Cats on beds

[laura_seabrook]

Recently I seem to wake up with migraines and headaches.

I had thought that this might have been a seasonal thing until I heard a comment by my mother on a phone conversation last weekend. She said that it was not a good thing to have cats lying on the bed at night, and especially lying on the pillows. This sounded like an "old wife's tale" only it matched up to when Xena was sleeping on one of the pillows at night. I thought back and yes, it matched the times I woke up head-achy! She stopped sleeping there for unexplained reasons and yes, I stopped having that sort of headache.

This morning I woke up with the same sort of headache but here's the thing, Gabby was sleeping on top of the bed last night. Before, when it was cold enough, she would slip under the covers and maybe have a head poking out. No problem with that. But both Gabby and Xena are long-haired cats. Ebony (who sleeps elsewhere) isn't. 

Might be something to this.
