Thread: Two fixed males still fighting, MC starts it!

I should try the water bottle. Rose is a scratcher and we just tossed yet another ruined chair.
The battles start because both Merlin and Sampson want to sleep on our bed. Merlin spends nearly the entire day on it, much to the disappointment of the other cats. Merlin stalks him on the stairs and chases him away. He also chases him out of the basement, where we have a family room with a big sofa. Mandy seems to have neutralized that area and has taken over Sampson's basement "man cave". He now retreats to our 5 year old daughter's bed most nights, but I feel badly because he still wants to be with us. He perched all 24lbs of himself on my tiny vanity bench last night and didnt get up until morning, but Merlin never got off the bed :-(
With the extreme cold bearing down on us, Merlin has now taken to burrowing under the sheets next to me or DH. This seems cute and sweet but he pins us to one spot and its impossible to move! I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right wrist and if I can't keep my arm straight I wake up in horrendous pain. It seems so mean to kick Merlin out of the bed but I guess it's becoming more of a problem than its worth.
Guess ill go fill up a water bottle now... :-(
