confucius say: woman who has cat, hates pussy

my cat wakes me up during the night.

she jumps onto my head, curls up like a furry donut and purrs on my ear.

she knows that every single door in my apartment is loose in the jamb, so she walks from door to door and pushes them to make them rattle....until i get out of bed to let her out ( or in as the case may be) once she sees i'm out of bed she runs to my pillow and curls up falling instantly asleep.

i can't sleep on my pillow if she steps on it. i've tried but all i can see behind my closed eyelids are her little paws in the litter box, scratch - scratch - scratching up bacteria and feces......then i have to get up, wash my face and my hair, change my pillow case and my pajama shirt....and...you get the idea.

yesterday i got so fed up with Cat, that i spent a good fifteen minutes chasing her around...then i put her in her Kitty Travel Case, put a blanket on the top ( this is becuase she knows how to open it...i don't know how she does this with no opposable thumbs but she's sharp as Satan) put her in a closet, shut the door and went to sleep....

it would have been a peaceful night except that i kept waking up to press my ear against the closet door to make sure she wasn't crying.....

(sigh)
