‘Wakey-Wakey!’ Says Your Cat

Do you ever get the impression that there are certain everyday human activities that cats don’t approve of, and which they try, with gentle determination, to get us out of doing? Like reading, for instance. They sit on the top when you try to read it.

Sleeping is another thing they don’t think we ought to be doing a lot of. So they wake us. My cat Missy used to bring a pipe cleaner into bed and butt me with her head until I woke up and threw the pipe cleaner out of bed–so she could run after it and bring it back, and I could throw it again. This was so much more fun than letting me sleep.

Ah, well… It doesn’t take an awful lot to please them, does it?

  1. Iggy doesn’t go for my face when he wants me to get up. He prefers to walk around on me, stamping his feet. I think he studied an anatomy textbook in order to pinpoint exactly where the bladder is within the human torso. 🙁 🙂

    1. One of our cats figured out how to tap the shade on the bedroom window so that it would fly open with a loud clatter. I can’t say I enjoyed that.

  2. I always love the sight of children and pets interacting. There is just something very right about that. I am certain that God intended the animals to be beneficial companions to children.

    Great video!
