I've mentioned before that Snowball, our white cat (who would have guessed?), is more clever than she has a right to be, and this morning she repeated one of her tricks.
On work days (i.e. five out of seven) my alarm goes off at six o'clock. If, for any reason, I don't get up immediately (for example it's Saturday), Snowball comes and taps on my cheeks or purrs loudly in my ear, so I don't oversleep.
So, at 6.06 this morning I was awakened by a soft paw on the nose ....... Now, I didn't want to be too late getting up, but neither did I want to be up quite that early. "Ok Snowball, I don't need to be up yet. Give me another hour - that's five past seven".
After which I turned on to my stomach and went back to sleep. And Snowball climbed onto my back and went back to sleep too.
Well, her internal clock was just a fraction out. So it was 61 minutes later - 07:06 - that I heard a soft purr followed by a polite tap on the cheek . Who needs an alarm clock?
