Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2004Schedule Change at work does not = schedule change in Persia
I'm temporarily working 8:30 - 5:00 instead of my usual 7:00 - 3:30 shift. This has been the case for the last 2 weeks. However, Persia haw not changed HER 'shift' ROFL She's still trying to wake me up at 5:00 a.m. I don't have to get up until 7:00. She's been tapping me on the shoulder, leaping over me, licking my cheek, purring in my ear, followed by more 'tap tap' on the shoulder. I mumble "It's not *time* yet" and pat her and she settles down for a few minutes. Problem is, now it's light outside earlier and she just won't give up. She always still has food left so it's not that. She simply doesn't understand I need to sleep later right now.

LOL I have that same problem each time we switch from winter to summer time or vice versa (tonight, in fact). My furry alarm clock, Frank, takes a week or so to adjust. Then it starts getting lighter earlier each morning, and so he thinks it's OK to wake me up earlier each morning.

If this wasn't Saturday I'd be at the office working like the good little worker bee that I am... while she's lounging away at the end of the bed, all content and fat and happy. Hey! When do *I* get to do that every day? <G> Jill > >>> I'm temporarily working 8:30 - 5:00 instead of my usual 7:00 - 3:30 > >>> shift. This has been the case for the last 2 weeks.

When do *I* get to do that every day? <G> Sheesh, you go to work so Persia can lounge on the bed all day. Mere slaves shouldn't question the status quo, and just be happy that their furry tyrant^H^H^H^H^H^H master is happy. You are indeed a lucky slave in that Persia allows you to share her bed!

I might manage to catch Dakota out tomorrow, since the clocks go forward tonight. :-) Then he'll just have to get used to his cat-sitter's schedule next weekend, instead of waking Mummy up at dawn.

HA! Good luck with that. Frank woke me up just as early, i.e. one hour earlier than usual this morning (Sunday). I can only assume that he actually reads the dial on the clock, because I set it forward last night so as not to forget that it is summer time now (wouldn't believe it looking out the window, the ground is covered in snow and there are heavy clouds above. Might snow some more today).

I need to get up at 0630 to get the kitties fed, myself coffee'ed and cleaned up, and get to work. So the alarm clock (the electronic one) is set for 6:30. Smokey is uncanny in his ability to wake up 5-15 minutes before the electronic pest and play his special version of Reveille (sp?). That involves getting up on the dresser and dragging things off (change, car keys, wallet, etc.). If that doesn't work, he moves to the bedside table and starts raking stuff off that. Occasionally, he'll pull a b*st@rd cat trick and do his thing between 0400 and 0500. Once I got all the way into the kitchen and had his breakfast feeding down before my eyes were open enough to see the clock. Grrrr! But we love him anyway. Sam Isn't it weird how they seem to have an internal clock that is really on the mark? Jazz ALWAYS knows when his meals are due, never varies, 7am, 11am and 5pm. It's like he's got this alarm clock set to those 3 times and the buzzing goes off when the time comes. Don't know if they ever get over this.
