A State of Confusion
My kitty Thufir (aka Mr. Fluffy) likes to come wake me up in the morning. He'll start by pawing me on the head. When I roll over and pull the covers over my head, he'll come under the covers with me and lick my face for a bit and then settle down and go to sleep. It's really sweet and I've been late more than once because I didn't want to get up and disturb him. As soon as I show a hint of getting out of bed, he sprints away towards the food bowl. I've been pondering for months how to get a picture of this. This morning I gave it a shot and here's what I have.

Here's the culprit. See that guilty look on his face?


Here he is licking my face.


And now he has calmed down and settled in.

Awww!
What a great alarm clock! Chynna does something similar, but she doesn't get under the covers. She settles on the pillow beside my head with the top half of her body on my hand. When she does it, I end up falling back asleep.

LOL cute pictures.

I'm trying to figure out how to teach Jack to bug hubby in the morning--it isn't working. It's really sweet that they don't start to bother me until my alarms sounds or they see my eyes open.

Yesterday morning some idiot called my cell at 3:30 AM and to them it sounded like an alarm clock, they thought it was breakfast time--so it was an interesting very unsolid 6 hours of sleep until I actually got up and fed them.

Awww!! How cute!! That cat, and you!


Nora just bugs me when I'm falling asleep, by laying on my head and grooming herself. Once she's had enough she moves to the foot of the bed. She used to bug me to let her out to pee but I just ignored her. Now she immediately goes to her daddy b/c he will let her out. lol She isn't nice enough to wait for indications on our part to see if we are ready to get up. When she wants to pee she wants to pee NOW! This is generally between 5 and 6am, and we don't get up until around 7.

Awwww, you guys are terrible!

Keep it up.


Seriously though, first thing in the morning isn't exactly the best time to be taking pictures of myself, but I guess it's a sacrifice I'll have to make to capture the moment.



The interesting thing is that Thufir didn't start doing this until after he had a urinary tract infection and got completely stopped up. He nearly died and spent a week in the hospital. After he came back home, he started two completely new behaviors. Climbing under the covers with me in the morning was the first. The second was that he jump on top of the bed when I first got in and (best way I can describe it) march in place on my feet for several minutes. The 'marching' has almost quit, but he still comes to see me nearly every morning.

When Squirt decides she wants me up, she gets on my bedside table and starts knocking things into the floor. You can imagine how much noise the phone makes when it hits the hardwood floors, and trust me..I get up!
