It was my turn last night to sleep with the kitties – Tamsyn did it the first night, Jessica the second – both of whom didn’t get much sleep and turned into major grouches. In an effort to avoid the inevitable fights and irritability that lack of sleep brings I opted to take on the night terrors.
They actually weren’t too bad – they sleep for a few hours, wake up and play for about half an hour then it’s back to sleep again – and the cycle continues through the night. The only problem is they like to play with you during that half hour, and toes are particularly fair game. Still they’re too darn cute to get cross with.
We let them into the main part of the house last night and Phoebe found the window – wasn’t long before little growls were emanating from behind the couch. Investigated – ah… one very puffed up growling kitty and a rather perplexed Gymmie staring back from the other side of the window. Poor Gymmie.
