[QUOTE=Mama Tiger] Of course, she waits until we’re just about asleep at night to chase the Invisible Being around the bedroom, so I guess she wins anyway. [/QUOTE] She keeps the Invisible Being in hiding, does she not? She is doing you a great service. Might be Medusa or something. ---

[QUOTE=Mama Tiger] Am I the only one whose cat never, _ever_ wants her to get out of bed in the morning? Emily has dry food available at all times, and only gets her gushy food at 6 p.m. each day (and it better be on time!), so when it’s time to get up, instead of waking me up and being annoying, she snuggles up even closer to me and purrs and _purrs_ and _purrs_. It’s truly cruel of her. [/QUOTE] Nope, you’re not the only one. My last cat would curl up on my hip or in the small of my back. Between the cold room, the comforter and the cat, it would get awefully hard to get up. ---

My fuzzy owner feels that the best way to wake me up in the morning whenever he deems appropriate is to knock things off the night stand one by one until it is empty. If I haven’t responded before my water bottle, alarm clock, carmex, etc have all hit the ground he then climbs upon the night stand and yowls until I pick him up and put him in the bed with me and pet him for a few minutes. ---

I got even with my own [furry overlord](http://www.geocities.com/aruvqann/jezzi.jpg) She has had the sniffles for the past 2 weeks, dainty litle sneezes that make us call her Snot Rocket. I just came down with a cold yesterday, anad was woken up at about 0200 this morning by an enormous sneeze that covered her in snot. It was bad enough we had to give her a bath. \ so not only did she get snotted, but bathed as well 😃 ---

Penny has dry food available to her all the time. It seems that after she sleeps, she completly forgets just about everything. So I have to get up and when I get to the hallway that leads to the kitchen, she runs into to it like “Hey, look at this narrow room! What’s down here?” Then we get to the kitchen, she sees the food bowl and she is all “Hey! A bowl of cat food! Is it OK if I just eat this?” [Wake up and feed me!](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a145/StevenBarrett11238/Penny.jpg) ---

No. Get up at 7 and then throw your cat in the shower. Then you win. ---
