Cat in space

Tinkerbell, one of our cats is a lovey dovey cat. Some nights though she just wants attention - NOW! It's usually around 3 am. We have tried to teach her that she can sleep at our feet. That's not good enough for Tink. She wants right by our faces. I push her down, Ken pushes her down. She just sneeks back up. I've taken to pushing her off the bed when she doesn't listen and stay at our feet. This past week I pushed her off and she landed on Buster. Buster jumped up, Harley jumped up and there were three sets of paws scrinching across the hardwood floor - Tink in the lead, Harley a close second and Buster taking up the rear. It took about 15 minutes for them to settle down again.

You'd think she'd learn but nooooooooo, she was right back at it the next night. So off the foot of the bed she went - twice. By now I've had it! I want to s-l-e-e-p! Tink got in my face this time. So I pushed her off the side of the bed. Hey, I was NOT awake enough to think. We heard a delayed THUNK against the dresser. Ken woke up enough to say "Cats in space!" We both had the mental image of Tink - all four paws outstretched and flying though space. It was funny at 3 am. Tink was not hurt and she's getting the message - sleep at our feet or become "cats in space". (I keep hearing the duh duh duh duhhh in my head.)
