"
An Average Night In
the Home of a Cat Lover
"
Copyright 27 February 2004 - JL Snurr, Sr.
11:00 pm
- Wife and I go upstairs to prepare for bed and hopefully sleep
11:05 pm
- Wife and I say our bed-time prayers which sound something like, "Dear
Lord, PLEASE let us get some SLEEP! PLEASE?!?" We have learned that if
we make our voice tremble on that last 'please' He'll know we're really
serious.... I think. Meanwhile, Raggie waits patiently, but easing
herself closer and closer to the bed.
11:15 pm
- Raggie and I wage a race to see who gets possession of my pillow for the
night.
11:20 pm
- Weasel and Wooli jump onto the bed with the guise of keeping us warm.
11:25 pm
- Katz are all still.... finally. (Thank You Lord)
11:30 pm
- I fall asleep
12:00 mid night
- I'm awakened by things falling from the shelves above the bed onto my
head because the katz are wanting to go for a midnight stroll.
12:01 am
- I push the stuff away.
12:15 am
- I fall asleep.
1:00 am
- The noise of something falling is heard; katz, finding a place to
hide, go bounding across the room with the sound of horses.
1:15 am
- I go back to sleep.
2:00 am
- Am awakened by Katz chasing and pouncing on each other... including me.
It's dark but my wife tells me it's Weasel and Wooli.
2:20 am
- I go back to sleep.
3:00 am
- I'm awakened by two katz growling and hissing at each other. Still
dark and wife is growling back at them.... who ever they are.
3:25 am
- I again go back to sleep though it's getting progressively more difficult.
4:00 am
- I am awakened by a fuzzy face being shoved up my nose by a lovable cat
who thinks it's time to play. Gotta be Wooli!
4:01 am
- I sneeze from the cat hair up my nose and I push him toward my wife.
4:15 am
- My wife gets a snoot full of cat and takes that cat downstairs and quietly
shuts the stair door while I doze off.
4:30 am
- Am awakened when something BIG falls from somewhere high in the room. I
didn't think they could get up there....
4:50 am
- Before I can doze off, something falls onto wife. I ask myself,
'What are they doing? Dancing the twist?'
4:51 am
- Wife mumbles something and nearly falls from the bed trying to get up.
|
4:52 am
- I doze off.
4:53 am
- I'm awakened by wife trying to round up remaining cats. They MUST
be ADHD.... Frustrated, wife hurriedly stumbles down stairs with
the remaining cats under an arm.
4:59 am
- I doze off
5:00 am
- Wife awakens me from my dose when she ensures that the door is securely
closed by SLAMMING the door shut and stomps back up the stairs. Of
course at this point, I'm sitting bolt upright and she's mumbling something
about catz climbing the curtains and fig tree.
5:20 am
- I doze off.
5:25 am
- Awakened by three cats running, pouncing and chasing each other through
the 70 foot long downstairs.
5:35 am
- I doze off...
5:40 am
- Awakened by the living room door going... "THUMP,
thump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump...." like an old fashioned screen
door.
5:55 am - I doze off.
6:00 am
- Awakened when the alarm goes off...
6:01 am
- Alarm clock ricochets off the wall on the other end of the room.
6:02 am
- Mumbling unheard of things to myself, I stagger toward the general
direction of the bathroom with hopes that I don't miss anything important.
(Gotta admit, ya hafta
be a cat lover to let them get away with this... )
