cat in the closet.....

ok, so i was slumbering peacefully when the familiar sounds were heard.....a faint scratching that built up to a mad clawing......and this meant only one thing....that my spouse had shut the closet door after the cat bedded down for the night in her secret hidey-hole.....and now she wanted out.....oy.....to drag oneself from a warm cozy spot .....and then to do battle with the cat.....who's usual trick is to bolt into the bedroom proper so she can sleep near to her people this is a feline who would sleep up in your face if she could.....one of my bestest and most recent naps involved waking up to find the cat asleep on my chest nestled under my chin......and so last night in a half-asleep stupor i somehow managed to free her from the closet and usher her on out the door.......and return to bed......only to hear voices coming from the back room situated below the bed......which meant only one thing....that the television had turned itself on.......gentle readers......i can manage to sleep through television noise just fine......especially when the television turning itself on thing happens frequently enough as to not suspect prowlers.......our theory is either that the neighbors garage-door opener triggers the turn-on.....or that lowflying planes somehow signal it......or that internal programming timers are playing havoc with our aging television set........regardless......i didn't bother to get up to drag my sorry body all the way downstairs to turn it back off........final score..cat (1), television set (0)
