Melbcat was being restless and kept trying to step onto my laptop while I was typing... kind of like a toddler when you're on the phone. When that didn't work she headbutted my cup full force like Spyro and dumped an entire cup of coffee over my bed. Plus everything nearby.

It splashed the keyboard a little but thankfully no damage to the laptop. And thankfully there was waterproofing on the mattress and quilted cloth protectors on the pillows. But I ended up having to pull out the old spare bedding I was going to donate because the second main set is still in the wash from fleas/spilled baby food.

I can't really stop having cuppas in bed because of fatigue but will be putting them in travel cups with sealed lids. And I'll get some actually waterproof pillow protectors. Might rethink the arrangement of things or leave a permanent drop cloth under a high risk spot too.

Edit: I think she wanted food. Fed her and it was approaching 3pm which is when I was giving extra meals. She's eating so much wet food lately that I'm wondering if the biscuits are just too hard or maybe it's her thyroid or her teeth. The little tins of wet food are so expensive too. I wish I could just buy the big affordable cans of Snappy Tom because it's basically the same thing for much better value, but remembering that one might not have gone down well.
