We have 2 small dogs but they don't have access to the bed. However.........My husband has a long haired siamese that he started sleeping with him as a kitten. She is now 13 or 14 yrs old and so we sleep under a "fur" blanket no matter what else is on the bed. I bought a really nicely made quilt top that is like 126" sq at an estate sale, had it quilted and put it on the bed. Much to my dismay, it got so full of cat hair that it is impossible to clean off or even launder so it is back to something light that can be stuffed in the washer regularly. She is his cat and sleeps on his arm or draped over his pillow....untill I get to bed. Then she sleeps above my pillow or under the covers at my back. I have told him no more cats in our bedroom so I will have to wait till she is gone to kittie heaven before I put another quilt on our bed.
