Well, Greg and I are sleep­ing in sep­a­rate bed­rooms because of the addi­tion of extra pil­lows and new posi­tions that have entered my sleep­ing rou­tine. However, this sit­u­a­tion has caused great trauma to the cat. She used to sleep on my side of the bed at the bot­tom and every day around 7:00 she would come up and wake me. It was either to go out or get some food in her dish. She would NEVER, EVER bug Greg. It was always me.

Well, two nights ago she dis­cov­ered me in the other room and decided to sleep with me. That was not a prob­lem because we kept our same rou­tine and at 7:00 she came up and woke me. However, last night was a dif­fer­ent story. She slept with Greg and decided that 5:00 am was a per­fect time to tell me she was hun­gry. She spent a good 20 min­utes paw­ing the sheets, run­ning around the room and finally climb­ing on my head to tell me to get up and feed her. I was not amused. SIDE NOTE: don’t worry, when the baby comes I will be get­ting up to feed it, not rolling over and try­ing to go back to sleep. I just don’t have the same propen­sity to do this for our cat. So, I acted like I was get­ting up, which caused her to run from the room and for me to take the oppor­tu­nity to shut the door. Fortunately, we have a stu­pid cat that doesn’t under­stand the physics of open­ing a door, so I was left alone to peace­fully go back to sleep.

Then at 7:00 this morn­ing, I heard Greg groan and moan and get out of bed 30 min­utes before the alarm goes off. I then heard a meow­ing cat and food hit­ting her bowl. After this I heard the front door open and close, obvi­ously the cat wanted to go out. Greg pro­ceeded to head back to bed after that. So, NOW the cat knows she can bug him for food. HEEHEE. Maybe I will be able to get some more rest in the morn­ing. Although Greg isn’t to happy about this arrange­ment, secretly this makes me kind of happy. At least when the baby comes I won’t be feed­ing every­one in the house.
