4 a.m. Wake-Up Call

[prechrswife]

My husband and I were both sleeping soundly when we were awakened by the most pitiful cat sounds you have ever heard. We had not heard any of ours make noises like this before--lots of yowling and howling. Anyway, we were afraid someone was hurt, even though we hadn't heard any fighting or anything fall. We also knew it was either Saphirah or Samson; Chloe's voice is totally different. My husband jumped up to check and see what was going on. He found Samson on the back of the couch in the den. The big orange cat from across the street had come calling and was on our front porch. Our determination--Samson was chewing her out for daring to come into his territory.:D

awwww he was protecting you most efficiently from the bad cat who was daring to come anywhere near his family. I hope you rewarded such courage with a yummy treat!!:D :D

He's a good watch cat when it is an animal, but not so good for people. When someone comes to the door, he runs toward the door growling. If it is my husband or me, he turns from growling to greeting. If it is anyone else that comes in the door, he turns tail, runs , and hides under the bed.:D

And you are dressed,

It's a LOONNNNNNNGGGGG story.;)

I thought my Lucky was the only one that did that! If the door bell rings, he growls and runs away. He will eventually come out if he recognizes the voices, otherwise he needs to be coaxed out!

But your right, if it is me or my husband walking through the door, all 3 are there waiting for us!!

:eek: Oh my!!

Actually it is pretty funny to read about. Samson the watchkitty!!:D Dylan did this very thing only once and it scared us quickly out of bed!! Same story - a wandering kitty was in HIS yard. He stood on the top of the sofa and stared out - all poofed up and growling for long afterwards.

Good boy Samson:D :D
