My Bed Just Threw Me on the Floor

**MisaLady** · 11-20-2008, 04:32 AM

So. It's approximately 12:50 or so. I'm on my bed, kind-of-sort-of attempting to sleep. My bed is one of those "inflatable/adjusting beds". It's on a weird platform system. One of my cats is insistent that he needs to be pet RIGHT NOW. So I sit up and pet him. He's on my shoulder at this point. After a few minutes, he climbs down my shoulder and walks past the dog. Cat backs up and does the "oh my god, I'm going to die" maneuver (the dog got his bluff in with this cat when the cat was a kitten). Dog barks and chases him across the bed. I grab cat and calm dog down. I hear a crunching sound and suddenly WHAM! I'm thrown against the wall and tumble onto the floor. All of the legs (which were plastic) had broken off from underneath one of the floor platforms. Now the mattress will be on the floor until we get a real bedframe and a boxspring.

I had to giggle for a quick second with the mental image of the animals going insane.

Glad you aren't seriously hurt. We had our mattress on the floor for almost 5 years, I just recently bought a frame that doesn't need a box spring so I share in your 'on the floor blues'.

I hope you can get a real bed soon

Oh man, when the furniture is telling you it's time to buy new furniture...you're in trouble!

I thought you were going to say that the cat popped it with it's nails when it ran across it in panic mode!

I also laughed thinking of the image.

Hope you get a bed soon!

Yow, if you could rig it to do that on cue, it would be better than an alarm clock!!

Glad no one was seriously injured in the bed rodeo. Sorry you got thrown.

So, your claim is the ANIMALS jumping on the bed wore out the legs, eh?

Suuuuuuure they did.. Blame it on the furry beasts!

that is too funny!!!

i'm sure it wasn't so funny at the time it was happening though.......thanks for starting off our days with a little humor and smile.

Oh that was funny. I'm so sorry to laugh but oh man I haven't laughed like that in awhile. Don't you just love rowdy pets in the middle of the night? Reminds me of a time when our cats and dog had a party one night and knocked all of the pictures off of the walls in the living room and had bread thrown througout the rest of the house. Yeah they got into the bread on the counter and threw a bread party without eating it...they just decorated the house with it lol.

This thread deserves the "make you laugh" thread of the day award.

Oh and yeah it's time for a new bed lol. .
