Hated Noisy Box - 2004-2010

One of the things I truly dislike, is the Hated Noisy Box. It lives on the bedstand next to where Mom sleeps. Waking Mom is one of my most challenging and yet satisfying jobs duties. When that evil thing comes to life unexpectedly, with music or worse yet - that loud buzzing, it startles Mom and it ruins my carefully laid plans.

It mocks me. It vexes me.

My feline mojo is thrown off for the rest of the day. Some days, I'll admit I wake Mom way before the time it comes to life, just so I don't have to worry. Other days I want a challenge, and I like to cut it as close as possible. I like to live on the edge sometimes. It's risky, but there are times when you need to take a risk... When you just have to say... what the fluff.

It's something I tell Mom all the time when she gets timid... leap and the kitchen counter will appear, but I digress.

The Hated Noisy Box died last night. Mom was trying to set it and the alarm button broke off. Darn! So now it's all on my furry shoulders. It's a big job but I am totally up to the task.

  1. I am first? Wow!!!

    You are always so witty, SIF. What the fluff indeed. Leap and the kitchen counter will disappear. Yes, and fall flat on the face. But I digress.

    Psst, don't wake the mom up. She might just sleep in and stay home with you for the day.

  2. I have completely given up on Glogirly and her pathetic excuse for an alarm clock. Oh wait... that's supposed to be me. I guess her unemployment has conditioned me to sleep-in most mornings.

    Sure, Gloman is up before dawn, but all he makes in the morning is coffee. Ick.

    Sleep. I take it whenever I can get it.

    mew!

  12. How did yo manage to weaken the knob on that thing just enough so it would break? Very clever indeed.

  13. Our Mom uses her cell phone alarm and she has it set for 3 different times and 3 different sounds with elevating levels. We need your expertise over here, Fin!

  14. I think Simba might be on to something...you did you do that Fin?

  15. There is nothing worse than having your feline mojo thrown off!

    So Fin...we know you are up to the task. As for me...mom is on her own. I have no intention of having anything to do with waking my mom up in the morning. I leave that task to my momma Ellie.

  17. Fin that is so funny. We have a noise box too and Mom gets up early and goes in the other room and forgets to turn that darn noise box off, and so then it goes off and wakes us up. So Fin I am so glad your noise box broke and now you are in charge of the waking up in the morning. We know you will do a great job.

  18. Well, Fin, it is going to be a big job to be sure your mom is up in time, but we know you can do it!

  19. I know exactly what you mean. Our humans bought a new noisy box which isn't noisy at all. Instead it lights up slowly and after a while makes a tiny little sound. It took me a while to figure it out, but now I'm on to it and have successfully woken them up before it went into action for several days now :-D

  20. your mom is lucky to have you around to wake her up. my boys try to - - Petey even bites my checks ! but i usually do a great job of burying my face deep under the pillows and ignore them and the noisey box!

  21. I don't think moms like the noisy-box either. They usually slap the top of it when it makes noises, and that shuts it up. For a few minutes anyway.

  22. Those darn boxes...our Mommy keeps hers in a drawer because she really doesn't need it except for a few times a year when she has to make 100% sure she's up on time. Usuallly she will set it for PM and the thing naturally doesn't go off. That's one of the many reasons we're here!

  23. That is a very important job you have now that the noisy box has broken. We are sure you will think up ever more ingenious ways to wake your mum up.

    ReplyDelete
  24. wow, how did your mommy break the noisy box?? we have one too and I'd love to do her a favor and break it.

    we like MoMo's idea. start waking her up late so she has to stay home and love on you! but, then she won't have as many green papers to buy you fun toys and stuff. wow, what a delima. we know you'll do a great job waking her up, when you choose to do it will certainly be for the best.

  25. Fin dear, you do realize replacing the alarm will mean you have to wake up early in the morning...EVERY morning. Are you ready to give up the luxury of a cozy, warm quilt? Are you ready to haul your furry butt out just to wake your human? I think not.

    Better you should point out the ads for a new clock radio, then go back to bed.

  26. We never cease to wonder how human people are ruled by all these machines you can't even eat.

  27. Hi!
    You may probably be very curious to know how one can manage to receive high yields on investments.
    There is no need to invest much at first.
    You may begin to get income with a sum that usually goes
    for daily food, that's 20-100 dollars.
    I have been participating in one project for several years,
    and I'm ready to share my secrets at my blog.

    Please visit my pages and send me private message to get the info.

    P.S. I make 1000-2000 per daily now.

  28. I don't mind that noise of a morning - but the garbage trucks driving past - that is a different matter!

  29. You can do it Fin! Wake them up every day.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I have no doubt that you can handle that job Fin!

  31. We like the weekends, when we can wake up, go back to sleep, wake up...not a squawk to be heard!
