it’s always been a battle. i like the cats to sleep with us (my logic: who wouldn’t want two fluffy, purring balls of fur on your feet as you dream the night away?) and chris prefers them to sleep outside of our room (chris’ logic: who wants a cat butt to plop on your face when you’re sleeping?)
last night, i won. the cats were in. and i paid the price. at 3:04 am, i was awakened by a loud sneeze, and then realized my face was covered in cold cat snot.
Hebrews 5:22~Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
yeah, i’ll remember that next time.
GRRRRRROOOOOOOSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahahaahhahahahahahaha…
hahahahahahahahahaha….
That’s just funny.
My wife and I actually have the SAME discussion most nights. And it’s really the same reasoning, I swear her cat enjoys nothing more than plopping her butt on my face during the middle of the night.
HAHAHA – GREAT response (bible verse). Hilarious!!!
There is one good thing about cats, though:
They uh…ummmm….oh, wait…it’s…..Hmmm…what was it again….oh yeah, NOTHING ;-)
At least it didn’t pee on your bed. We got rid of our cat for that reason. Luckily we weren’t IN the bed at the time, but it was still terrible.
HA!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is awesome, and yet really sad…my husband and I decided a LONG LONG time ago that the cat will NOT be allowed in our room at night…we shut the door before we go to bed to keep that very same thing from happening. (The kids even shut their doors…)
I’ve never been a fan. Eventually Becca kicked the cat out because he loved sleeping on the top of her head. The look like a cat hat.
Cats are awesome..
Great to sleep with.. except for snot
But on those romantic nights they are a terrible audience…………………………………… LOL :)
I was seriously considering getting a cat. Now I am seriously not getting a cat!
Thank you for an incredible laugh!!! Love the Bible connection!!!
They do have an intense stare. One of ours tends to jump in the shower with me. Actually in the shower. It’s creepy. But I’m usually too out of it in the mornings to do anything about it. Let the little guy get wet.
They still are the best when you’re sick…and their little purrs….oh…just so cute!!!
In the Beginning…Now the serpent was more subtle than any of the creatures in the garden…so he made a cat.
Touche
my cat sneezes in triplets! and it’s usually at night. very near me.
YUCK! Cats are not my friends. I am terribly allergic…but my mom had a couple as soon as I moved out. One of them peed on my head while I was laying in bed…the other would come up while you were sleeping and lay on your chest and just stare and breathe on you….creepy cats!
When we finally have our lunch date… we will have to trade humorous cat stories. I’ve got a million. I usually hold on to them because I feel like I bore people when I get rolling on them!
I hate our cat. Of course, my wife doesn’t buy it. Especially when I say it while Chief Underfoot is sitting on my chest purring contentedly while forcing me to lean way back in my recliner so he can be comfortable. His favorite game is to wake me up at 4AM for a game of fetch the stuffed pink mousy. Guess who gets to do the fetching? I hate that cat. (grin)
ha!
Ha ha ha – and I thought it was the women who knew everything and were always right?
I used to wake up with my cats face an inch from my face, her tongue half sticking out, eyes cross eyed zoomed on my nose, with what looked to be drool leaking from her hairy chin. When I came to, I noticed an unpleasant wet spot on my t-shirt and painful red scratches in and around my sternum. What had my cat been doing? (…nevermind i don’t want to know.)
If you ever have children, those cats will become outside dwellers faster than you can say, “fend for yourselves”. (True story about what happened to my cat.) Although, being outside in the wild has taught my cat the value of her years of princess-ship — she’s a far better fighter, she hunts all kinds of wildlife around our house, she’s learned the flying squirrel technique of jumping off of roofs and tall trees, she actually buries her own crap now, and she’s far less b*tchy… it could be a good thing being outside.
Reason # 928327263024387472302-384732092730523572098735 not to ever own a cat. I’m not sure what that little hypen in the middle of my number means, but it’s a lot!
I feel like a bit of a hypocrite with all the cat chiding going on. We have a huge Rottweiler that only sleeps in the bed if I’m gone. But, our cat has free reign to sleep anywhere. I do often find myself grabbing him by the scruff and removing his butt from my face. But the purring and kneading of the hair is nice.
I must have the cat sleep in the bed or I can’t get to sleep. He curls up next to my face. Places a paw here or there on my nose or cheek, then wraps his front paws around my wrist to hold my hand. I’m not kidding. Then he rests his purring little face on mine. What do you want from a 15 yr old overweight blind diabetic cat?
I have two cats and they are the most AWESOME creatures! We do not, however, let them sleep with us at night. One cat is very shy and doesn’t like to sleep with us anyway. The other is a NUT and has to be put in “his room” at night. Otherwise he wrecks all sorts of havoc. If we let him in with us, he walks on us all night! If we just close him out of our room, he beats the door with his paws! What a kook!!
I’ve always had cats. I don’t think they’re creepy. They are very low maintenance and like any creature all have different personalities.
