The cats have awakened me from a pleasant slumber with their excessively noisy running around the house. I can ignore the cats having a late-night game of tag right up until the moment I hear cats running around the house and literally –LITERALLY– bouncing off the walls. I assure you, the sound of a twenty pound cat moving far faster than any twenty pound cat should move skidding from the living room into the hall and smacking into the wall could quite possibly wake the dead†. The first house-shaking thud was followed by two quieter thuds caused by Ronin’s littler sisters, and then all I could hear was the sound of three cats running full bore around and around the house and all the various and sundry noises that creates.
Had they, perhaps, not come barreling into the bedroom and used the bed as a trampoline, I might have been too sleepy and tired to bother getting up to make the cats chill out. But no … the combined total of forty-five pounds of multiple cats had to carry the game of high-speed tag into the bedroom and onto the bed. So, yeah, I’m slightly awake now. Damn cats!
Though writing this is making me sleepy, so that’s a good thing. Time to go back to bed and take advantage of having bored myself to sleep with one of my own blog posts.
