Insane Cats Lead To Energy Drinks
I didn’t get to sleep last night until well after 1:30 AM. Picasso (our newest cat) sometimes goes insane at night, and decides to jump on top of every surface that he can find. It’s an hour of endlessly hearing “Tha-THUMP” every 30 to 45 seconds. He mainly does it in the kitchen for some reason. The kitchen has hard wood floors, and they carry the thumping sound into our bedroom quite well.
About 1:15, I finally got tired of it, and decided to chase him into the bedroom. I wanted to close him into the bedroom, so that he would stop being an idiot. He knows that he’s not supposed to be on kitchen counters (or anything else in the kitchen,) and soon as I get up, he darts away from the kitchen and runs off and hides.
Last night, I managed to corner him, and capture him. As soon as I caught him, he started to wail and scream like I was killing him. I did managed to scruff him with my right hand, and grab his back legs with my left hand. It was a fight and a struggle, but I wasn’t going to let him win. I was really pissed, and he’s lucky that I didn’t throw him outside to feed the local coyotes.
Once I got him into the bedroom, he wigged out, and I’m not sure why. I held him down until he calmed down because I didn’t want him to learn that fighting would get him loose from my grasp. Once he settled down, I turned him loose. He quickly ran under the bed to hide, and I managed to crawl back into bed to try to get some sleep.
The fight with the cat got a little bit of adrenaline pumping through my system, so it took me a while to calm down enough to get to sleep. The last that I looked at the clock, it was 1:34 AM. I’m not sure how much longer after that it was before I finally got to sleep. Once I was asleep, I was out until the morning. However, the morning came much too soon, so I’m sucking down an energy drink right now in an effort to wake myself up.
