The kidcats aren't pleased with the time change [View all]

Their usual feeding time is 6 but I shift it to 7 during the Winter so that there's less time between their breakfast and the outdoor kidcat's, who start getting impatient at daybreak. I don't eat until everyone else is fed so this shortens the time between waking up and drinking coffee. I should buy an automatic coffee maker with a timer, instead of using a French Press.

But I digress. Just before 5, Madoc pawed me into wakefulness. When I didn't budge, he tunneled beneath the comforter and curled up next to me. Then Arthur arrived. He sat on my ribs for a few minutes. When I didn't move, he did but Gryff took his place. Gryff weighs a bit more than Arthur. Sian joined Gryff. Madoc became impatient and exited the bedding so that he could repeatedly paw at the covers and POUNCE on my feet.

Carys just stood by and let the others work on getting me out of bed.

I endured this for 30 minutes and finally gave up. I dished out their food and got the kittens breakfast mixed.

When I walked up to the sliding glass door, all 3 were staring at me and I realized if that door had been open, they would have joined the fray. And Bronwyn likes to 'nibble'.

Now I get an hour to straighten up the bed, check the Aldi ad, check the news, post on DU, get dressed and mix up the outdoor kidcats food because they can be impatient. It's foggy, this morning, so maybe they will sleep in.
