See me hell, 7 Jack Russells are too much for anyone!
I said only if interfering but I may as well have said always. Our cat is very affectionate and sleeps with me most nights, so if we’re in bed he considers that an invitation to join us.
My basset hound would just stare and pant. Wasn’t the mood killer that a ill-timed shout of “Mommy, I need you!” was, but it definitely brought a temporary halt to the proceedings.
One of the dogs and two cats are usually in the room with us. They don’t even notice I don’t think.
We had a puppy in the room but that didn’t last long. He has a nice house outside. There was just no way to do anything with him in the room.
I’m not worried about the cats ‘watching’ us, or staring or anything. But our new kitty, Harley, always thinks that any time I get in bed (or sit in the bathroom, or sit in the living room, or sit at my desk. . .) is time for petting and skritches. She is too young to realize that sometimes, I need, uh, skritches of my own.
So the cats get tossed out, and the door gets closed firmly.
We’re not worried so much about the other pets, since they all live in cages. . .
My dog normally just sleeps and ignores whatever is happening on the bed. Occasionally he wants to crawl up and sleep on the bed while I’m getting busy but it’s easy to chase him off. The last time I had a girl over he decided to sniff and lick her breasts and for some reason wouldn’t stop. I had to throw him out of the room then.
Once the dog decides he’s down for the night, a bomb won’t make him stir, much less grunting and moaning.
My cat insists on being in the same room as me - she complains, loudly, when she can’t find me. But she’s more flexible on giving up the bed. So there’s no reason to kick her out, and every reason to leave the bedroom door open.
Never. Our cats are immobile lumps, and sometimes I’ve rolled over only to discover my cat is rightthere next to me, bored but content. It’s more distracting and interrupting to move them (see “immobile lumps”) than to just let them be.
My dog usually just takes a nap, but the last time, she put her icy cold nose on my nutsack.
"It’s time for Sex – Do you put your pets in another room?"
Am I the only one who thought the question was do you have a special room for sex with your pets?
I am reminded of a true news story I read long ago. A man was taking a shower when his cat suddenly batted at Mr. Happy swinging away. This frightened him so much he fell and broke a leg. Relating what happened to the stretcher-bearers called to haul him to the hospital, they laughed so hard they dropped the stretcher, and he broke the other leg. That sounds like an Urban Legend, but I swear I read it in the paper.
I’m sorry, what were we talking about? I lost track after “It’s time for sex…”
I didn’t worry with my two older cats… but the kitten wants to pounce us, so I evict them all.
There’s enough room on a king-size mattress for 2 humans and 2 cats.
When we tell our dogs to get off the bed, they get off. Our younger dog sometimes wanders away, but our late dog did not like being alone, and things went much better with him sitting in his bed than with him scratching at the door.
If by “pets” you mean “children”, then yes.
The dog won’t even get off the bed, never mind putting up with being banished from the room. She just finds a far corner and settles in for the friggin’ show. Luckily, she’s small and mostly inconspicuous.
There is not quite enough room on a king size bed for two boxers and two humans even when we are just sleeping. The dogs usually get around this by sleeping half on top of me but during sex they’re kicked off of the bed which usually means they leave the room. They sneak back when things quiet down and try and take over as much space as possible.
It hurts to laugh this hard, silently. Ouch.
I said “sometimes”. There is a great deal of spontenaity involved, so we can’t always have things set up just right. But ideally, if I get a wet lick on the butt I’d rather it not be from a dog. Ideally.
