I suffer from chronic insomnia and I have to put up with this:

[Skittles]

:(

[Critters2]

1. Have ya noticed how they NEVER have insomnia?!

Unfeeling bastards.

Critters
with three of her own

[dEMOK]

2. Whenever you're tempted to be jealous of domesticated animals...

...remember that they have no use for intellectual pleasures ;)

[Critters2]

3. You say that like it's a bad thing. nt

[dEMOK]

11. Well yeah...

I'd rather be skilled at something, than envied for doing nothing.

;)

[Pushed To The Left]

4. The last couple of nights, I have had a cat actually crawl on top of me!

The next door neighbors don't let their cat inside, but she sleeps here almost every night (she's clawing the chair I'm sitting in right now!) She has developed a habit of crawling on top of me when I'm asleep or half asleep. The problem is, she starts kneeding my bare leg, which isn't always the most comfortable thing! She's a sweetheart, though. I've always been a cat lover.

[Skittles]

13. yeah, Clancy does that too

I tell you in a Texas summer it's the last thing you want - a 16 pound furry black blob laying on you :(

[zanne]

24. I think the neighbor's cat is yours now.

Unless you let a cat inside, you can't really call it a pet. Congratulations, new cat owner!

[Skittles]

29. yes

the poster just needs to rename the cat and be DONE with it! :D

[qnr]

5. Well, at least you're not having to smell your own feet, like they are

:hi:

[Robeson]

6. What a cutie!....

...she/he looks like one of our outdoor cats.

[Skittles]

15. ya, it's one of their endearing traits

they just know how to be so damn cute!!!

[Catshrink]

7. What gets me is that the little monsters sleep all day

and then want to play at night, hunt, attack my toes, or even sleep some more. It just isn't fair.

[Skittles]

12. oh TELL me about it

this little sh** Clancy is like a black blob laying around in various poses; if he takes it any easier I will have to get him stuffed. :o

[zanne]

25. And don't they look innocent...

When they're sleeping?

[BuelahWitch]

8. What's really bad is when they sleep with you and SNORE!

:rofl: :rofl:

Very pretty kitty, btw! :hi:

[Skittles]

16. Clancy's worst habit

he sleeps non-stop, then feels obligated to join me on the bed when *I* amd trying to sleep - and he starts GROOMING HIMSELF. You know the violin-stick pose, where they have their hind leg sticking straight up and they're having a lick fest? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. :grr:

[TommyO]

31. That would be Corky!

He decides to chase the other kitties off of the bed, plop himself on the pillow next to my head and then expose himself in such undignified ways!

[Maineiac]

9. Cat is dreaming

as soon as I drive the human crazy and they take it away, the place is mine!!!!! All mine!!!!

[Skittles]

20. HOWDY Maineac!

I see you're getting in the swing of things on the DU! YEE HAW!!! :hi:

[Maine-ah]

27. hey, welcome to DU!

check out the Maine forum if you haven't yet. Oh, and don't let the BS going on there scare you off. :hi: happy to have another Maine'ah on board!:bounce:

[Skittles]

30. oh dear

I took that online quiz recently, where I had to type the names of all 50 states in 10 mins or less - I got 49 and racked my brain but didn't get......Maine......I am so sorry! :o

[KT2000]

10. My cat cured insomnia

She could tell when I could not go to sleep and she would go to the top of my pillow, rest her chin on my head and purr.
A soft cat purr bouncing around your skull leaves no room for any complete thoughts - and sleep follows.
It was the most wonderful thing in the world!

[Skittles]

18. your cat should teach mine that trick

Clancy just tries to sleep draped around my head, like a Russion hat :o

[KT2000]

33. LOL

yeah - cats.

[Guava Jelly]

14. What an asshole cat just rubbing it in your face

:mad:
:hi:

[Skittles]

17. I should just kick his black hairy ass

yes INDEED :hi:

[Guava Jelly]

19. I got three of the little bastids sleeping right now

I think i'll wake them up :evilgrin:
:7

[Skittles]

22. I've done that before

gotten so agitated that I couldn't sleep I've hollered GET THE F*** UP!!! YOU DON'T EVEN WORK!!! :7

[Swamp Rat]

21. That's a pretty kitty!

To see him makes me miss my Onyx, who passed away over a decade ago. :cry:

[Skittles]

23. they take a piece of our hearts with us

they do

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. i want my cats life too.

[Skittles]

28. you know, lioness

that's supposedly how you can tell how well you treat your pets - if you'd like their life - yes. People like us, we spoil our fur babies. :)

[ganeshji]

32. I took Lord Krishna to the vet last week when he was feeling puky.

He asked me if the cat was sleeping more than usual. I told him that he sleeps about 20 hours a day now, so how should I tell?
