Cat Forum / General Topics / November 2003Can someone please.....
Can someone please explain to my little Artemis that 5:00 in the morning is "Mummy and Daddy sleep" time....NOT "Artemis cuddles mummy and gives her a bath" time? Oh, and while you're at it....could you also explain to him that the polite way of sharing mummy's pillow is to actually _share_ it......not sprawl out across it leaving mummy with about 2 square inches of pillow. He's lucky he's so cute.....little bugger! ^_^ Cat's don't believe that human pets should be allowed to sleep on pillows. > Can someone please explain to my little Artemis that 5:00 in the morning is > "Mummy and Daddy sleep" time....NOT "Artemis cuddles mummy and gives her a [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > He's lucky he's so cute.....little bugger! ^_^ Ahhh....I see.....I wasn't aware of that!

Consider yourself lucky. The first page of the cat handbook instructs them to take entire bed, not just the pillow. -------------------------------------------- "It took us 15 years to McGyver this thing." -------------------------Carter on Stargate To send me e-mail exorcise NO Spam from my e-mail address. Hmm...no that memo must have got misplaced. ^_^ > So you didn't get the memo where it was stated that early > morning is when you are supposed to get up and feed the > cats? Well, when you add in the other 6 cats in various places on the bed, they're pretty close to taking over. One on my pillow, one next to me, usually one ON me, and the rest scattered around taking up all the leg room. Sigh. I should just start sleeping on the couch... > Consider yourself lucky.

You're one to talk about 5:00 in the mornings... Here in Europe the time has changed one hour forward to wintertime - so now it's 4:00 at *night* when the cat wants to make sure that breakfast is on the way!!

Naw, that's all part of the strategy: If the purring, kissing, biting, sticking the whiskers into your eyes and sneezing into the face doesn't work, then cat comes so near the face that it tickles. You have to sneeze, look for a hankie in the dark, can't find one, have to turn the light on. All this ensures that you end up fully awake. And once the cat has you that far you might as well get up to make yourself a coffee and feed the little troublemaker. :-) -- Carola ^..^ ~~ , =?`= ___ ) (_ Most states yes we change our clocks (last Sat in Oct and first sat in April...

She's a late sleeper like me. She will move from her normal position at the foot of my bed up to my face around 7 am if I am not already up but never earlier. I did have a male cat who has since crossed the bridge that did that. He would climb up onto my back, side, tummy...whichever...and walk up to my face then stare. Even a cat that only weighs 13lbs is heavy one foot at a time. I would get up, go put food down for him, check his water dish etc..then go attempt to go back to bed only to find him comfortably sleeping in the spot I just vacated. Maybe it's a guy thing? <G> AG >You're one to talk about 5:00 in the mornings...

With the exception of Honolulu, and some parts of Indiana and Arizona, North America has Daylight Saving too. The clocks change on the last Sunday in October in North America and Europe - and change the other way in some of Australia. In Spring it is different: North American [and some Australian] clocks change on the last Sunday in March, European clocks on the first Sunday in April. In Australia, Daylight Saving applies in South Australia, Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales only. The October change is on the first Sunday rather than the last Sunday in Tasmania only.

I'm in Canada, actually, but yes....we do the time change too. So I'm also getting woken up at 4 now. > Oh, and while you're at it....could you also explain to him that the polite > way of sharing mummy's pillow is to actually _share_ it......not sprawl out > across it leaving mummy with about 2 square inches of pillow. > > He's lucky he's so cute.....little bugger! ^_^ It's obvious that you still are not completely house trained. Artemis really needs to work on that. The appropriate sleeping mode is for Artemis to take most of the pillow AND get the human occupants to accept only a slim edge of the bed for sleeping so Artemis can stretch out and fully relax. >Oh, and while you're at it....could you also explain to him that the polite >way of sharing mummy's pillow is to actually _share_ it......not sprawl out >across it leaving mummy with about 2 square inches of pillow. Cats are lucky they're cute. My two cats used to sleep on the bed with me. One would get on one pillow, one on the other. They graciously allowed me to put my head in the crack between the two pillows. Sometimes I'd try to sneak my head back onto part of one of the pillows in the middle of the night but I'd generally get a kick in the head and a disgusted look from the cat. I'm getting used to not sleeping on a pillow. They train us well dont that... I once heard the main personality difference between cats and dogs.. Dog thoughts " you feed me, love me, play with me, give me toys and treats...You must be a god" Cat thoughts "you feed me, love me, play with me, give me toys and treats..."I" am most definately a GOD!!"..... >>Oh, and while you're at it....could you also explain to him that the polite >>way of sharing mummy's pillow is to actually _share_ it......not sprawl out [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > generally get a kick in the head and a disgusted look from the cat.

My Shamrock does this, too. If you find a way, please share. :) |
