Anybody want two cats, cheap?
You'll never have to buy an alarm clock again...x(
Seriously whats up with wanting to be petted at 4:45, 5:15, 5:40 am and THEN letting me sleep through the first 35 minutes of my alarm clock?! :banghead:

1. FYI: there is this thing, it's like a swinging wall that is attached to the entrance of your room...
Use it!!!

5. Dude. You know what happens if I do that?
Here's a example: MEOW MEOW *BANG* *BANG* Scratch Scratch Scratch. BANG BANG BANG! MEOOOOOOOW!!! MEOOWWW!!! WHAM!--oh and CREEEAK..as they can open the door if its not shut tight!
First, I will not get any sleep as they will wail all night, then they will destroy carpet as they scratch under the wall..Then they literally hurl themselves at the door. And they have on occasion opened a door that wasn't shut tight. Closed doors are a major trauma for them. :eyes:

Besides, its nice to have something warm cuddling up next to me during the night..I think you can appreciate that, no? :evilgrin:

29. One of my cats literally run into the door when I go near it.
Sometimes my wife goes to bed before me with the bedroom door closed. If the cat wants to get in, she will wait for me to approach the door. She will run at the door, and doesn't always stop in time. :nuke: My wife asks me what's going on out there.

Oh, and the bedroom door is near the bathroom, so this can happen a few time in a night.

14. Pi Guy has that effect on people.
DU Lounge Rule #11 - if you see ANYTHING posted by 3.14158675309 - aka Pi Guy - put any and all beverages safely away.

That is all.

This message comes to you from someone who has experienced the Pi Guy's antics for herself. ;)

12. You obviously know nothing about cats. They can not tolerate
a closed door to a room they want to be in. Even if they don't want to be in the room the minute the door is closed, they have to be in there. Get it?

18. I got two also. They don't bug me when I sleep, so I sleep like a baby.
One of them actually waits until I wake up to get on the bed.

15. heh.
I'm used to be woken up once at night (usually around 1am-2am) by their antics..But last night was particularly umm..active. I think maybe its cause I went to sleep early before they got their evening crazies out...:crazy:

22. I found it helped a little to feed them when I go to bed. Doesn't stop the
"I miss mommy" visits, but it cuts down on the wailing, yowling, and sitting on your face and tickling your nostrils with their fur.

about 6 times last night, until about 4am I think. Hard to say because the power was out so no clock.

38. I've tried that.
You know what the little buggers do? They knock it off the nightstand where I keep it and ROLL it under the bed. I'm not about to get out of bed and look around in the dark for it. Little evil genius fuzzy bastids!x(

44. By the time they would get through pre-quarantine...
...I might actually be in their neighborhood. Of course, if and when I get up there, and if I can find someplace other than a no-pets hellhole in which to live, I'll be looking...

45. nah, my one cat does a fine enought job making sure I rarely get a full night's sleep
Between her love of giving herself a bath while on my bed, her flying leaps onto the bed, and the morning purrs and licking of my forehead, I'll never be late for anything, ever.
