  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 “cat tent” and it’s emanating warmth. Especially being claustrophiles as they often are.

      One cat really didn’t 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 he’d crashed for longer than a few months I might have built enough trust for the cat tent

        Poor thing. I’m glad you were able to soften him up a bit.

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