Argh kitten a.k.a. attention wh0re
Gratch, as much as I adore her, has a rather annoying tendency to find between 4 and 7 a.m. as a time to act up. She will perform any one or a combination of these...
a) get right by my (or his) head and purr, also tickling with whiskers in order to wake us. If face is cover, paw to the ear with claws extended.
b) find an item on a dressing table or under the bed or on the windowsill that will make noise when she paws at it. Knocking shit off is an extra.
c) noisily climp on top of some high area like the printer or the duchess. Extra for knocking shit off at the same time.
d) jump on the bed and attack the covers, even if they're not moving. Particularly if we're snuggled close and she can't get between us.
e) race all around the house and attack random shit in the room next door. Extra for swiping at dangly bits on the horns of the cow skull and claws scraping on the wall between living room and bedroom.
She fucking knows that this is frowned upon behavior. (In fact, it got her a light smack when she did the covers attack after playing up over the two hours before the alarm went off) We are NOT to be disturbed before the alarm goes off, even if one (or both) of us stumble off to use the toilet before then. It is sleepy time and she is disturbing the peace. Shutting her out of the bedroom is not an option, as she'll still run around the rest of the place and knock things over, and generally be a pain in the ass.
I love her, I really do. But damn sometimes she's a naughty ratbag.
