Furry Alarm, the Joy of Pet Sitting

My two previous posts have been about the crisis in housing and health that my kids are going through. I had three of their fur babies as house guests yesterday and overnight. Being cats, they are nearly impossible to contain, and curious about everything. Princess, my cat, does not seem to object to Winnie, the six month old short haired male. She just watches him. However, she hisses strongly at the fuzzy, furry, bouncy baby kitties. Princess has a great sense of time, and calls Bob and I to go to bed at night, and then in the morning makes certain we are up by five, whether it is a work day or not. My son gets up at four thirty, four days a week. Winnie made sure to come find us at 4:30 and tell us it was time to get up. I guess a cat's gotta do what a cat's gotta do. If you want to read why I am baby sitting pets, check out my continuing crisis post.

That's cute. I've never heard of cats knowing exactly what time to wake you. Probably because I never keep to a set schedule so my cats have no idea when I'm getting up. Even though I'm working I go in at different times each day so I still never get up at the same time.

I do not think we have ever had this issue before. Princess just started this with calling us to go to bed. Probably because my sister had such a routine.

I am not sure I would appreciate the cat at 4:30, that is awful early.

I was awake at 3:30, anxious about getting stuff done, so it really was not a problem.

@mom210 At the time I posted this I was very stressed over moving and could not sleep well. Hubby has an alarm that goes off at five so he can prepare for his work day. It is optional if I get up or not.
