Originally posted by Digitalis I think putting one of my worn undershirts in it encouraged them. If it smells like me, it must be a safe place.
Yes, that often works. If there's a worn shirt somewhere on the bed, one of ours will go straight to it to lie down.
Recently one of them suffered an eye ulcer (she's fine now) and during the time she wasn't feeling well, she spent a lot of time snoozing on one of the bedpillows. As this interefered with R's sleep routine, we gave her a pillow of her own, covered with a towel, at the foot of the bed. She commandeered it almost instantly, and sleeps there for hours and hours, day and night. We've inadvertently created a monster!
