Kitties!
Scouty here.
I'm experiencing my Annual Cold Weather Quandry: where to sleep at night.
All summer long I snooze away the dark hours in glorious, uninterrupted solitude on the Catio, but with the advent of chilly weather I have to relocate indoors...an area inhabited by the Lumbering Apes, and their bothersome grabby hands.
One of my favorite spots is on Mommy's pillow, however, she insists on using it too. Such a bother. Daddy's bed is out, even though my beloved Tiny Johnson sleeps there--Daddy flails wildly in his sleep and again, it's bothersome.
The cat tree by the back door is nice, but the light switch is there and the peeps, with their paltry night vision, insist on using when they go out onto the Catio. This bothers me and I have to leave.
I generally end up sprawled out dead to the world and snoring cautiously resting on the sofa, where Mommy studiously avoids looking at me when she gets home from work*. It's tough, I tell you, getting in my 22 hours a day!
Will it be summer again soon?
Happy Friday!

*At least until he gets up and requests a piece of chicken jerky--he sure wants attention then!
Wow, you has got some gorgeous eyes!
ReplyDeleteYes, Scouty, this is indeed serious! Where to sleep ? We generally have our own spots and I am the brave one who stays near Äiti's flaying feet.
ReplyDeleteAnd your eyes, well, they are just so very handsome. And that's a mancat to mancat compliment.
Scouty, you have a tough life!
ReplyDeleteScouty - to quote a little orphan, "it's a hard knock life." I hope you survive!
ReplyDeleteCan you fit unner the couch?
ReplyDeleteMy gosh, you DO have a dilemma on your paws. Don't know what to tell you. You sure you can't get control of that pillow?
ReplyDeletePurrs,
Nissy
The problems us kittehz face is never-ending, I tell you. Maybe you should just convince your peeps to put a heater on the catio. We've talked our peeps into an outdoor heater. MOL!
ReplyDeleteLookin georgeous as ever! You better be cautious or you might get eaten up your so good lookin!
ReplyDeleteHere is an idea: Why don't you put those apes in a cage for say 22 hours a day, so you won't be bothered by them so much!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice snooze cutie!
Poor baby, hope you manage to get your 22 hours of sleep. :)
ReplyDeleteBut ornj cats are the bestest!
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty serious, Scouty. We hope that winter is short so you can return to your regularly scheduled uninterrupted snoozing.
ReplyDeleteHumans don't realise all the work we do for them and obviously it makes us feel very tired and as we try to gather a few moments to close our eyes they start to talk to us and tell us all about "their day"!!
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Poor Scouty!
ReplyDeleteWe feel for you, orange boy.
Sympathetic purrs,
the kitty brats
Gee Scout...oogles of dilemmas for you! I like what Nerissa says; take 100% control of that pillow!
ReplyDeleteDang, you may just have to sleep around and about everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI'm all for banning winter.
ReplyDeleteScouty, you are so handsome! We hope you find a place to sleep uninterrupted by grabby hands!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is an indepth study on the best sleeping spots! We are most impressed with your efforts.
ReplyDeleteJust demand that your humans install more cozy places for you to sleep that meet with your approval!

Mind you, if your Mom slept on the couch...problem solved :)
ReplyDeleteI can see you have big problems there Scouty. I sleep on top of my mum and that stops her moving around. Of course that could be too dangerous a choice for you.
ReplyDeleteThat's a tough one Scouty. We wish you the best during the chilly nights.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it's hard to find a warm yet quiet place to sleep. Hang in there. Not so soon, but there will be summer coming for you :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, you HAVE to sleep somewhere where you can wake an ape up for nighttime feeding.
ReplyDeleteOh Scouty, we sure hope you find somewhere to sleep besides that flailing arms Dad. There must be somewhere warm to curl up. We all get in the bed with the Mom and squash her. You all have a good evening.
ReplyDeleteAh yes...where to sleeps...my favorite spot too is Mommy's pillow. Me goes back when she's asleep. Its tough to gets a decent beauty sleep.

Scouty! You are so handsome! Us lady cats are going ga ga over here. We hope your good-looking self finds a suitable sleeping spot soon. We can sympathize with your situation. We have the same problem!
ReplyDeleteScouty, how 'bout UTB? At least for part of the time. Make sure you get right in the middle. No grabby hands can bother you there.
ReplyDeleteWow, we had no idea! No more complaining about lack of sleepy spaces for us! Purrs....
ReplyDeletePoor Scouty! Perhaps the mom bean should give up her pillow for you and sleep on the couch instead, MOL
ReplyDeleteSasha, Sami, & Saku
well when you figure it out, could you let us know.. because we want to know :)
ReplyDeleteOh Scouty weez so sorry yous hav such a hawd time findin' an alone spot. Weez can't magin' sleepin' all by owselves, weez wanna snuggle up as tight as weez pawsibly can to mommy. MOL Here's wishin' yous a speedy winter and quick warm up. MOL
ReplyDeleteLuv ya'

What a conundrum you have. Six of us just pile in the humans' bed and let them work around us. Astrid stays downstair by herself, and Giulietta usually sleeps on the bench in the bathroom. Misty May has dips on Mom's pillow. She could care less if Mom also wants to use it. Hope you find your purrfect winter snoozing spot.

ReplyDeleteSeriouslies. The humans have NO idea what kind of first world kitty problems we endure. On a DAILY BASIS, mind you.
ReplyDeleteThat is a major dilemma here too that is making Marty a bit crabby. Hope he gets it figured out too!
