Decisions

At 0445 I made the decision that mom needed her face washed.  I always go for the right side of her forehead first and then, the left side.  She always puts her hand up.  Wakes her up well, I find.  Then, after a while, I stopped...she started back to sleep and I made a sleepy groan and settled on her head and face.  I did leave room for her to breathe. (Otherwise, what good is she)?

We stayed that way until 0520 when she gave up and turned on the light and we started our day.  Oh, she assured me and I know it's true, she loved my warmth, heartbeats, sweet sounds and luscious furs all over her head and face. She would have shooed me off otherwise.  BUT it's not easy to sleep that way she said.  She had to get up at 0530 -otherwise we may indeed have both dropped off.

You are so very helpful, Katie! Every human needs some cat fur stuck to their mouth and in their nose; it's a health regimen!

I especially enjoy it when Rufus the Red curls up behind me in bed, lays across my neck, and paws my nose. Have you tried that, Katie dear?

OK, our mom bean can stop whining now. Sasha always wakes her up at 6 a.m. on the dot by yelling in her face. If he washed it, we thinks she'd jump out of her skin. As you say, Katie, not much use then.

Dearest Katie Isabella,
Sure you LOVE your Mom and we all understand that special kitty devotion to their special human.
It too got waked up rather early with a soft paw from Spooky, below my eye on the side of my cheek... It wakes you up and I got out a little later...
Hugs,
Mariette

My human is kind of glad I don't get that up close and personal when we are sleeping!

You are the best alarm clock ever, Katie!

Your mom doesn’t need an alarm clock with you around, Katie.

Who needs an alarm clock when you're there!

Your "daily Mom maintenance" is, I'm sure, something she is used to by now - you are taking care of her in the sweetest way. Even if she'd sometimes RATHER be sound asleep, she truly does appreciate your effort to get her "presentable" for the day ahead! I'm sure of it.....

Hugs, Teddy

Oh Katie, you are my hero! I have taken a leaf out of your book the last few weeks and am keeping mummy company up-close-and-personal through a lot of the night! I am not sure we are entirely on the same page with regard to how up-close I should be! She also mutters a bit about my middle-of-the-night acrobatics on the bed - but it is so bouncy!! Anyway I am full of admiration for your alarm clock capabilities! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’ve had more than a few nights like that…

0520 is late enough. I mean - what is she trying to do - sleep ALL DAY??? You are the cuddliest, KI.

Love and licks,
Cupcake

I wouldn't like having my face washed at 4.45am

If you ask me, that was the purrfect time to make a purrfect decision.

Hmmm ... washing where you lay before you do? Makes sense to us. You never know where those humans have been.
