A day in the life of my cats

These times are only approximate, they may vary from day to day.

4:30am - The day begins with a good run around the apartment and some wrestling. Usually involving some mess that requires Meldoy getting up and cleaning up or saving something. Lately, the book on my bookshelf and my mirror. The hour or so of play also involves some "trick feeding", where I, the instigator, walk out of my room in an effort to make the cats think they are going to get breakfast when really I just want them to stop wrestling on my pillow or making pictures swing on my walls. I walk about 5 feet into the hallway and promptly turn around closing the door behind me.

6:00am - This tactic works for about 5 minutes. At this point, there is nothing else to do but feed the things. So its food time. Which requires my sitting on the floor between the food dishes to ensure they each eat their own food. After the feeding is done I can return to my bed. Last semester, this would have meant I could sleep for a few more hours, this term it'll mean I have about an hour before I have to get up. Its gonna be fun!

6:30am - Time to burn off the food they just ate, with more running and more wrestling, this time with less of it directed at telling me they're hungry. My downstairs neighbors hate me.

7:00am - Naptime.

12:00pm - Time to convince Meldoy that they are hungry again and must be fed. Meldoy does not fall for this. Return to napping.

3:00pm - Random wandering with intervals of mad playing and wrestling and tv watching (Yes, Jack watches TV - sometimes I feel like the horrible babysitter and just put it on something that'll make him leave me alone)

5:30pm - Surely she will feed us now, Alas, they're right. Supper time, involving the same, food seperation tactics as breakfast.

6:00pm - Naptime. Cause eating makes one soooo tired.

9:00pm - Things change right about here, for each cat. Willow will continue to sleep through the evening. Always in the same room as me, but not necessarily too close by. Jack on the other hand will insist on being on me. This ranges from day to day as to wear I am between the hours of 9pm and 1am. If I'm at the computer desk. He will be on my lap, with his head on the laptop keyboard, purring like there's no tomorrow. If I'm on the couch watchin TV, he will be on my shoulder or on my leg or any space inbetween. If I'm in my room studying, the same applies, except there is a book available usually in this room. Not only does he sleep and purr, but he cuddles, he will all over me, kneeding and purring and headbutting me until he is convinced I'm convinced he really likes me and then will finally settle down in the most unsual of positions and decide to stay there and should you move, well don't you dare move because he will do the whole process over again to get settled again.

12:00am - Bedtime feeding. At this point I don't care if they are eating their own food, and I just leave them.

12:30am - Playtime.

2:00am - Bedtime, for all of about 2 to 3 hours and then it starts all over again.
