And the Moon

Well my master plan worked beautifully. As I reported yesterday the changing of the sunrise has thrown me off my efforts to wake Mommy. Admittedly, I've been late a few times, and in an effort to over compensate, early a few times too. I've even been caught off guard and been awakened by the hated noisy box.

The other night I was sitting on the bathroom floor, waiting for the sun, when I noticed - the Moon. Sometime in the night, Mommy had kicked off her covers, exposing a section of lily white tush that actually glowed in the moonlight. I was mesmerized.

Of course I've touched the butt before, but perhaps it was the coolness of the tiles, and my desire for a refill of my water, that lead me to my next thought - what if I touched the celestial body with my paw, my cold paw. No, better yet, my cold, damp paw.

I gripped the cool porcelain (I think a paw held in front of the AC vent would work well here too), and waited. When I was adequately chilled, I stuck my paw in the water bowl and headed off for - a Moon landing.

I made a stealthily approach, hoping she wouldn't turn or change the cover arrangement. I sat down, lifted my paw, and suddenly, I felt a bit guilty. I gave a warning meow, to give her an opportunity to awaken at my first request (okay, I whispered it, but I did do it). No response. I laid my cold damp paw upon the Moon. One small step for Fin, one giant leap for catkind.

Now kitties, here is where the danger comes - you need to leap back, you're going need to be at a safe distance. Prepare your most innocent face, you're going to need to deny any intentional wrong doing. You might want to cover your ears too, with the dry paw of course.

  3. OHMYYGAWD. Our human woke today at the unacceptable hour of four a.m. With little else to do at that hour, she turned on the computer... and she met FIN. Now having had a fullsome laugh she will certainly NOT be able to return to bed or get back to sleep. This was tooooooo funny.

  7. Hi Max! So glad you approve, I know you have the same struggles with The Woman.

    Huffle - You'll probably need to wait a bit so she forgets. I know you have a very innocent look.

    Zoolatry - Hi so nice to meet you. Sorry I ruined your morning plans but glad you had a good laugh.

    Eric & Flynn & Gandolf & Grayson - You can tag team, she'll never know who was the guilty party.

    Parker - She actually flew into a sitting position, snuggles were out of the question that morning.

  8. Hi Fin! Mom is still laughing, but she gave me the warning look that suggested that I not get any ideas.

  9. Oh, Fin, that was a brilliant idea! My mom laughed but then remembered that she tosses off covers too... I will remember your plan! And I know where all of the a/c vents are too!

  11. That is the best idea I've ever heard for waking a bean. I must try it. I have a feeling your mommy might start sleeping with one eye open from now on.

  13. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Genius! I think this might work well on my dad. Usually I just sit on his pillow and lick his head until he can't stand it any longer, but this would work well too!

  14. Sweet Praline - Maybe if you wait awhile she'll forget she read it?

    Hi Willow, so nice to meet you. Good Kitty!

    Thanks Lux and Mickey.

    Grrreta - Let's just say she is wakeful as soon as she feels me jump on the bed.

    Hi Millie, thanks for stopping by. I'm sure I will be enjoying yours too.

  15. Oh Fin! What a brilliant idea...hmmm, we'd need to stick our cold, clammy paw inside mom's pajama shorts but it should still work. Tho mom's purrty easy to wake up anyway, we just think it's fun to make her jump...hehehe

  18. You are one funny cat!!!! My SS says I shouldn't get any ideas.

    Oh, oh! We haven't been introduced, have we? I am Momo, a long haired geriatric cat who lolls around the garden all day. I have just re-joined the CB after a long break when my SS was away "surveying" in the desert of northwestern China. Come and visit me in my spring garden!

  19. LOVED the technique, Fin! Well done!! I have seen that same moon here but always waited for it to turn as I like to land the full bladder. The moon as a target, brilliant.
