Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2005I've got a Headnox.
Headnox = A black, furry, evil feline thing that curls around your head while you sleep and occupies your pillow. Often hogs pillow. Threatens to kick you in the head if you move too much. Guaranteed to make the sleeper look as if s/he is sporting a giant afro. We often have a headnox (well, usually DP, I move in my sleep--after several kicks in the head, Nox realizes it's easier to be DP's afro.) DP's parents came over to cat sit while we were in Maine and they used our bed. DP's dad got a headnox. He didn't like this and moved Nocturne. She returned, curled around his head again. Apparently he tossed her out of bed. She was so pissed she wouldn't go in the same room as him for the rest of his stay. DP's dad can't understand why his cat likes him so much and Nox just loathes him. My dad--mr "never had a house pet in his life"--just quietly submits to the headnox. And she was in HIS BED in HIS HOUSE at the time being pet-sat. AND she gave him a free hair-wash session--30 min of solid licking in his own bed--and he just quietly took it. Nocturne also poly'ed atop my friend Jon's head and when he moved, she promptly kicked him in the temple. He spent an hour lying ram rod still afraid to move *l* with her wrapped around his head... --Fil I share your pain! Maluce curls up like that on my pillow and has the nerve to growl loudly if I dare move during sleep. Sometimes I get mad and shove her off it to mattress level but she always returns to pillow (wool shams are reversed with softer fleece; I think she finds that more comfy to lay on than the scratchier wool cloth. I am grateful 19# Rowdy never gets up there, but is happy to sleep near my feet all night. > Headnox = A black, furry, evil feline thing that curls around your > head while you sleep and occupies your pillow.

Well, as bad as it is, a headnox *has* to be better than a facenox! ;> Hugs, CatNipped > > Headnox = A black, furry, evil feline thing that curls around your > > head while you sleep and occupies your pillow. Often hogs pillow. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > CatNipped There's something masochistic about pet ownership that makes the bed feel empty now if Nox /won't/ settle on the pillow as we go to sleep (though she is always there when we wake up) But yes, I am grateful that the breath from our noses makes the "facenox" very uncommon. (Though feeling a tail wagging across our faces happens fairly regularly) --Fil decepticoncommand@hotmail.com (Enfilade) had some very interesting things to say about Re: I've got a Headnox.: >There's something masochistic about pet ownership that makes the bed >feel empty now if Nox /won't/ settle on the pillow as we go to sleep [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >(Though feeling a tail wagging across our faces happens fairly >regularly) Felix has recently taken to sleeping on my pillow (this is new behavior for him and he's about 12). There's a LOT of him, which makes sharing a normal-size pillow a challenge. Then there's Ava's recent habit of perching on my head when I'm awake and she's out of her cage. My head is almost continually occupied by one of my "kids" these days, it seems like. :-) Signature"The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL LOL! Nox is such a character! :o) Of course, I mean "character" in a "She's taken over the world, and is waiting for all humans around the globe to get a clue regarding that fact" sort of way. ;o) Donna and the kitties who'd rather park themselves where we can easily reach them for pettins, Captain and Stanley >LOL! Nox is such a character! :o) Like Lady Macbeth. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > >LOL!

Though she has been chatty and crying tonight because we are both feeling a little ill (me with dizzy spells from Effexor withdrawl, DP from tiredness and irritability) and she keeps trying to lead us to bed so she cna tend us. --Fil > > >LOL!

My daughter found that was the only thing that helped her through the withdrawal. I hope you feel better fast!
