Lucky is a good girl who sleeps for part of the night between us, and the rest of the night on her bed - which is actually my spare bed. At the moment she is sleeping on my OH's side of the bed as he's away for work She usually has to be gotten up for breakfast in the morning.

Patch, is a different story. He goes to sleep on/ next to my feet (guess who gets the least room on the bed) & god knows what time he wakes up - all i know is he bounces up onto the bed & usually lands on my stomach, at which point i have to pretend to be asleep. Then i have at least a couple of "checks" in the night - with full-on loud purring, to see if i'm awake for cuddles (he rarely does this to my OH), ending up with quiet meowing at 6.30 - which is ignored.

HOWEVER, for some reason, and i think it's cos my OH is away, the past few mornings, both have been up waaay before the alarm & this morning i've had a cat playfight under the bed. I really could do with a proper lie in, waking up late so i can at least feel refreshed.

& before anyone suggests, i can't close the bedroom door as i live close to an A road so it's too noisy to sleep with the windows open (i'm at the front) so we have to have the door open to get any air through.

sorry for the minor rant - can you tell i'm tired.
