Wish I could explain to the cat that sheâs allowed under the doona:

I usually do and she accepts it but then the doona is covering my head đ

Lie on side - raise top arm and possibly knee to create cat tent with doona - she may go under and then you can possibly slowly lower the doona down over the lower half of her body.
It might be more effective with a heat source to tempt her in.
Maybe Melbcat is unusually cuddly for a cat though

This is the way. I never met a cat that could resist the call of the âcat tentâ and itâs emanating warmth. Especially being claustrophiles as they often are.

One cat really didnât like being confined or held and would lash out (a neglected runaway I eventually got back to his owner) but with patience he started to spoon with me over the covers on his own.
If heâd crashed for longer than a few months I might have built enough trust for the cat tent

Poor thing. Iâm glad you were able to soften him up a bit.

I better put the chili pots in the warm part of the garden

Thank you! Will give it a go tonight.
