Little Spotted Cat's Mama calls to tell him it's time for his nap. Little Spotted Cat says, "No, no! Meow!" He thinks it's time for play. ...cats don't say no to naps! Little Spotted Cat (who I will CALL Spunky from now on because cats deserve names even when they are stand ins for little humans!) knocks down a flower pot running from his nap. Mama calls again, but he plays with yarn instead and leaves it strung all over the yard. |
He does, and before she can finish telling him he needs to nap--he is asleep. Well, that's realistic.
Like I said, I like this well enough, but kitties sleep 16 hours a day; naps are never very far away.
Today's Tip for Cat Children of Human People (CaCHuPs): Where to nap...in the summer if you are lucky enough to have open windows, it's probably going to be really hot and sticky some times. Find a nice cool table to stretch out on (your humans will probably think it is cute if you push their crap aside...as long as nothing falls off and shatters). In winter it's trickier. Banjo likes to nap on the holes in the floor that blow warm air. That keeps me up. I like to find a human who's not moving and pin them down. That's nice and warm. They are usually so grateful for a kitty in their lap that they will stay put for a long time. If all else fails, Banjo says crawl up under the blanket on the human sleep place. I haven't tried this yet. I am a little afraid of being shmooshed by a Daddy seeking naps...I mean reads. {Daddy Tim editorial reminder: in our house "a read" is often skin to "a nap"}
