Another female keeps coming between me and my husband....

A few weeks ago, I started a discussion about about the "problems" I am having with another female who keeps monopolizing my husband's time--our elderly cat, Cleo! LOL. Well, another female is now seeking to come between us--our younger female cat, Sookie. She and Cleo don't get along too well, so Sookie sleeps in our room and Cleo sleeps on the couch in a pile of blankets (when she isn't sleeping on my husband's lap, of course). Sookie started out by sleeping at the end of the bed, usually on my side (I am shorter, so there's more space for her). But she has recently made a discovery--it's warmer if she sleeps between us than if she only sleeps near one of us. So, lately, she has started sleeping between us. It used to be that she slept between our feet or legs, but now she is slowly but surely moving up the bed every night. By the morning, she is either right between our heads just below the pillows, or she is actually on the pillows with us, purring away, with her tail in somebody's face--usually my husband's. No wonder he ends up on the couch with Cleo! LOL. And, of course, when she decides to wake up (usually between 5-6 am) she meows at us and pokes us in the face with her paw. It is very cute, but it keeps me awake half the night. Then I finally fall back asleep and she is meowing at me! But I don't have the heart to force her to sleep elsewhere, especially because she is so comfortable... As you can see, the cats pretty much rule our house, maybe second only to the kids. But usually it's the cats!
