Sunday morning...

Meh, would've slept it in if weren't for Lestat, aka Supermodel Boodaboo, bothering me for food. Couldn't go back to sleep after that.

His preferred method is to lay above my head and knead or chew on my hair. Many times I'll wake up with my head completely pushed off the pillow and him curled up and contentedly purring above me. I'll usually push

The Horde have different ways to disrupt my sleep.

The junior horde will tickle my face with their whiskers. The senior horde prefer Death From Above, achieved by jumping full force from the top of the headboard onto my chest. Nothing quite like 15 pounds from two feet overhead onto a sleeping belly to rouse one from sleep.

I laughed so hard I snorted! Thank you for this.

They are a funny bunch, aren't they. They want what they want, when they want it. My new kitty is only seven months old, so we're trying some new "rules". . . yeah, I said rules. . . with a cat. Nietzsche, the cat in my icon usually comes to visit me while it is still dark out and no way am I getting up then. Then my husband gets up at 6:30, but doesn't feed him. After all, he can go nibble on his dry food anyway. So what I do is wait until after I've made my coffee (even though it's decaf) and sometimes let him wait until 10 or so. So far, he's a very good boy and he waits w/o driving me nuts. My previous cat meowed so much I had to give in. But, I do think that is the trick. Make them wait when you can. At dinner time, he joins me in the kitchen while I'm cooking and he reminds me that he's there waiting for "can".
