It's all about breakfast!

(I'm feeling amused)

A particular blonde ball of fur named Wolfie:

has resorted to incredibly varied tactics to wake me up at the crack of dawn. So far he has come up with these:

*Standing next to my head and meowing directly (the blunt approach)

*Pawing at the curtains above my head

*Annoying my other cat who is trying to sleep soundly also on my pillow

*Chewing on my fingers if I dare have them outside the covers

*Chewing my hair

*Licking my skin or the covers...whatever is more convenient

*Jumping onto the tall dresser and stretching paws and claws on the wall

*Attempting to open the closet door (my other cat has shown this to him and he still doesn't get it)

*Playing with the decorative rocks in the bathroom

*Scratching on the mirror in the bathroom (think nails down a chalkboard)

During some mornings, he will attempt all of the above until I finally cannot take it any longer and, with no hope of ever falling back to sleep, get out of bed all too early.

So this morning as I lay there before rising I really had an epiphany...my mornings are all about BREAKFAST!

After getting up, I stand tiredly in the kitchen concocting my cat's breakfast, grated carrot and all.

While they are eating, I walk yawning into the garage, slip on my sandals and proceed to feed the squirrels and birds. My favorite squirrel (who I've affectionately named pirate due to his one good eye) comes and greets me every morning. Goddess forbid I am late getting out there because one morning there was a squirrel waiting on the stoop when I opened the door. Mutiny would surely ensue!

After that, is the people breakfast which, gratefully, is a team effort in our house...

Guess I never realized how much my world revolves around preparing food!

Thank goodness for COFFEE!!! ...what's for lunch?

Great blog Mic! You know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day and what better way to start the day than with those you love? Both the 2 and 4 legged variety!

I don't have any animals, but I'm an absolute animal until I've had my 16 ounces of coffee.

Those animals sure do have our number, don't they? My house is similar in the morning, but it's the dog that starts the process. First, the three little whimpers in series, then licking the hand if it's sticking out or....just a little lick on the nose, then nuzzling his nose under my head to get it off the pillow. LOL. You've got to love the animals. I had a cat once that would sit above my head and bop me on the nose.
