Lately Shamrock has found a new way to wake me up in the morning. I
keep a travel mug of ice water on the computer table I use in bed sometimes (think hospital bedside table). The last several days he's been knocking the cup off of the table but yesterday and today he knocked it off, onto me. That's a cold rude awakening. -- CAPSLOCK–Preventing Login Since 1980. |

That way, Shamrock might knock the closed mug onto you, but you would be spared the ice water treatment. MaryL |

I wake up during the night parched sometimes and can empty the one I use. I'm starting to think about shutting them out at night but that would be hard for them to adjust to. This video is hysterical. The one with the cat reaching under the closed door and boinging the door stop cracks me up but it sure would be an annoying noise to wake up to. My door stopper thing is on the wall, though, not the door. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvJ3TGx0Kxo -- CAPSLOCK–Preventing Login Since 1980. |

I bet it was quite a shock. did he scarper (run off) as soon as he'd done it or did he think that's a good way to get you up? Judith He sat there looking at me as if he were quite proud of himself. But I got back at him today. I put a piece of aluminum foil about 12" square under it with the sides curling upwards. Worked like a charm. -- CAPSLOCK–Preventing Login Since 1980. |

Dot likes to sleep on the headboard on warm days. In bed, I can see her tail and dangly pink and violet toebeans above me. I don't put anything on that shelf that I think she might knock onto my face. http://home.comcast.net/~takayuki9z/..._headboard.jpg |

Persia is not a climb-up-on-stuff cat. I sleep with a lot of pillows. (No idea why.) She occasionally climbs up on a pillow above my head. From that vantage point she can snooze comfortably. Then reach down and touch me. Or comb my hair with her teeth. Jill |

I have been sleeping on my back a lot lately, but Rita likes to snuggle up to my front, when I'm laying on my side. If there's no front (she can't sleep on top of me, it's like a mountain), she'll get up to the head of the bed, and turn around, then *flop* down ON my face, then slide down until she's comfortably laying down, mashed against the side of my face.
Good thing I have a CPAP, or I'd not be able to breathe. Jane - owned and operated by the Princess Rita |
