Like a few others, my bed sits on the floor. Well, my mattress sits on a box spring, and the box spring is on the floor. I took the frame away in April when I traded in my bookcase headboard for a pair of 3-shelf ladder bookcases, and I really like it like this. In fact, whenever I’m finally able to afford a new bed I think I might just get one of those extra-high box springs and keep the whole shebang on the floor. I still have the frame in the basement: I was hanging on to it in case I changed my mind, and I might just keep it for a while longer. How hard is it to find just a frame?
When my bed was on a frame I used to vacuum under it regularly. Sometimes just to piss off the cat.
Feh. I used to work with a woman who cleaned under her refrigerator WEEKLY! And she made the bed before she peed every morning. I’d be afraid of a house like that. I have no idea what makes some folks tick.
That’s because you’ve probably never had the fun of watching what a vacumn cleaner does to a cat’s attitude.
Cat - sleeping peacefully on or under the unmade bed. Dreaming contented cat dreams of mice, and bottomless bowls of kibble.
Vacumn starts. Cat goes from Zero to 120 in milliseconds. Wide awake, back arched, tail in full puffed up mode. Eyes solid black. First backing away, then in full run, in that “close to the ground” scamper they do, until they round the corner and exit the room by a path that takes them as far from the vacumn as possible.
The funny part is that they go hide in another room, and THAT room is inevitably the very next room to be vacumned.
the more I think about (and the more I read here), my next bed a platform bed, or one with built in drawers, so nothing but what is intended gets under it
