My cat is allowed on the chairs, sofas and beds. However, he is NOT allowed on any tables or countertops. I often come home and find paw prints on my kitchen counters though. He does what he likes when no one is home.
>>>One good reason for making the bed is if you have pets (specifically cats, since they love to lay on anything). I'd hate to get under the covers with a ton of cat fur. We don't have pets anymore, but Gary has been in the habit of making the bed (or at least covering it up with the quilt/comforter, whatever you want to call it) for so many years of pet-ownership, that it's just habit with him. I tend to leave it unmade most of the time (and no, it doesn't drive him crazy ... he'll make it if I don't ... and without complaining!!! <g>).

>>One thing that amazes me with Americans is this letting the cats and dogs into bed and/or to the dining table.

>OK, as a Russian :) I let our cat to sleep on a bed, but not on a dining table. However, he sleeps on my desk beside the computer. :)
>Does it clear anything? :)
