If cats could speak..

[kkh]

This morning, around 8am.

I woke up after feeling usual furry-paw pat-pat on my face.
(she already woke me up at "the usual time" and got fed)
I thought it may be her litter - walked to check her litter - nothing.

I walked into kitchen, checked her food & water bowls as well - nothing special.
I didn't know what it was...I looked around.
Saw Ku Ku sphynxing and staring at something but I couldn't quite see what she was staring at. I put my glass on & walked up to see if there's anything wrong.

Me: Anything wrong, baby?
Ku Ku: (silence)
Me: (discovered this tiny roach few feet away from her) OMG, a roach!
Get it, baby, Get it!

Ku Ku: (first looked at roach, then looked up & saw my face, repeatedly looked up & down...)
Me: What are you waiting for, Ku Ku? Get it, get it!
Ku Ku: (didn't even move at all. Gave me a kind of look)
Me: What's wrong with you, Ku Ku? Get it for me, get it!
Ku Ku: (still sphyinxing - acting as if there's a sign "I AM CURRENTLY OFF DUTY, HAVE A NICE DAY" posted on her face)

While this tiny roach was motionless in front of Ku Ku, I had to get a kleenex & pick it up to dispose it. I still praised her for detecting it, though.

Me: ...thank you for detecting it for me, baby...

As soon as I said this, Ku Ku stood up and stretched, as if she's saying "of course, I left it for you to catch, hope you enjoyed it. Aahhh...finally it's gone."

This is not the first time she did this to me, though.
Seems she does not (or is not feeling like?) catch or chase anything in the morning...maybe she is not in "the hunting mode" until evening?

Sasha: "Um hello, I'm hungry and you haven't fluffed my food yet. Oh and I am thirsty but there might be hair in my water and I couldn't possibly drink water with a hair in it, it must be changed out."

4am, I know the meows, the pats to the head, the wandereing around the bed.
I used to keep an arsenal of balled up socks to throw at a former cat who was relentless with meowing at the bedroom door. Now before you think me cruel for throwing things at an old cat they were socks, soft fluffy socks and good luck aiming at 4am half asleep, even if one did connect she looked at me like "That all ya got? food food food food........"

I would say that you have remarkable kitties and I just don't have the heart to throw a pillow at Whimsey. He gets cut extra slack since he has IBD and I never discourage him from eating because during flareups he refuses to eat thereby adding extra gray hair to his mom's head!

This thread is too funny! Thanks for the laughs! I can picture SO much of it, which is the really funny part!

If my cats could speak their morning would consists of complaints of being jostled and stepped on (by another cat). They sleep in, I have lazy cats.

As for the rest of the time. I'm pretty sure we'd have to censor Sherman and Tomas, they're complaints sound naughty enough in meows.

Nobody wakes me up that early either.

Miku: Smell my nose. SMELL MY NOSE. Isn't it awesome? It smells like NOSE. Look, there's a box! Let's eat it!
George: You do that. I'm going to lick my paws.
Miku: BOX BOX BOX! George, why aren't you helping me? Smell my nose! It smells like BOX!
George: Talk to the paw. *bonk*
Miku: You want a piece of this? I'll mess you up real good! Oh look, there's a box. BOX BOX BOX. I'm boxing a box!

Zephyr: (4 month female)Why..?
Silver: It's funny to make the people think strange people broke in. They yell and swear and chase and it's ever so much fun!
Zephyr: Okay. I'm going to go sleep under the bed. Call me when you're medicated.
Silver: NOOOOO!!! PLAYPLAYPLAY!!! *tackles and bites*
Zephyr :*swears loudly and scratches silver*
DH: Do we want to know what they're doing?
Me: No...I'll go check...
