All times are noted as time since having gone to bed.
4:00 – THUMP. Blob of fat lands on feet. Shit. They’re out. A kick — polite, but firm — and back to bed.
4:03.10 – “Meow.” Go away.
4:03.30 – THUMP. He’s trying to be cute, or something. KICK — harder. But still polite. What was I dreaming about again?
4:04 – THUMP. KICK. Hmmm. Maybe he wants food.
4:05 – SNAP! OWWW! He’s like a walking capacitor. Stupid, hairy animals.
4:06 – Moistness on face. “GET… AWAY, STINKY!” I hear blob hit the ground and run off a short distance.
4:07 – I can hear him rubbing himself on the fabric chair close to my head. He’s recharging.
4:08 – Tail-to-foot contact again. *SNAP! Dammit. I’ll bet you could see the spark that time.
4:09 – Yet another sudden transfer of electrons. “Fucking cat!” Yes, I said that out loud.
4:10 – THUMP. Back on the couch. Doesn’t he know I’m allergic to him? Harder kick, and he’s back on the ground.
4:11 – I’m wide awake now.
4:16 – I’ve learned that if I blow really hard into Stinky’s face, he’ll keep his distance for about 20 seconds. Unfortunately, he keeps forgetting that.
4:18 – sigh. I might as well get up.
I love cats.

* Ai-jen might quietly remark, “nerd city!” if she heard me compare stinky to a capacitor. Tony and I get that a lot from her when we’re together.
