Kept mom up last night!

Cookie on Nutrition - Mon, July 07 2008

Mom knows that when I'm all over her at night, something is wrong in my world. I am the informant of the house and take my job very seriously.

As mom crawled into bed last night, I heard her tell dad that she forgot to check the kitty food bowls to make sure they had food. You know what? She did nothing about it and drifted off to sleep!! Well, I went down to check myself and sure enough, they were empty and I felt that familiar rumble of my tummy. I was hungry.

I went to mom 4 times last night to wake her up. It worked but she still didn't get up to FEED us. I have no idea how Oreo and Pearle can stand this. I pounced on mom, pawed her, paddled on her and meowed real loudly.

FINALLY at 7:30 THIS MORNING, mom came down and looked at our food bowls. YES MOM! THEY'RE EMPTY! Don't even act surprised. Sheesh...

The crisis is over and I really need a nap. Why does she DO this to me?

Beans can be so cruel sometimes.

How COULD she?!! I bet you need a nap, Cookie! Now your sleeping schedule will be all wacky! Harumph! You deserve some extra kitty treats, totally.

I have developed a loud whine that cannot be ignored, for just such situations. I think your mom may need to be reported.

An empty food bowl? I didn't think such things existed. Restrict her snuggling activities. That will teach her!

How can she sleep through your attempts to wake her? You might need to add some tricks to your bag. For example, pawing/knocking at the bedroom/bathroom doors, knocking water bottles off of the dresser, knocking the lamps over, or trying to get into the childproof kitchen cabinets. Desperate times call for desperate measures my friend.

You must develop a hefty door knocking behavior. I can knock any door lound enough to wake the dead!

We've had to snooze all day. Our energy was completely depleted after last night's starvation. Pearle is just now waking up. Poor us. Our mom will not be getting any cuddles for at least a day, maybe two.

Yes, knocking things over off the dresser, banging the wooden window blinds, and generally clomping around are very effective. That's why I don't get to sleep in the bedroom anymore.
