Ahhhh, just what the Dr ordered, a nice cool, freshly laundered wool duvet, rich pink in colour, and smelling sweetly of the natural odour of.... hmmm, not sure quite what this smells of. Could be mountain breeze? Nope, no mountains round this way and the last one I saw in peep's glossy magazine had spitting llamas, and snow, and all manner of nasties, and there's no way any Llamas, snow, or snow covered Llamas are sharing this bed! Mouses.
Right, the first thing I do with any new duvet, wool or otherwise, is have a roll. Nothing like a roll on fresh linen, to put me in the mood for a sleep. Also, in this palace, as I'm the official tester of wool duvets, their thermal efficiency must be tested rigorously, and completely across their length and breadth, and any lumpy bits flattened out, or hollows filled.
Not an easy task I know, given the Palaces 9 bed chambers, but one I do take seriously, well at least once a day. purrs
Anyways, when I am not blogging or chasing mouses from the door, those that are trying to escape that is, I can be found checking each and every one. I do also carry out spot checks, my favourite spot being where there is a sun puddle. purrs
As to rolling, well some peeps do think that this is merely a way to shed hair! Can you believe it? Well I kid you not, I have been accused of that very crime. Mouses!
It takes a skilled practitioner to master the art of duvet rolling. The ability to size up the exact spot in need of flattening, or in need of teasing open with the claws to allow more air to circulate.
This has been confused with some sort of ritualistic dance, or even napping! I have to say that it is skill that no peep has yet mastered, though many profess to having made sleeping being an art.

No, to discern not only the lumps and dips and then to be able to even these out across a whole surface is a skill us felines have to master from an early age. As proof of such skills, as certification of a job well done, I do leave a signature quantity of my hair. but even then, to get the balance between my white floofy bits and the richer dark black takes a deal of athleticism beyond most peeps, well mine at least. purrs
OK so there are times when things have gone wrong, I have to admit, but that was all down to peep spending some extra time in bed. How was I to know theat the lump I was jumping up and down on was peep's tummy? I mean I did hear some air escaping. Mouses!
Anyways, all said and done, I do think a duvet has to be tested, rolled, plumped and teased and all the smells released, so that once more a harmony, and essence of feline, can be achieved.
Is that the time? so much to do, another 8 duvets in fact, and so little sleep. Mouses!
Now before I go, I will just say, I am writing a paper on how to get your peep to move in bed, so if you have any new ideas, or tried and tested methods, like the old claw in the nasal cavity, please do not hesitate to send me an ERmail at the Palace.

Until next time, may all your wool duvets smell sweetly, and be llama, mouse, and lump free. purrs ERin
