Clank, clank, clank
Me: "What the...?" Find my glasses, put the light on. Cassie is tapping the metal blinds against the window with her paw. I have no idea how she figured out how to do that.
Cassie: "Murp" Translation: Sorry I woke you, human. But since you are awake now, please open the blind for me so I can watch the early birds out the window. Oh, and open the window for me. Then you can go back to sleep. She hops up on the little dresser next to the bedroom window.

4:50 AM
Cassie: "Aak, aak, aak..." A funny little noise she makes only at this early hour, while she's watching the birds.
