Wake up Wake up

'D&D' have this .... thing .... they call an alarm clock. Almost every morning it makes this horrible noise until 'D' shuts it off.

After a couple years of this (Okay I'm slow at some things), I realized that this device wakes them up in the morning.

They should use the alarm clock that I use. It's called my belly. It always tells me that it's breakfast time! Never fails. Always wakes me up.

So, lately, when 'D&D' alarm device goes off ..... 'D' will smack it and it grows silent. I've watched him do this a number of times. So I decided to take it upon myself, to make sure he wakes. So I jump upon the bed, inch slowly toward his face so that my whiskers almost touch him, and I MEOW loudly.

That seems to do the trick. I think it may annoy him because he swats at me with his hand (and always miss) and I jump from the bed onto the floor.

I follow him downstairs and go right to my food bowl, where he promply fills it with my breakfast.

Then he grumbles and makes his coffee.

Do I have him trained or what??

Coffee, Tea, Or Me

Well.

When 'D&D' arrive home from work, I usually am 'rolling' around upon the kitchen floor. A few times, not many, I hop up onto the counter near the door and wait for them to enter.

Now, as you can see from the picture, I am sitting next to the Tea Kettle and the Coffee Maker. While the first 'D' love Tea, the second 'D' loves coffee.

Now then .... what do you think they grab first????





A purrrrrfectly handsome kitty always wins out!

Coffee

Coffee. 'D' drinks it every morning, and every evening after work. I watch him pour that black liquid into a mug, add a spoonful of white granular stuff, and some milk. He really enjoys drinking it. I can see the pleasure on his face after each sip. It does appear to improve his moods. When he left the room one day, I decided to see what all the fuss way about. So I slinked over to his coffee mug, and lap at it. YUCK! That stuff is horrible! It taste like dirt. And believe you me I have tasted dirt before! How can this stuff improve someone's mood? I eat food off of the floor sometimes, and that taste a heck of a lot better than this 'coffee'.

Actually, I caughed after I tasted it. Maybe that's why they call it coffee.

Well, I really shouldn't complain or moan about what he drinks. I don't think he would like to eat my 9 Lives cat food. It's probably taste like dirt to him too.

I understand that coffee comes from a bean. Isn't a bean a vegetable? So is 'D' drinking a vegetable drink each day? Does it have vitamins? Oh, it's so confusing.

It's like a tomato. A tomato isn't a vegetable, it's a fruit.
And a coffee bean isn't a vegetable, it's a ............ heck I don't know what it is.
It grows in the dirt. Maybe that's why it tastes like dirt?

Now, you may ask yourself, where is this leading too?

Well, like most things in the humans world - it leads to absolutely nothing.

I'm just having a kitty thought about coffee.
