INTERNATIONAL SIGN THAT IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP: You hear the cat throwing up on the bed next to you.

BEST ALARM CLOCK EVAH.

Your body is up and moving and kicking the cat to the floor while your brain is still in stage 4 delta sleep.

Nope, the brain was dead as it scooped the vomit into the trash and stripped the bed while the cat and the baby laughed.

Alarm clocks don't have to get you awake, they just have to get you up. "Awake" comes much later.

Are your baby and cat co-conspirators?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I think they just riff off each other.

The advanced mode engages when one learns to differentiate through sleep between cats barfing on vital and non-vital surfaces. Advanced mode cat alarm barf-clock starts by hacking up a hairball in the kitchen, and when your brain ahs classified the threat level and made a split decision to continue sleeping and clean later, there will be a five-minute repeat. On the pillow. Right next to your face.
Of course, advanced cat-barf-clock forces a body to accomodate to the situation. It's amazing what reaction time for a precise kick by the nearest limb can be while the rest of the body stays asleep. I've sadly not been able to duplicate it while awake.

Yeah, I have that. But this was Defcon 1. You know. Puke next to my head. Bastaches.

Been there, yess. Although Cleo is at least nice enough to jump down and do the actual puking on the floor. She's very considerate that way.

[dorothy1901]

Comparatively speaking, your cat is a saint.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I used to have a cat who would perch on things and vomit on them, like the back of the sofa, so that I got the "waterfall of puke."

[beeej.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, yes. And sometimes, her little head spins 'round and she'll bite you in the ass. ;)

Ewwww.

My cat is fairly good about not doing stuff like that, on my bed anyway.

There was this one episode though when she'd gotten into things she shouldn't eat (she has an extremely sensitive stomach) and essentially sprayed liquid cat diarrhea over my bed. That was.. not pleasant.

Not her fault that time though, she was ill and she'd tried to run to the litter box but it was a case of mind willing but flesh weak.

Fortunately I wasn't in the bed at the time. That would have been an order of magnitude worse.

There is a reason to keep cats though, I mean:

That picture says it all.
