Sleeping in, Min-style

[pjthompson]

1 a.m.

Me: Goodnight, Min.
Min: purr purr snuggle snuggle Goodnight.

3 a.m.

Min: Hey! Wake up!
Me: Wuh? Huh?
Min: Isn't it time for you to go to the bathroom or something?
Me: I guess.
Min: Good, because I like to have company while I eat my middle of the night crunchies.

5 a.m.

Min: Hey! Wake up!
Me: Wuh? What now?
Min: It's time to get up and feed me.
Me: It's too early.
Min: Until quite recently this was the hour you used to get up and feed me.
Me: Times change. Now, shut up and go back to sleep.

6:30 a.m.

Min: Hey! Wake up! It's long past time to feed me! This is ridiculous! I'm being abused!
Me, blearily getting up to slap food into her plate: I'm going back to bed now.

8 a.m.

Min: Don't you think you should get up now? You've been sleeping quite a long while.
Me: No. Shut up and go back to sleep.

9 a.m.

Min (snuggling on my chest and purring loudly): This is great. I could stay here all day.
Me: Actually, I was thinking of getting up.
Min: What?? You never think of anyone but yourself. Shut up and go back to sleep.

Who needs an alarm clock when you share your home with a quadruped? My alarm usually goes off while I'm putting Toby's lead on for his first-thing walk.

The hour change was a NIGHTMARE. Toby seems to understand the big hand pointing up* but he doesn't have a clue about what the little hand is for.

*I go out to work just after 7. At 7 o'clock he goes frantic.

They're very strict--at least mine is. One must keep to schedules! :-)

Dogs are even more demanding. Early to rise, and long walks. Sometimes I wonder whether I really want to be that healthy.

[pjthompson]

lol--that's one of the reasons I have cats. But when we had pooches, we always had yards they could run around in so that mitigated the "taking the walk" thing.

My cat could certainly use more exercise, though.

I think she's just making sure you don't have nightmares. It's downright considerate of her.

[pjthompson]

Oh yes, she's a very considerate kitty. Except for times (like now) when she wants me off the computer so she can have lap time. :-)

*lol*

- and that is why my kitties don't sleep in the bedroom (Of course Murp found a hazelnut in the middle of the night and was rolling it around on our wooden floor *klonk rrrrrrr klonk bonk rrrr*)

[pjthompson]

Oh, but I'd miss the cuddling when she's being good...

Maeve does the three a.m. "Mom, are you still alive? You are? Oh, okay, see you later then" thing.

That must be the offical Kitty Hour of Unease.
