I love my cats, the furry kids as we call them, but sometimes, it takes all I have not to wring their furry little necks!
That being said, let me clarify. When I first got Jymy, I let her sleep in the bed with me, that was my first mistake, she walked above my head all the time, never got a good nights sleep. In her defense, she has gotten better and will sleep with me and chill. Even after I’ve been gone a week, she will love on me and then relax, maybe sleep on the pillow above my head or in the crook of my body and that’s it.
Peanut is another story all together. She has to be by my side at all times, after I’ve been away, like I was last week, she needs to be touching me every moment, it’s been crazy! If I pet her with one hand, she looks for the other to join in, if I sit on the couch, she’s sitting on me or mewing for me to pet her. If I am laying in bed, she wants to lay with me and if Jymy isn’t in the crook, Peanut is.
The other thing, which happens often and this morning and middle of last night, is that she will wake me up because she wants attention. Really? You sleep 22 hours a day, let me have a few! It started last night about four am, she was crying and pushing my hand to pet her, then again about five and the last straw was 6:45 this morning, seriously? She was walking on me, pushing my hand to pet her and whining.
I am loathe to admit this, but i jumped out of bed and yelled at both cats kicked them out of the room and tried to go back to sleep. It didn’t help that the phone rang about the same time, what?
Tonight, I came into the bedroom and closed the door, they are going to have to cry it out. I am hoping that they don’t start scratching tonight or too early in the morning! I love them both and I love to snuggle with them, I just need some sleep tonight!
Sweet dreams!
