Bamboozled

Every night, we go through the same routine: we follow mom "upstairs" and watch her get ready for 'beddie bye'. Ah take the opportunity to groom mahself along with Pipi... (well, that is if she isn't rolling awl over the floor, taunting me.)

There are thymes when it begins to look like mom might even let us sleep with her. Ah always jump up on her bed with that in mand.. Ah make mahself comfortable and hope for the best. There are uther thymes when Ah can tell she's intent to close that door so Ah don't even fuss about it, Ah take mah post outsade the door. Pipi is the last to leave.

But you know, when it begins to look like we're gonna linger? Laike mom's gonna let us lounge on the bed a little longer? Ah get hopeful. And then she comes over to me, walking around the bed behand me as Ah'm so comfortable in awl mah glory, and she starts to whisper to me: "It's time to go to "beddie bye" now, you know.. 'Cmon now.." And awl the while she does that, she strokes me and hugs me.

Well, what the HALE! Ah start to flap mah tail impatiently up and FLAP! down against [the mattress] becauze naw, damn it! Ah don't wanna jump down right about naw. And what peeses me off most of awl is the fact that she's tryin' to pull the wool over mah eyes and make it look like she looooves me so muuuch... When awl she really wants to do is get me owt of the room.

And so, mah tail flaps ever more furiously as Ah reckon thees fact. But Ah stand mah ground, Ah do. Ah only finally get up when she begins to trah to lift me and then Ah realize it's .. game over pretty muuch.

Might as well git up naw and jump down - Ah look over at Pipi on the way out who's usually layin' under the chair. And then she sees me, gets up, and catches up with me and we both walk out together, side-bah-side.


[Ah have sleep problems and just cannot be woken up by the cats - Ah wake up as it is at least once a night... ]
