Wake up call, thy name is cat.

At about 5:30 this morning my cats (or in actuality it was only one of my cats) decided that it needed to be in my room and proceeded to meow and scratch at my door. I was not in a mood to get up out of my cozy and warm bed to open said door so I decided to ignore him. However, after several minutes of him scratching at the door he began to scratch at the carpet, as if burrowing under the door was a plausible option. Since there is already a sizable hole in my carpet (which my mother is not pleased about) I decided I had to let him in before he caused more damage. Now I thought that he just wanted to be in my room and that he would curl up at the end of my bed and I would be allowed to return to my peaceful slumber. Obviously my cat had other ideas in mind. He jumped all over my bed trying to find a comfortable spot and then when he had located one, he only stayed there for a few brief moments before he was up prancing around again. Then he jumped up onto my headboard, then leaped to my dresser knocking items over in the process, then he finished the circuit by returning to the bed landing on my back. After doing this two more times I picked him up and tossed him off the bed. (Softly of course......) He stayed off the bed, but then he spent a few minutes trying to get the closet door to open. What he wanted in my closet I don't know. By this time it is nearing 6 and I have yet to fall back asleep. I try unsuccessfully for another half hour or so before I finally gave up and turned to my computer. I don't have to be up until 9:30, so I still have two hours in which to fill. Hence this early morning blog.

I kicked the cat out of my room 45 minutes ago and he is once again outside my door meowing in his 'pleading' meow. I don't know if I should let him in a second time. He is a bit of a terror this morning. And I would bet that he really just wants me to get up and feed him, or maybe clean his litter box and I wish to do neither of those things this early. Although at the same time, his meow is such an annoying sound I may just let him in to get him to stop. It's a dilemma really.
