Crepuscular Creatures, was How do I "set back" Amber?
"cybercat" wrote in message ... "Phil P." wrote: Cats are crepuscular [..] Even indoors, mine are up with the sunrise. Actually, more like at the first light of day even. In any season, right? Even though the time of the sunrises change. My two former ferals do the same, but my indoor-raised cats don't seem to come to life until someone goes into the kitchen- not the bathroom- not the living room- only the kitchen. They never learned to read the sun. ;-) I had a few 4:30 wake-up pounces this summer. Now, with the gloomy late fall mornings they let me sleep in late some mornings. Doncha just love some of the wild instincts they retained? ;-) Phil Both of my cats, former ferals, are crazy wild at dusk and dawn. I love to see them that way, Oh yeah! I love to see their wild side. and allow extra time so that I can get up when they do, play, and go back to bed to get enough sleep. My little 7-lb tabby girl is wildest of all, maybe because she is younger. After we play with the feather on a string that bored her at midnight but thrills her at dawn I open the bedroom window and she blisses out on the birds beginning to sing. If I am too tired and try to roll over and go back to sleep she blows me off and gathers the comforter in to a ball and kicks it to death, hunkers down and pounces on nothing, misjudging the edge of the bed and going sailing into the pile of giftboxes on the big chair, then plays kangaroo kitty on the top of my pillow until I have to wake up and play with her. It's my favorite time of day, catwise. Here's the perfect toy- better than a laser pointer because the cats can actually catch it. They look so proud when they finally catch it! http://www.maxshouse.com/Environment...r-w-suggie.jpg I can lie in bed and cast the lure down the hallway (it has a 40' range) and reel it back- and jerk it away just as they're ready to pounce on it. I don't know how many meetings I've been late for or missed because I was having so much fun fishing for cats! |
