Does Your Alarm Clock Have Fur?

[wolf63]

Pasta has been posting good cat pictures lately.


This is a scene that most cat slaves will understand.


There is no snooze button on a furry alarm!

Wolfie....I am, as you know, in my caravan at present, in a very sunny and warm Cornwall )!)

Willy acts as a foolproof alarm clock, as he uses my face as a trampoline at about 06:00 most mornings ! I have tried turning over and telling him to go forth and multiply but it doesn't work....he will not take no for an answer !

[wolf63]

jno - that one is cute!

fluffy - I find being Frankie licking the inside of my ear almost impossible to ignore. Merlin just sits and stares and stares at me.

mikey - I suppose that your little guy is about the size of a cat (Frankie is about 5.5kg). Not sure what the solution is to your problem. Is he a good guard dog? Little dogs scare me a bit - especially Yorkshire Wolfhounds and Jack Russells/the spawn of the devil.

Have you ever tried telling a GSD that its's only 04.30 and raining and he doesn't really want to go for a walk.

[ummmm]

Mine are usually quite good. Sometimes they don't even get up when we do. Lazy gits.

[catswhiskas]

I get up at 8 and my cat is often still in his bed, I have to persuade him to go out for a pre breakfast stroll !

[mccfluff]

she likes to wash my hair in the morning so i hide under the duvet but my other alarm clock got messed up and didn't go off so i assumed she was just starting early!

[sandyRoe]

Both fur and a piercing bark. When I'm told it's time to get up there's little alternative but to obey.

[wolf63]

Paddy and Sandy

Both my dogs were part German Shepherds, apart from emergencies the would just snooze until I was up and ready to go out.

Ummmm and Catswhiskas

If you want I can get Frankie and Merlin to send them more details on how to be really annoying and still look cute and innocent.

Fluffy

Frankie combs my hair with his claws. It is a little creepy. He has many methods of getting me up and into feeding mode. Merlin stares or stomps around the bed, on the bed and on top of me.

I have left the felines to my brother in my will. He won't last one day.

[paddywak]

It was mainly my own fault wolfie,I'm normaly up and about by 05.30 especially in the summer,so Max got used to being out early and you know what the hairy monsters are like once they get into a habit.

[pastafreak]

Oh dear...I'm a meanie. I keep my bedroom door closed,I deny entrance to noisey furbags! I'm gonna be punished...I just know it...:O
Actually....Amber is OK...except for very loud purring. It's dopey Caspar who's the problem. His howling would wake the dead...and he loves slobbering and chewing on my hair. Do I have any choice but to keep the door closed to both?

[Butterbun]

Can't agree with you wolfie, I had a jack Russell and he was the most protective, lovable, endearing thing.

[wolf63]

Butterbun
The nasty ones are in the minority. I am wary of them after a few unpleasant encounters.

Pasta

Casper sounds dopey enough to be related to Princess Merlin. She scares herself!!

Paddy

Our first dog (1980) was a GSD/Bullmastiff. My mum got him from a friend.

We knew nothing about dogs and it showed. He was like Scooby Doo. He had the GSD protective streak. I was only a teenager and taking him for a walk was 'fun'. Powerful beast with a very gentle and mischievous temperament.

[Slapshot]

Three cat alarms in our house... wish at least one of the would learn to tell the time, or to go off somewhere else rather than in my ear every morning... ;0)

[Prudie]

I have 2 different cat alarms, one who likes to lick noses, very genteel. the other however is an expert in extending a fully claws-out front leg under the bottom of the duvet in one swift sweeping movement, repeated until a human foot has been suitably stabbed. She's my favourite!

[Tilly2]

Can I be a pain and point out that cats have hair, not fur.

[Prudie]

How do you work that one out Tilly?

[Tilly2]

cat hair, not cat fur. Iffy......wish I hadn't said anything now. :-(

Only one out of five regularly wake my husband (I seem to sleep through it). Our bedroom door is normally closed, but some mornings Henry manages to open the door and comes in and wakes my husband - usually around five in the morning. If Henry can't get in, he sits at our door and yowls and bangs at it until he wakes one of us and he gets fed! The thing is, Henry belongs to Queenie, and she sleeps with her door open so why he doesn't wake her is beyond me!
