Not so long ago, my family (we have a cat) has bought a very interesting object, which, at first, totally seemed strange to me. When I first looked at it, I thought that it was a big middle-eastern looking hat for someone in our family to participate in a certain contest, performance, or something of that sort. However, when I put it on my head, instead of the expected, “Oh, dear, that suits you so well!” or “you look so authentic in this hat”, I heard a thunder-resembling laughter from behind of my back and the next thing I saw was my sister crying – so much she was laughing! I was taken aback. All right, I have never been a very good actress, I guess (or I never really tried to be), but to accept such disrespect…! What I heard next, however, was a rather strange comment, “this is…you know…for our cat…” At first, I could not comprehend why a cat needed to participate in a performance that we were putting up at school, but then a lightning struck through me, and I realized that the strange-looking thing was not a hat, but a cat bed! I felt ashamed…really…I mean, how could I have made such a blunt, stupid mistake? Nevertheless, as soon as I put the “hat” down on the floor, our cat, with a very smart-looking face, slowly proceeded to the bed and proudly, almost in a queen-like manner, laid herself down on the “throne”. What was weird is that when I had the bed on my head (I know, sounds ridiculous), it was not that big at all, but for our cat, about twelve pounds of weight, it was just right! And I started thinking, well, if cats have their beds, then do dogs have their dog beds? All right, if I can imagine a cat, a creature that is rather calm and flexible in a cat bed, then how can I imagine a dog, such an agile and movement-liking pet, in a dog bed? The first image that came to mind is a dog that is supposed to spend a night in a bed, getting out of it, and the dog jumping to one side, and the dog bed flying to another…
