Do you ever wish you had a mute or pause button?

At 4 AM is not the time to scratch in the litter box for 20 mins. and not cover ANYTHING. I swear today Shadow irritated me just a BIT

. She went poopies and again, scratched for forever around the poopies but did not cover it up. She woke me up with her antics and then she proceeds to leave. "OKAY, good now I can go back to sleep." OH NO, then she goes back in to dig some more AROUND the poopies. ARGH #*$&*#&#(!!!

THEN, Callie was hungry a bit earlier than usual and cries her little heart out at 6:30 AM for food. Shadow joins in to wake me up by scratching at stuff on the floor, such as an empty box with some tape on it. "MUTE BUTTON!!! PAUSE BUTTON!!!" was all I could think.

AND then when I finally got up, Callie cries all the way from the bedroom, down the hall, through the living room and into the kitchen. MEOW MEOW MEOW...and I know she is not starving as she is a chubb-a-muffin.

Look at that belly. She looks Jabba the Huttish.

I found a night light cut the scratching time down in the litterbox. Seemed that when he could easily see what he was doing there was less problems. Also, I put a kibble dish just outside the bedroom door - in that path to the litterbox - so while in a early morning potty run he'd discover food and not wake me at 4:00 A.M. asking if it's time to get up.

Sometimes early in the morning I'd hear some scratching in the litterbox, clinking of the dry food in the dish and then he'd return to bed, snuggle up to me and go back to sleep. It worked!

Oh yeah, but my mute button is for the meowing. Sonny could have made the meow mix commercial and then some. He likes the sound of his own voice. What's worse is I'm moving his food dish up two floors so he has to learn where it is. I'm moving it from the table in the basement to my room. He's been giving me grief and ignoring me since I came home from school for the summer.

I don't need it - I never can hear...but I'll get my pause button to pause them and shoot the cutest pictures!

(some matrix cats..)

and to add mute button if a neighbor complains! ...not yet.

Sometimes it seems that one or the other of mine is 'gardening' in the box. Digging for gold or China!

They dig in the box, then hop out, and stick their heads back in and scratch some more. Guess it has to covered up to a certain level or has to be mounded a special way.

Who knows with cats????
