The cats always make it a point to annoy me with their sleeping antics. The cats, on the other hand, make it a point to annoy me when I am sleeping.

Usually the cats take turns sleeping with us the bedroom. More often the Chairman as he stays the longer. Mr Brown stays for an hour, gets bored, then sits besides the door waiting to be let out. If he notices that we are not giving him attention (because we are asleep), he jumps to the night stand and starts playing hockey with my keys, my watch, my phone or anything else that he can shove to the floor. If that doesn't work, he jumps to the bed, takes a bite at our toes, jumps back to the door in a flash and act as if nothing happened.

The Chairman, on the other hand, is more subtle but effective. He starts scratching on the bed, then squats as if about to pee. That cat sure knows how to get our attention.
