Small Cat Diary 11
Spent 4 days over Xmas catsitting Napoleon and Gremlin at theirs (too short a time to bother with transporting them to mine, since they really don't like being taken anywhere); the last time I'd catsat them was last November. Gremlin was, as always, Gremlin; Napoleon spent considerably more time with me this time around (he sat on my lap for the first part of the so-so Star Trek prequel; Gremlin seemed to prefer French comedy Les Visiteurs).
This was not a bad thing except for the fact that I'm a light sleeper and was woken up one night by the sound of the bell on Napoleon's collar when he trotted into the bedroom, When he sees you're awake, he likes to sit on you and purr in your face; I checked the clock and it was just before 3am. I didn't have the heart to move him off and he seemed to like being there. Purring. 4 hours later I gave in and got up as it was time to feed them; he then spent the rest of the day asleep, except when I tried to take a nap in the afternoon and he returned to the purrstation.
The next night I pretended to be asleep when he trotted in, and it worked. Lesson learned :D
