The little victories

[yendi]

Victoria, the youngest and most psychotic cat in the house, has developed the annoying habit of waking me at ungodly hours of the night by biting my toes and/or poking my thigh with her claws. Covers do not deter her, nor do socks or long PJ pants (although it only became cool enough to attempt the latter recently). Nor, alas, does throwing her out of the bed, and a water bottle just isn't great when the spray ends up on your sheets.

So I'm happy to report that today, she waited until 5:30 to attack me, which meant that instead of losing sleep in the middle of the night, I merely got up half an hour before my alarm went off anyway.

Yeah, it's a small victory, but I'll take it.

I'm also happy to report that, unlike La Gringa, I have not had my copy of Undertow attacked by any of the cats.

you need a dog to sleep at your feet and guard your toes

My cats do that to my husband. The only solution we've come up with is to kick them out of the room and close the door on them. The down side to that is then they then sit outside of the door and cry to be let back in.
