So rather than walking down the hallway to his waterbowl, pounces on yours truly. Literally. All 13 pounds of him. I must have felt him walking up the bed, because I opened my bleary eyes just in time to see a black blob coming down on me from a height of about 18".
I lay there for about a minute. Shock. Confused. Finally, I decide, "Well, I'm awake. I may as well do what I do every time I wake up at 3 in the morning." So I go to the bathroom, and there is Paris, sitting on the sink, waiting for me.
Purrrrrrr.....A purr, a prance, and a paw at the sink bowl. Awww...Isn't he just so cute. Not.

Hmmm...it was sort of this last night.
both of my cats love to drink from the bathroom faucet, but their methods of waking us is completely different. Tux (the 18 pound maine coone) head butts me with his forehead,usually aiming for my cheekbones or chin, repeatedly and not gently, purring like a maniac all the time. Ike the little (5 pound full grown) rescue kitty who sleeps curled around my head, digs her claws in slightly and starts madly grooming my hair, focusing on the areas where there is not much hair or on my upper forehead. She grooms until it is too painful to stand, at which point I get up, wander in to use the toilet after turning on the water to a trickle in both sinks. By this time both dogs are awake and decide they need to go out- the whole process usually takes about half an hour although lately the cats have been sleeping in to almost 5 am before the circus games begin. It's a good thing that I can always fall asleep after .

I love them all dearly but from time to time a feel a strong temptation to teach them to fly.
