#$^&*(()*^%$ What a wake-up call!
I'm sound asleep, and I sleep soundly. I've had a lot of appointments
and such this week, so I'm really, really tired, and this is my one day to sleep in a little bit. THUMP! Crash bounce OUCH! "Wha? Huh?" (that's me waking up -- lol) "Kaaaaaattttiiiieeeeeee!" Dear little Kate had decided she was bored with being in the "Cool Room" and wanted out. Apparently, she decided the best way to accomplish her aim was to jump up on the headboard of the (leaky) waterbed, and knock off an Easter basket that holds my multitudinous medications, directly on my head. Nothing like a cat to act as your personal alarm clock, huh? Ginger-lyn |

Oh, sure, she'll tap me on the nose to try to wake me up. But if I pat her and say "shhhh" she settles down for 10 minutes before the snooze delay turns off and she's back to tapping me. Um, excuse me, can't you tell I'm starving here? "Shhhhhh!". Oh, okay. Recently she decided giving me little nips on the chin was the way to go but that just makes me giggle and then say "shhhhh" again! And she settles back down for another 10-15 minutes. Her new strategy is to put her face right up next to my ear and purr as loudly as she can, all the while blowing her puffy breath in my ear. This creates a sort of weird wind tunnel effect so the purrs echo. Okay, okay, I'll get up! Jill |

I don't hear him breathing, I don't hear him purring; I only "intuit" his stare and I awaken. That's all it takes: seeing his face all-so-close-and-nearly-distorted makes me burst out laughing and then I'm done for. Might as well get up. I think one of the reasons it makes me laugh (in addition to the look of his face so intent and so close) is that it reminds me of the old wives' tale (oooh! I just realized how sexist that saying is!) that "cats should be kept from sleeping babies because they can *suck the breath from them!*" Hmm. Even in those days of that particular wives' tale we always had multiple cats around... Hmmm... -- Remember: It is To Laugh http://tinyurl.com/2a5u8b |

She had a little boy, about three or four, who loved to see Persia lounging on the front window sill. And he wanted a cat but she had just found out she was pregnant. She said something along the lines of, "I can't have a cat, it will kill my baby!" It was the suck the breath thing. I just shook my head. I'll bet if she broke a mirror she'd be convinced she had 7 years bad luck, too. Jill |

She could have decided to wake you by landing with her full weight on your full bladder. Captain and Stanley both have perfected that technique. Eeeeee. ;o) Donna But playing "trampoline" on Meowmy's tummy is FUN! Captain and Stanley |
