Great suggestions! I've thought about putting a litter box on the bed, will try that. I can also try to put her in her litter box before she comes up, but often she's just suddenly UP here without me having any pre-warning. She just loves the bed for some reason!
You're right, she just gets really excited and can't control herself. I'm hoping she'll get the hang of it the older she gets. It's not a huge deal, really. I love her so much, I can easily put up with it.
You're right, they are great pets. I have a new appreciation for how funny they are. She found a soda can the other day and started throwing it up in the air like a dog! It was hilarious!!!
I hope she'll get accustomed to us picking her up, she doesn't love it. She scrambles around and tries to get away at first, but once I finally get control of her and start petting her, she calms down. But, she's pretty darn hard to catch!
