Alma is the most amazing, lovable, and low maintenance cat I have ever lived with. She isn't needy, she feeds her pet snake, she doesn't demand food at particular times, and she doesn't even need a litter box. And best of all - she causes me NO allergic twinges whatsoever.

She is quite possibly the perfect cat. Cuddly, lovable, personable, low-maintenance, and all-around wonderful.

Except in the early mornings, when we let her sleep with us...

This video might as well have been made about Alma in the mornings:

Alma wants us up in the morning. Not to feed her - her dish is usually still full from the day before. But she wants to be walked to her dish, and then for someone to watch her eat. Uh, ok?!!?

Early mornings around here usually involve stumbling out bed zombie-like to watch Alma eat. Either that, or snatching her and tossing her out.

You can only ignore the purring and the squeaking for so long...

It's all about the ritual... the monkey has to put the food in the bowl in the morning.

We're house sitting for my mom right now, which isn't a big deal as we're living with her for the time, but we moved from the guest room (with two closing doors) to her room because her bed is WAY better than the one in the guest room. Unfortunately, her room has only a curtain in the doorway. The cats REALLY miss her (despite constant attention from us) and were both delighted to have someone to annoy pretty much all night long. Just like that cartoon. And yes, you can only ignore the purring and squeaking for so long. Also, Mona the Siamese, has a Voice the way only elderly, old fashioned Siamese can have. There is NO sleeping through that in your ear!

I do love the cats though... and your Alma sounds like a real winner. Got any pictures to upload so we can all admire her properly?

Awww... Isn't she just beautiful-and such a wise little face. Yep, a really special kitty there. :)

Ooohh, pretty black kitty! Sebastian does the paw to the face thing too but we hide the baseball bat. ;)

The "Simons Cat" cartoons are awesome. I love them. And yes, Ashley does a lot of the same types of things to us all the time. No baseball bats around and I am still happy she hasn't learned how to use the other things yet. :)

Hahaha... That cartoon explains perfectly why we don't have a cat yet. :-)
