This LOLcat is so perfect for this morning. One of my furbabies was a total pain in the ass last night. Rocket, my big kitty, wouldn't let me sleep and I'll be paying the price today. Something I can't afford while on deadline.
At first I thought it was cute how Rocket woke me up in the middle of the night head butting me and pawing at me. He hadn't done that in a long while. That was Smalls' job.
I gave him lots of love and was rewarded with purring. He even curled around my head the way Smalls used to so I kept rubbing him. I could tell Spirit was asleep on my legs so figured it was time for everyone to close their eyes again. Except when I stopped touching him, he didn't go to sleep himself.
Instead of doing what any good kitty would do and sleeping, he wouldn't leave me alone. At first I wondered if he wasn't feeling well. But he kept purring and didn't mind me touching him all over. I figured maybe he was lonely so gave him more rubs.
This went on for a long time. I'd rub, stop, be told to start again. I finally couldn't keep going. I was so tired. I rolled away from him.
Rocket meowed, not the sweet sound that melts your heart, but that awful I'm hurting/upset/help-me-now one that sends a chill down your spine.
I finally realized something else was going on so I got up, disturbing a sound asleep Spirit in the process. A quick glance at the clock told me it was 4:35 am. So not good.
Rocket darted into the bathroom toward the community food bowl kept in the bathtub so the dog can't get any. The bowl was empty.
Rocket and Yoda get wet food at certain times a day, but Spirit doesn't eat canned food and doesn't eat much at all so I keep a bowl of food out for her. I offered Rocket his dry food, but he would touch it. He kept looking at Spirit's bowl.
I needed sleep so I took it downstairs and filled it. As soon as I placed the bowl back in the tub, Rocket disappeared. He wasn't hungry. He just wanted to make sure there was food for his not-feeling-well sister.
A pain in the ass, yes. But a really sweet one.
