Only the Cat Benefited

I’m back into strange sleep patterns again. For the past several nights, I have retired at about 11:00 p.m. only to awaken at 2:00 a.m. Since yesterday was a long and exhausting day, I figured that tonight I would sleep all night. Nope. I awakened at 2:30 a.m.

It’s actually a good thing that I did, because at about 3:00 I heard scratching at my front door. Alex! I’d let him out about 10:30 last night and, when half an hour later, I called him to come in, he didn’t respond. It seems, like a certain female of my acquaintance, Alex was out catting around until 3:00 a.m.

At the moment the cat whose servant I am is enjoying a 3:00 a.m. breakfast. I am going back to bed.

  3. Kylz—I have the link changed and it works! Sleep is an off and on thing for me. It isn’t that I don’t sleep; the problem is WHEN I sleep.

    Vishwa—Alex himself could fill a book or two! Me? I am on volume 19 of my personal journal. I hope my kids read it after my demise. I accept the tag: “What eight qualities do I look for in a perfect lover?” Actually, reading my journal would problem list eight or more. I just hope that none of my former lovers ever read it!

    Mreddie—Yes, the cat has enslaved me! Actually, I have spoiled Alex, just as I spoiled the dogs whose master (I think) I have been—Boo Boo, Tippy, Bruno, Jennifer Foxy Blair XXIII, and Muffin—and all of the women I have loved.

  5. Lawbrat—I suppose my “job” is to do whatever Prince Alex demands if me. Otherwise, he may attack me with his claws!

  7. Milkmaid—This strange pattern of sleep I am experiencing is something I can’t understand or explain. It happened again last night. Yesterday I had an early morning engagement and had to be out of the house by 7:00 a.m. Thus, I was up earlier than usual and by 11:00 p.m., when I retired, I was bushed! Yet, as has been my habit, I awakened three hours later and remained awake until 4:00 a.m. There is something about this 2:00 – 4:00 a.m. time slot that refuses to allow me to sleep.

    As for being controlled by a demanding pussy—Alex isn’t the only pussy that attempts to control me. He is, however, the only cat.
