Smart Cat!!

Our cat, Bug, has a lot of issues with congestion. It doesn't take much to set him off and when he gets sick he comes and lays by my pillow to let me know. At his worst he keeps me awake snorting and snuffling and wheezing in my ear. He does this because he knows it's is I who will get his medicine and give it to him to help relieve the congestion. Also, when he is really bad, as he was tuesday night, I'll pet him and groom him to give him comfort until he falls asleep. This, of course, takes away from my sleep! Well, last night he was having a good night. He still slept by my pillow, but with no obvious snorts and snuffles and wheezes. The medications are finally working. But, he really enjoyed the middle of the night grooming sessions, so last night when I rolled over he got in my face and started pushing on my hand. I told him to go back to sleep, so what does he do? He looks right at me and starts trying to snort and snuffle so I'll feel sorry for him and pet and groom him! He did this twice during the night and when he realized it wasn't going to work sighed and went back to sleep. He is just too smart! What a faker!

If you haven't seen it for a while, you should watch the Disney movie, "The Cat from Outer Space". That was the first thing I thought of when I read this.

Mr Bug is a crafty feline who plays us all like the proverbial fiddle. What is there to say?
