Me: Kitten from heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell. You've been watching Simon's Cat, haven't you? Little beast...

[Kitten gets fed. I write.]
Fin.
Nice of her not to play with the wool. NOT nice of her to wake up poor human! ;-)
ReplyDeletehmm this sounds very familiar. all you're missing is the part where you take the kittens toy from him/her and put it in your nightstand, then wake up shortly thereafter with the night stand drawer open and toys strewn across you on the bed. And a very self satisfied kitten with an I-told-you-so look on her/his face.
ReplyDeleteYour kitten's brother owns me. He does the jingle toy thing about 4am. I've locked him out of my room at night. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThey're not dumb are they, these cats.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not dumb!
ReplyDeleteBut wait 'til you have children and get to change smelly nappies at 4am before you think a playful kitten is a problem.

haha, having a furry baby is such good preparation for having a human baby! adorable :-)
