Feline Caused Sleep Deprivation

Beloved partner and I had a lovely Christmas which included spoiling our newest member of the family Little Guy. By far is favorite toy was the catnip mouse that beloved found in the local pet store

Come here little boy, would you like some kitty drugs.

Little guy played with the mouse with such glee. Then he discovered how to play fetch with the mouse. I'd throw the mouse into the kitchen, he'd chase after it, put it in his mouth and run back to me. Then I'd tell him what a good boy he was petting him and fawning over him. Then I'd throw it again, he'd bring it back to me, I'd give him attention etc. After a half an hour of doing this, Little Guy and I got tired and went to bed.

Then at 1:00 am in the morning, in a nocturnal fit that only catnip can cause, Little Guy decided he wanted to play fetch. So he got little mousy in his mouth, jumped on the bed and dropped it on my face, waking me out of a sound sleep. I woke with a yelp, waking up beloved partner. She asked what was wrong as I looked all around me. I found Little Guy was inches from my nose, pointing at his toy and meowing.

I told him I wasn't going to play and I put his toy on the floor. He grabbed his toy and jumped on the bed with it and meowed. I put it on the floor, he got it and jumped on the bed. I decided to keep it on the bed. He decided to bat it around the bed. etc. etc. And so it went for the rest of the night into the morning.

Aaaaaah the joys of kitteh parenthood.

Throw it again mommy, throw it again!!!!!
