Default It's NOT TIME YET!

She's tapping at me, murrrping at me, purring extra loudly, trying to
direct my attention towards the pantry where her food awaits. It's
not time yet!!!

She's fluffy enough as it is is. (And a lovely, fluffy, soft,
snuggly, loving kitty, I might add.) But if I feed her at 5:30AM
she's going to be starving (heh) again by 2PM and then she'll start
working on me again to feed her. She's only supposed to eat 1/4 cup
of kibbles twice a day. She weighs 16 lbs! fer cryin' out loud!
It's not like she can't live off some of her fluffiness for another
hour. It's not time yet!

Snoopy is just the same if I wake up early, I don't know how she
hears my eyes opening. ;-)


Persia has these routines for waking me up. Maybe it's the time change...
not sure but they are happening earlier now. I have multiple pillows on the
bed to prop up my shoulder to help me sleep better. She has recently taken
to climbing on the pillows over my head. She snoozes, but when she wakes up
she reaches out and rests a paw on top of my head. Just so I know she's
there, you know? I usually just chuckle and turn over and if I can I go
back to sleep.

But shortly thereafter she starts tapping me on the head. (She used to tap
me on the nose from beside me, now she's tapping me on my head!) And she'll
lean down and start combing my hair with her teeth. Anything to wake me up.

It's not bad enough I don't sleep well; when I'm finally sleeping soundly
she's waking me up because she's starving, poor baby!

It's no wonder I'll have to take a nap 2 hours from now... I barely got to
sleep before Persia started tapping me on the head and dragging my bangs
through her teeth! LOL
