro & Niko's
carriers to near the window.
Since then, it has become Niko's favorite place to hang out.
So I put a blanket for him.
Then he began to hang out there even more often.
I was happy as Niko was happy :-)
But I didn't know something terrible
was about to happen...
Niko, I'm sleepy. Let's go to bed.
What...SAY WHAT?
That's right! Niko didn't come to
bed with me as he usually did!
And night after night, he slept there.
My bed was cold like winter without him.
My bed was cold like winter without him.
I had to do something.
Plan A: Take away the blanket. (When he is not
watching, so that he won't hate me for doing that.)
watching, so that he won't hate me for doing that.)
No, can't do. That would make Niko sad.
Plan B: Sneak Goro's favorite toy on blanket.
Lead Niko to believe it's Goro's bed now.
Sorry, Goro. This plan is too evil.
Fortunately, after winter comes spring.
About 2 weeks later,
About 2 weeks later,
Niko decided to come back to bed in the night.
My bed is warm again :-)
Having Niko in life is like having spring in heart all year long.
On February 28, we will celebrate his 3rd Gotcha Day.

Happy Gotcha Day, Niko! We love you! And we are glad you decided to go back to sleeping on the bed with Mom and Dad! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Gotcha Day Niko !!!!

Me and Mom are glad you like the card !
((( Happy Hugs )))
xox
Niko, I bet you will have a very awesome gotcha day! I can tell your human must have big plans for you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Gotcha Day Niko. I pull that not going to sleep in your bed routine every now and then with M. Then all of a sudden I hop back in there again. She says she misses me too. One night she put me in bed with her and I promptly left again and went back to where I wanted to bed. Dang humans!
ReplyDeleteHappy Gotcha Day, Niko! You are so loved by your mom...what a great home you have! oxoxox
ReplyDeleteNiko, Happy Gotcha Day! What an utterly sweet post. We think your Mom AND you are purrfect for each other.
ReplyDeleteOur Mommy sometimes has to get up and look for us if we don't show up at night--it's a great way to keep her in line.
Dearest Tamago,
ReplyDeleteHappy 3rd anniversary for cute Niko! Both are so loveable and I love Goro's nose; so pretty!
Oh, they LOVE their cozy spots and will not easily give them up.
Hugs to all of you.
Hope we will not get as much rain tomorrow as yesterday... Disaster; again our basement got flooded. We ran 2 wet vacs all night and didn't sleep much as we need to empty them every hour. Spooky was so scared too. They must sense a certain danger of water... Bad luck, I drove to Emory in the dark and in heavy rain on Friday. Awful but I got there in time and safe. Pieter drove us back home and almost no rain.
Hope the renovation of our office and guest bedroom closet will finalize tomorrow or else on Tuesday... always takes up more time as promised.

Happy (early) Gotcha Day, Niko! We're glad you decided to go back to Mommy's bed before she did something really terrible. ;)
ReplyDeleteYour cats are so pretty. We have three, and yes, one is overweight. How on earth did you get your cat in mid-air? That is an impressive shot! Mine are Sunny&Cher and Simba. I come from Ann's blog, where her guest poster mentions you.
ReplyDeleteWow! Imagine not sleeping with you?! Happy Gotcha Day, Niko!

ReplyDeleteHappy happy gotcha day! What a wonderful day for you and your mom you are so lucky to have such a wonderful family

Happy almost Gotcha Day! We like the idea of celebrating all week...with extra treats every day, of course.
ReplyDeleteOur human likes it when Derry cuddles up with her at night, and misses him when he doesn't...but she also sleeps better when he doesn't wake her for cuddles at 2AM. LOL.
Sometimes for a few nights in a row, Banjo decides to sleep somewhere else too. But he always eventually comes back to hog my bed! LOL! Maybe kitties just like a little vacation once in-awhile too. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a happy week kitties!

#1 always tells us that on the nights one or other (or both) doesn't come to bed with her, she feels really lonesome! Of course, Tommy is always faithful at the foot of her bed!
ReplyDeletePurrs,
Bibi and Genji
Niko san, you are the darling of mine and mommy's hearts. We love BOTH of you but there is something extra special about you and your sweetness.

ReplyDeleteI have to say,
ReplyDeleteit's really normal what you did!! If I were you, I will do many little plan to let my cat stay with me on the bed again!! Hahaha~~
I love this post!!! So fit my heart!!!! Niko, your mommy really loves and adores you~!!
Whew! I'm so glad for the happy ending. That blue blankie could never replace MOM! (Well, it could for ME of course, but I am not a sweet boy like Niko. I am a Bad Cat.)
ReplyDeleteOh my dear boy Niko, Happy, Happy Gotcha Day! We love you buddy! That spot does look very comfy-cosy so it must be tempting to sleep there but I'm glad you're back to sleeping with your Mom again as it makes her very happy (I sleep with my Human too). Hope you have an awesome day on the 28th and get spoiled with lots of chicken! We enjoyed your cute and funny post so much! Have a great week kitties! PS: Gorgeous graphic from Puddy's Mom!

Nice week,
Sylvia
After Catherine's interview, I finally got around to coming over to check out your blog. Everything she said about it was true :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
Happy Gotcha day to Niko too
Congratulations on winning this pretty graphic! Niko is very beautiful and he somehow looks like he would be very sweet and never naughty! I am glad you never got around to hatching your nefarious plan!
ReplyDeleteHappy Gotcha Day!
ReplyDeletewhat a handsome boy Niko is...my kitties would adore him :).
ReplyDeleteHappy Gotcha Day!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Niko, we are so glad you went back to sleeping with the Mom. Our Mom misses us when when we don't come to bed. Happy Gotcha day a day early. Make that Mom give you extra treats tomorrow. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHappy Gotcha Day Niko! I used to sleep on my carrier when there was a towel on it too.
ReplyDeleteOur Mum hates it when we don't go to bed with her so she puts our blankies on there for us to snuggle on.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
We came back for an extra smoochie for your Gotcha day.
ReplyDeleteHappy GOTCHA Day Niko! You're a Good Boy and you make your Mommy happy ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe hope you had a nice Gotcha Day sweet Niko and got extra treats. Your mom must be so happy that you have gone back to sleeping with her. You are such a sweetie. Hugs and nose kisses
ReplyDeleteHappy Gotcha day- I'm a little late. But I always smile when I visit Niko and Goro, so I'm happy every day that you two sweet boys were gotched.
ReplyDeleteI sympathize with your Mom's plots to coax Niko back to bed. The best thing about our cold Winters in the Northeast is that every night is a three cat night.
xxoo
