KEEPING HER HEAD IN THE GAME

 


Does this cat know her head is upside-down?

Probably, since it's her favorite sleeping pose.

We call her Sweetie-Pie.

When I'm not calling her something else for waking me with her yowls while it's still as dark as her fur.

4 a.m. seems to be when she's ready for her breakfast.

Then while I stagger around trying to get accustomed to being awake at that hour, she goes back to a contented sleep.

Sweetie-Pie indeed!

Bah!

We named her before we knew her!

I used to notice this with dogs. They needed out urgently in the early morning. I'd get up and dressed, walk them, home by six latest. Then it was too late for me to go back to bed, too early to be up. The dog? Back in my bed, snoozin.

Same thing. Up at 3 to 4 am. Let the dog out, feed the dog, I then get my peace and quiet with my first cup of coffee and the dog goes to sleep on a dogbed in the den. Long standing habit.

That's such a funny sleeping pose for Sweetie-Pie. It is a bit cheeky of her to wake you up so early for breakfast and then go right back to sleep herself. She sounds like a real character.

Being deaf has its compensations sometimes.

I hate waking up at 4 am but I don't have a cat to blame - just my silly mind bugging me with worries...

Mari sleeps like that too; it hurts my neck to see it. Cats really like to sleep during the day and be up a lot of the night/early morning. Not my preference!

Instead if a baby waking you up, the dog does that joy. Our daughter's dog is Lucy and she loves me a lot. Cats? Our cat Scuba was pretty independent.

What would happen if you just shove her off the bed and you don't get up? My cats have learned to leave me alone in the morning until I start to stir around and then they are all over me like white on rice. I can even get up to use the bathroom at 5:30 a.m and can go back to bed where they pretty much leave me alone.

Yes! The downside of some pets. 😊
