Who else's cat goes batshit at bedtime?

[graywarrior]

Mine is skidding across the kitchen floor, running up on the walls, chirping, meowing, taking running dives onto my back as I sit here at my computer.

This goes on every night. He sleeps all damn day, then tortures me when it's time to go to bed. When I get up to look at what he's doing, he stops and stares at me with "what?" on his face.

No wonder I can't wake up in the morning.

1. Fix the cat like you fixed your duck

I'm kidding, of course. My cat gets really talkative at night, too. It's that nocturnal thing.

2. Great idea. Here kitty kitty.

3. Mine is howling at the door, and meowsering all over the house

My other guy is more mellow-he's sitting on the window sill watching the critters in the backyard.

4. That means he's happy!!

It's like a little kid burning off energy - that's what cats do. And they do it at night. Which is why we keep the cats out of our bedroom at night - it's impossible to sleep otherwise. And there have to be two doors between us and the kitties.

5. Mine tore off the lining underneath my box spring and

crawls up to the head of the bed where he hangs inside of the part that is still attached to the frame like a sack. Then he proceeds to talk to me while I'm trying to sleep.

When I don't respond, he crawls out and sits on the night stand and stares at me. If I ignore him, he roams out to the kitchen and finds inkpens to flip around on the kitchen floor making me insane.

He's out to get me.

6. Get him some real bats to play with

They're nocturnal too
