Bella and Pepper, two peas in a pod.

Today we’re featuring the wake up tactic from the human’s point of view since the cat in question doesn’t seem to be up to emailing his own strategy.

Denise Dochnahl, slave to Pepper and Bella, writes:

“My cat is too lazy to type you an e-mail message, so I’ll share his wake-up tactic with you… every morning the alarm goes off at 6:00 a.m. At 6:00 AND 30 SECONDS, Pepper (that’s his name) starts meowing and kneading (WITH claws) on my back, leg, arm, whatever he can get to that may ensure he causes pain. If I have not gotten the hell up (his words, not mine), thrown the dog outside (his words, not mine) and filled his bowl full of scrumptious-ness (his words, not mine), then dear Pepper is forced to relocate to kneading in my hair, causing knots and tangles. This position also allows him to move closer and closer to my scalp, causing the most pain of all… which he finds very effective, because the minute he gets close to my noggin, I GET THE HELL UP and do what he says! Much to my chagrin, it works every time.”

It sounds like the woofer, Bella, is like Pugsley. They never have to do anything but they reap the benefits! Thanks, Denise, for sharing!
