Andy was up all night.
He was doing kitty things.
Like walking on sleepng Doug to try to get him up to feed the kitty!
It worked! Fed and purring, it’s time for a cat nap.
=(^+^)=
Andy has a grooming session at 3:30 this afternoon. Get ready for a shaved kitty! No, but he will be radically different looking till he regrows his coat.
=(^+^)=
My alarm clock – Andy – hops up on my bed when he’s ready for his breakfast. That usually is much earlier than I am ready to get up, of course, so I try to ignore him. He then kneads my pillow, a hair’s breadth away from the top of my head. Purring all the while, he then uses a tactic he knows proves I’m awake: he walks over to where I can reach him with my hand and I “scritch” him.
Having revealed I’m awake, Andy lets me pet and “scritch” him till he hops off the bed to meet me at the cat tree just outside the bedroom door. That is for more “scritches” and pets till he’s had his fill of that and he’s ready for kitty food.
But…first we play the “no mousies” game where I have to open all the kitchen cabinet doors for Andy’s mousie patrol. There never are any, but Andy waits till I assure him that’s because he’s the kitty.
After all this, he’s ready for kitty food. He goes into the front room till I put his plate of kitty food down and call his name with a “Andy! Kitty food…and you’re the kitty!” He comes, then, at a gallop.
It’s a wonder I get anything done!
They are creatures of routine. 🙂
Precious shots of Andy there, Doug,
Thanks!
Andy has had a hard morning of waking up Doug for scritches and kitty food. Now he needs his rest! 🙂
LOL! Unfortunately for me, I wake up early now because he’s trained me to.
Ha! So Andy wants his food when he wants it! That sounds familiar … Cute photos!
Yes, and he is very polite in how he asks for it!
That’s adorable! “And you’re the Kitty”!
…just in case he forgets!
It’s so fun that you guys have that routine, Doug! Andy is so cute in the first photo. ❤️
It gets tiresome some days, especially the “mousie” one when I’m fixing a meal, but Andy loves it so I humor him!
You’re a good cat daddy!
One tries to be.
ooh we will welcome the fabulous boy tomorrow…
He’ll be “purrty”, like you, with his slick look!
If there are no mousies, that means the patrol is having an effect!
So Andy would have you think!!
Just like that bloke who drank whisky every night to stop snakes from biting him. Guess what? Not a single bite!
LOL!
All I have to do for breakfast is to empty the dishwasher and make coffee.
Get a cat. LOL! I spoiled Andy and the late Dougy terribly from their kittenhood. What I learned over the years is a cat only needs you to do something they like once and it’s their routine forever. At least if it isn’t water related…
Cats have a way of letting you know what they want. 🙂
Andy certainly does!
