My house is almost 100 years old, and so I hear my cat when he’s coming up the stairs, and I get robbed of the extra 60s before he just starts meowing. He’s an old man now, 15 or so, and so he spends the nights inside now, and he’s not a fan. He will come upstairs anytime between 1145 and 230 in the morning and just start meowing, loudly, and I have a wife and two kids and I need them all to stay asleep, so poor Bruce Willis gets locked in the basement.
Sometimes it’s right as I turn my light off when I’m done reading, and I lay my head on my pillow, he just rolls in. Sometimes I’m fast asleep and he does it. But five nights a week, at least, he needs to wake me up, and he goes to the backdoor, so the farthest place from my spot in bed, because he thinks he’s going outside, and then I pick him up and put him in the basement. He will never learn.
I sometimes wonder if attributing every weird noise to the cat is dangerous. I’ll hear something and think “ah, it’s just the cat” and go back to sleep without checking.
The worst is when you think “ah, it’s just the cat”, but then you see them sleeping nearby. So now I have to assume it’s just a little ghost cat, so I can go right back to sleep
10x worse with cats. What the fuck have you gotten into…
