And its not funny anymore.
My
cat sleeps in my room ... except when she needs to go out in the middle of the night to find water or some other important
thing, like a
twist-tie she left under the pool table.
To get my
attention to tell me that she needs to go out, she usually stands on my
head. Or near it, and
meows.
To get back in the room she either pathetically
claws at the door with her declawed front feet (I didn't do it, I got her
second-hand), or she just meows.
Last night, after going
in and
out of the room about
seven times, she needed to go out once again.
I heard a
meow at the door signaling me to
sleepily walk to to door and open it. When I opened it, rather than come quietly inside like
she has done thousands of times, she
looked up at me,
meowed, then
ran down the hallway.
My cat ding dong ditched me.
Pissed off I went back to sleep. About 15 minutes later -- just enough time to get back to
sleep with the
rising sun in my eyes, she meowed at the door again.
Once again, when I opened the door, she
looked up,
meowed, and
bolted away from me. I was so
annoyed, I thought of chasing her down and throwing her out the
back door to fight the
big evil world alone with just her back claws.
But I decided against it.
I guess a cat with enough
personality to ding dong ditch their
human is worth keeping around.
