Wasn't sure where to put this but thought I would share a little story about my little kismet and I.
So - he sleeps with me and generally this means on my chest but right up on my neck under my chin. He wakes me about 100 times a night turning around but he purrs all night long sleeping there so I deal with it.
Well - he like every other cat out there - decides when it is wakeup time!
He is sick right now and has super snotty nose and he uses this to his advantage.......
First I hear "mrow" "purr purr purrrrrr" then My hand gets a headbut... I move it on top of his head. "Mrow, purr purr purr"... but when he sees that mama isn't getting any closer to being awake out come the big guns.
Kismet will come up to my face and wipe his snotty nose all over me! LOL my nose, lips and cheeks covered in a trail of slime as he "marks" me. He loves to mark me but first thing in the morning his snotty nose is on full blast drip. This of course makes me turn my head and wipe my face off - which earns MORE purring and MORE snotty smothering
I turn my head back and forth and still he persists..... then I feel little love bites. Nostril, Lip or ear... which makes me giggle and turn my head away.
THEN? yea... I feel a TONGUE up my nose. That is the point I grab him with both hands and rough him up a bit while laughing... all the while him purring away.
Little turd.
SO TODAY? I decided to cover my face with my blankie to see what he would do. He pawed a bit then flopped across my face on his back... then? somehow? on his back? he managed to WORK his SNOTTY NOSE under my blanket and leave a slug trail on my forehead!
That was it, he won. We got up. Little turd. HE KNOWS when he does it that I wake up without fail. It's gross but cute and funny as heck. I can't wait till snotty nose is gone and our morning goofies are once again DRY! I love our morning wake up games but the boogers have got to go!
Oh yea and he is waking me up at 3:30 am...... *sigh* once he is healthy? that will stop. I will keep him awake in the daytime, tire him out and then if he STILL wakes me at 3 am I will put him in his room till 5 am on his own. I feel mean doing that but I am so seriously sleep deprived! It doesn't matter when we go to bed or how hard we play he is up by 3 am.
