6. Mine just stands next to my head and howls.

He is relentless.

7. If the nose pat fails to elicit the required response, mine moves on licking my nose.

If that fails to raise me, and my magical thumbs from my slumber to open the can, the next step is biting my nose. Ouch!

I'm not sure what it is about our noses that make them such a target of our cat's attention. But it is what it is.

8. Mine prefer to knock things...

...off desk and dresser tops.

9. My cat alarm clock sucks!

It always goes off much earlier than the time I set it for.

10. If Ralph is friendly

It is usually before I'm awake. I get poked in the face just like that.

11. I also have a "kitty alarm system" for my door.

I am severely hearing-impaired, so I can't tell if someone knocks or rings the doorbell. But no matter where I am in the apartment, the kitties are nearby, and they all perk up their ears and hurry to the front door whenever there is someone there.
