Sewellie...
Do your kitties tend to lay in particular areas of your bed? (for example, my late kitty napped in one corner at the foot, or by my pillow) If so, you can make a smaller quilt for them (think 30" x 30" give or take) and put it in their spot, on top of any quilt you have on the whole bed. Then, when it gets hairy from the cats, just wash the smaller cat quilt. Saves you washing your big quilt as often.
At least this worked for me...
