ok..nothing serious. i'm sitting here on the loveseat and chobahn is laying next to me. WHY is it that when he's on the couch he curls himself up so tightly that he looks like a fetus, but when he's sleeping on the bed he just has to spraaaaawl out and stick his big legs and butt everywhere? sometimes he will even spread out and then lay his head on my legs. i honestly don't understand him sometimes.

Bed means spread out. Love seat is smaller couch and he wants you to fit on it w/ him. In bed your laying down what more could you want..

They do it to mess with us...I'm sure of it

well it's weird because even if nobody is by him and he has the whole couch to himself, he still curls up in a ball...he could spread out cuz he has the room, but he doesn't. he sleeps at the foot of the bed, which , in theory, doesn't leave enough room for him to sprawl because our legs are stretched out to the end...but somehow he always finds a way to do it. but really...i'm not complaining, i love his company. i get lonely with out him lol

Mine pushes his legs out so your off the couch or the chaise lounge we had. Lucky hates our bed to high for him these days. When Im reading on the couch i barely ha ve room as he streches out and uses his back feet to push. He just puts his butt on my lap on the loveseat.Love him lots though

mind games. they're messing with us. Confusing us intentionally hoping to knock us off into the land of the confused just enough they can sneak in and get all the treats from the cupboard or wherever we stash them at the time because we're still pondering why they do the curled up on the couch but take over the bed move...

i often think chobahn is like stewie from family guy. always plotting and planning for world domination.

very possible and I wouldnt put it past him!

he totally knows what he's doing...i think he definitely waits until we are asleep to sprawl out and take over the bed.

I agree...all sprawled out in bed with their feet in my back...ack! I am too ticklish for that so they don't get to stay long!
