I'm trying to figure out how to keep our "foster" cat off my legs during the night, especially when I'm in the recliner (which is most of the time). I don't want to shut him out of the room--he gets little enough "people time" as it is. And I don't mind a bit if he sleeps with and even ON me, but not on my legs!!

It's cool at night now, and I sleep with a pillow on my lap--that helps discourage him from sleeping/walking on my thighs, but he keeps trying to lie down on my lower legs. OW OW OW! Let the spasms begin! Poor guy, he doesn't understand what he's doing wrong.

I wonder what I could put over/around my legs to keep him off? Maybe I could make something out of a big cardboard box? A laundry basket? Egg cartons? Maybe I'm just so sleep-deprived that I'm missing the obvious.

I guess I could sprinkle catnip on my husband's legs...
