For some reason, our Human slept in today. The other Human got up and went to work, but ours stayed in bed until late in the morning.
Now we know the value of sleep. We spend enough time ourselves in our beds, especially as we get older. But the Humans aren't supposed to sleep in. When we want something, we want to know that the Human is there to respond immediately.
So we both sat outside his room and sang to him. All morning. Loudly. Finally, he stuck his head outside the door and said "what?" in that irritated voice he sometimes has. Of course, we told him what we expected. For some reason, he didn't get it, and went back into his room.
But he made one mistake. He left the bedroom door open.
We waited until he was asleep again, and then jumped on his bed and began licking his face. He hates it when we do that.
Score one for the cats.

Nice one! I can sure relate to this. Often times I rise early in the morning and am feeling so energized and rarin' to go. All I want to do is have my breakfast early so that I can get outside as soon as I can and check out what's gone on and who's been around during the night.
Maggie is the quiet one and is content to wait patiently. Me, I can pace and sing for a looong time! The humans really dislike this so early in the morning. If this fails to work, knocking over a picture frame on a table next to the window, usually has one of them up and ready to attend to my needs.

Oh yes. . .knocking over something works really well! Preferably something that makes a lot of noise.
We used to be outside cats. . .in our younger days. Our Human lived in the country, and we would run in the fields and play all day long. By the time the Human would come home, we would be waiting on the front porch. . .ready to go inside.
These days, we live in the city, so we stay inside. But we like it that way. . .lots of toys to play with and birds to tease through the windows. And of course, we sit in the Human's lap as much as possible when he is home.

Oh, playing in the fields and chasing after chipmunks is my favourite thing to do these days! We live in the country with mom and dad. I think I'd go out of my mind if I couldn't go outside -- So much to see and smell and the selection of birds around here is fantastic, but I'm only allowed to watch them. I'm going on seven now and starting to do a lot more napping than I used to, so who knows, I might end up having to trade in my adventurous ways and become an indoor cat one day too.

Yep! - I can relate to this one - my cat Janit is forever disrupting my sleep I have written her a letter on the subject but still she persists
