Murky Morning

It is one of those transitional weather days, not raining, not clear, somewhere in between and it could go either way:
00murkymorning

I was sleeping soundly and happily this morning when I heard a very very loud “AAACCCCKKKKKKK” and I jumped out of bed, adrenaline pumping, thinking “Is someone strange in the house?” I listened, didn’t hear anything else, so went to the living room where the Qatteri Cat was lying on the floor. Maybe a blade of grass tickled his throat (I make bowls of grass for him to help digestion; long haired cats get clogs sometimes) or maybe he sneezed, or jumped down from his high perch by the window, I don’t know. I patted him and he followed me back to bed where we both snoozed a little until time to get up.

  2. Cute, hmmm? You’ve caught me by surprise, Abdullah. I’m glad I provided you a change of pace.

  3. Doesn’t matter if it’s kids or cats, that motherly instant awake when they make an unexpected noise sticks around forever, doesn’t it? Happens to me when the dog starts his little dream barking in the middle of the night.

  6. Oh, how many, many times I’ve run around the house in the middle of the night, counting noses, making sure the menagerie is all OK, checking for puddles of cat or dog barf that must have resulted from the noises heard. Amusingly, Gracie has a much more subtle, even graceful (!) sounding “hack-urp” than any of the cats! Cats like more drama…
