I have mentioned before a little bit about our nighttime routine.<\/p>\n
Things at our house are usually pretty ritualistic. \u00a0You know, put the dog out for the last time. \u00a0Make sure the cats are out for the night. \u00a0Brush teeth. \u00a0Fluff pillows (I must have my pillows fluffed just right). \u00a0That sort of stuff.<\/p>\n
But, the weather is changing. \u00a0The nights are getting pretty chilly and that means there are going to be some inevitable changed in our evening routine.<\/p>\n
I believe I have told you before about how the cats, if they are still in the house during the night…well, in the middle of the night, they will wake up MFH (My Favorite Husband) to be let out. \u00a0They hardly ever wake me up. \u00a0They prefer to disturb his slumber to be let outdoors.<\/p>\n
They usually just want to be let out to do their business. \u00a0They have a litter box in the laundry area but would rather *Pop* than use a littler box. \u00a0I mean, that is what the great outdoors is for, right!?!<\/p>\n
Castro (the white kitty) likes to be outdoors all night. \u00a0He eats a whole bunch about 8:30 pm and then goes to the door. \u00a0He is ready for his nighttime frivolities.<\/p>\n
Kali (the black and caramel colored calico kitty~and Catstro’s mama) enjoys outdoors only during the summer months. \u00a0She is not a fan of cold weather and prefers to sleep indoors when it is cold.<\/p>\n
Kali, is fussy about where she sleeps at night during the cold winter months. \u00a0She wants to sleep on our bed, between my legs. \u00a0Thank you very much.<\/p>\n
She will not sleep on the sofa in the living room. \u00a0She will not sleep on a fuzzy blanket in another part of our bedroom. \u00a0She will not sleep on a kitty bed. \u00a0She will only sleep on our bed between my legs.<\/p>\n
End. Of. Discussion.<\/p>\n
She is getting pretty sly, that cat. See, if MFH catches her curled up between my legs, all ready to sleep, before he has hopped into bed, he will unceremoniously grab her and toss her outdoors.<\/p>\n
Again…End. Of. Discussion.<\/p>\n
So, last night, both of us thought that both of the cats were out for the night. \u00a0We went through our nighttime routines and hopped into bed. \u00a0My pillows were fluffed to perfection. MFH had grabbed his tablet (we listen to a program before we fall asleep) and all was well.<\/p>\n
All of a sudden, we heard a faint, “jingle, jingle, jingle…” \u00a0Then plop! \u00a0Up on the bed hopped Kali.<\/p>\n
That sneaky kitty had been hiding under the bed until we were all snuggled under the covers. \u00a0She then proceeded to walk across the bed and curled up between my legs. \u00a0“Prrrr! \u00a0Prrr!! \u00a0Prrrr!!!” \u00a0She was a content kitty.<\/p>\n
MFH, was NOT as content as Kali, however. \u00a0He was sputtering.<\/p>\n
“I’m not going to get a good solid night sleep, now!” \u00a0He stated. \u00a0“That cat is going to wake me up at 2:30 in the morning and demand to be let out!” \u00a0He continued.<\/p>\n
It was just too funny! \u00a0That cat had outwitted us both. \u00a0His indignation made it all the more funny.<\/p>\n
I just lay on my side of the bed and laughed and laughed and laughed!!! \u00a0I realize that it probably was not the appropriate response to the situation, but it really was too funny!<\/p>\n
This morning, I did not ask MFH what time Kali demanded to be put out. \u00a0I think, in this case, ignorance is bliss.<\/p>\n
