Thread: Jones does not understand blankets!

This all sounds familiar. Ours - Indy - used to sped a good hour at bedtime stalking bits of us under that were under the duvet. Now as almost a year he will quite often fall asleep on top of the duvet between us at bedtime.

However, often as not around 3.30am the hunting will kick off - full body pounces from the end of the bed onto us, a quick nip of an exposed leg (I have found that he finds gnawing my elbows a big turn off), and generally far too playful. The solution to this that works for us is for me to grab him, haul him up to our endof the bed and try to snuggle him down next to me. That sends him rocketing towards the door, no doubt disgusted by affection at hunting time.

He has a small soft toy - a purple monkey - which he routinely slaughters. I have noticed that on these occasions it is not unusualy for purple monkey to be left in the middle of the bed. I think he is simply in hunting mode, and having brought us his prey, wants to play a bit. It's just a shame about the timing.
