Day Two of the Pusheen Bed Situation

Yesterday I introduced you to V2 and the Pusheen cat bed she was wearing as a hat. I want to give you an update, because things have developed.

The small cats — the ones for whom this bed was purchased — remain bedless. This is not the update.

The update is that V2 has a sister. We shall call her V1, because original bednapper, in the grand tradition of naming things in this house, is V2. V1 has discovered the Pusheen bed.

And here is where it gets interesting.

V1 can almost fit in it. Almost. Her head is approaching the exit at some speed, but she is in there. Technically, legally, she is using it as a bed rather than wearing it as millinery, and she would like that noted for the record.

She was very comfortable. She was very smug about it.

And then it was dinner time, because in this house dinner time is law, and V1 departed.

V2 , yesterday’s hat-wearer, the original claimant — assessed the situation. Looked at the bed. Looked at where her sister had been. Looked at the bed again.

She is now lying directly in front of it.

Not in it. In front of it. Pressed against the entrance like a very large, very dramatic bouncer. The message is clear and it is this: if I cannot sleep in there, no one can.

The small cats are watching all of this unfold from a safe distance.

They remain bedless.

It’s fine. Everything is absolutely fine. 🖤

Suzy writes from a quiet corner of rural Tasmania, in a 120-year-old station house that has seen more stories than most people ever will. Surrounded by books, cats, and an ever-growing list of ideas, she spends her time building fictional worlds filled with complicated people, found family, and relationships that don’t always fit neatly into a box. She writes under multiple pen names, exploring everything from hockey romance to military stories, magical realism, and fantasy—each one connected by the same emotional thread: people trying to find where they belong. Her personal blog, Life at the Station House, is where she steps out from behind the pen names. Here, she writes about the quieter side of life—rural living, creativity, community, and the moments in between writing sessions that matter just as much as the stories themselves. When she’s not writing, she’s likely tending to her garden, thinking about her next project, or sitting with a coffee while her mind runs a little too fast and a little too unfiltered.
