I had the most disgusting wakeup ever.
DP is gone to New Brunswick for 4 weeks of internal medicine training.
He used to get up at 6:30. I'm lucky to be up by 8:30. The cats,
particularly Smokey, are pissed at waiting for their breakfast. For
the past three days, I've ignored having cats in my face, cats dripping
boogers onto my lips, cat paws patting my cheek, forehead and chin,
cats walking over me. No food until the alarm clock goes off.
But when I was awakened this morning at 6:30 am to Smokey /sucking my
armpit/, I was so grossed out that I got up, fed them, and went back to
bed.

Smokey knows how to get you moving! When I get depressed Persia licks my
oxters which reminds me I really need to take a bath. LOL

Sorry to be ignorant, but what are oxters? DH's cat woke him up once
by slapping him (literally) across the face with a beheaded mousie.

No need to worry, it's not a common term. Oxter means armpits. Grandma
Brown from Scotland used to tell us to "stick it under your oxter" if we
couldn't carry things in our hands.
Persia wakes me up tapping me on my nose, sans a mousie.

Now Smokey knows exactly what to do to get breakfast. ;-)

Yuk!
Sarrasine almost always wakes me up about 5-5.30 am by scratching the
top of a box of records. It annoys me (Why I don't know it's not like
the previous Furballs didn't ruin them) and I end up yelling at her and
getting out of bed to feed her or if I am feeling very cruel to lock
her out of the bedroom without feeding her!
Mind you since we got the ball thingy (Still don't know what they are
called) she likes to play with that for half the night (I've learnt to
sleep through it) and then she's too tired to wake up before I do

Sheesh, after that buildup, I thought you were going to say he was
expressing his anal glands on your pillow! Now that would get me out
of bed fast.
Am I the only weirdo who would find a cat trying to suckle my armpit
endearing? Although I'm rather ticklish in that area, so I probably
wouldn't tolerate it very long. I have to admit that I don't get why
it's disgusting. It's OK, though - you don't have to explain. Just a
gut reaction, I'm sure!
But now that you've fed him right after he did that, you do know that
he will think he's hit the jackpot, right? :)

I'm with you - it may be annoying when you're trying to sleep, but
definitely endearing, anyway.

No, now I wear long sleeved pyjama shirts to bed instead of the
tank-top kind.

I'm hoping he quits by the summer....At any rate, DP is coming home in
April.

Dennis thinks it's really disgusting, but I don't mind. I just don't
want Vino ingesting any antiperspirant, could be bad for him.
One time a while ago, when Dennis was away and I was being a slovenly
pig around the house, I wasn't wearing any pit stick and had just worked
out. I was very sweaty and I'm sure quite stinky. I flopped on the
couch after my workout. Vino came up and headed straight for my armpit.
I figured, what the heck, Dennis isn't here to get grossed out, let's
see what he does. So I let Vino lick my armpit. After a few licks, he
looked up at me with such a look of intense love and then flopped over
in upside downy head, burrowing his whole head into my armpit. It was
the cutest thing!

Years ago, I had a co-worker who had an extra nipple in her armpit.
She had six children, so it must have come in handy.

Too bad. Another few weeks (if that) and you'd have had them believing
that there would be no food until the alarm went off. As it is, you'd
better prepare to get up at 6:30 from now on.
