Not Tonight, Honey

Don't give me those big sad eyes, pleading for attention. It won't do you any good tonight.

It's late and I'm tired.

And giving me a massage isn't going to change my mind.... so stop kneading my arm.

I want to sleep. I NEED to sleep!

Get back to the other side of the bed and lay still.

Go on... leave me alone.

Pleeeeze!

Yes, I AM hiding from you under the covers, so that soft neck nuzzling is not going to work either.

I don't want to play. I have to get up in a few hours!

So StopItStopItStopIt!!!!!

Okay, I've had enough. You're just not listening.

You obviously are only concerned with your own pleasure, not mine.

I gave you plenty of warning. So out you go... out of the bedroom!











Damn cat.

Lol! Foxyboy is EXACTLY the same! Drives us mental all night even though we love him...

Jill said...

SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!! I have one cat, Nimue, that every once in awhile wakes me up to pet him by putting his head under my hand. But he's so scared & reclusive all day that it's pretty much the only time I get to pet him, so I go ahead & wake up enough just to pet him.

Canadian flake said...

roflmao...I actually figured this out before I saw the pic...cause I have a cat that is just as bad. She is old and doesn't often want to play...but has it in her head that I should pet her and love her whenever SHE wants...even if it IS 3am..the old fart!!!

I knew it was either a dog or a cat. We share our bed with six little rotten sweet dogs, and the are always snuggling/squirming/nuzzling.

Ann(ie) said...

that is one cute picture! My cat decides to jump up on the window sill and bat at the blinds when I refuse to cuddle. urg. She's such a pain in the butt, but I love her to pieces!

Ann(ie): Ah, yes. The "blinds game". Our youngest cat LOVES to climb in between the slats... geez...

Peggy Sez: You sound like us!

Lotus05: FIVE? Well, I guess I shouldn't complain about three then, should I? You must be a sound sleeper...

Mr. Zig: Ha! Well, if you ask hubby, he would probably tell you that's the way I talk to HIM too! ;)

My kids want a cat sooooo bad. I am glad they can not read blogs.

kat said...

ROFL. I was almost fooled ;o).
Our cats are exactly the same LOL.

Unknown said...

So when I said 'Meow' last night, she got pissed because she thought I was calling her a 'catty bitch' - or words to that effect.

Keith Lodge said...

hahahahaha awwwwwww how cute.
I know a cat that does that and she thinks it will work on me everytime hehehe

Aimeslee Winans said...

Hi, Mo. I'm ashamed to say I've been so remiss that I had to catch up reading from The Shell in the Ear to now, but it was highly enjoyable! Thanks for the great read.

Stacy said...

LOL! Too funny! Pets & men...can live them....can't live without them.....

Well, as I'm sure you know by now...if I had a cat, those would be the only two words I would ever utter!

Maureen said...

Jeff: Oh, sure….

Ed: Not in this house. ;)

Karen Meg: Ha! Thanks!

Oh Mommy: What, no cat? Don’t you want yet another reason to not sleep at night??

Kat: Well, with a name like Kat, no wonder I didn’t fool you!

Iceel: Ha! I think I’m going to leave THAT one alone! Welcome BTW!

Keith & Jo: And I’ll bet her name is Marmite!

Aimeslee: Aw, thanks!

Sogeshirtguy: Sounds like cats all want us to be sleep deprived…it’s some sort of conspiracy, I say.

Stacy: How true, how true!

Momo Fali: Ha!
