Cats. Why did it have to be cats?

Cazaril, my Maine Coon/Tabby rescue cat, has been seriously annoyed with me lately. I think it's all the travel - he really doesn't like being left home with just Nimue for company.

So he's been trying to get me up several times a night. To play with him. (How I know this is, I made the mistake of gettng up once, because I thought I'd forgotten to feed him. I hadn't. He ran into the living room and stood over the feather toy expectantly. At 3 a.m. Darned cat. Yes, I know it was dumb to encourage
