    Poor thing. Looks like he’s only getting 15 hours of sleep everyday!

  2. NorbertsMom says:

    This is how I feel every morning when the alarm goes off.

  3. gizmo says:

    I peek through one eye
    To see if you are still there
    Shoo! I need my rest.

    • My Thoughts every morning when Lilac is taping me with her paw to tell me it is time for her first breakfast of the morning!

        That may be where hobbits got the idea….

        Kittyadventures, I know it was a typo (been there, done that many times), but I got a vision of your cat applying duct tape to your face. Considering your screen name, perhaps that isn’t so far-fetched? :-)

    Is it the 80s?
    I’m doing the Safety Dance!

    Awww, Hank is gorgeous! Before he drifts back to dream land, I must just boop his nose very gently. -booooop-

  8. fleurdamour says:

    If I had to guess, I’d say it looks like Hank is sleeping smack in the middle of the kitchen table.

    • Meaghan says:

      Well, of course; cats traditionally sleep in the most inconvenient places.

      • emmberrann says:

        Inconvenient to whom, pray? Cats sleep in what are the most convenient places, and the most comfortable, to them, and whenever they want to. It’s written into their contract, didn’t you know?

    Knowing his name is Hank is enough to make my loff heem. Poor kitteh, expected to wake up every single morning!

  11. To sleep—perchance to dream. Ay, and give me a rub on my tummy!
    For in that sleep— what dreams may come,
    Dreams of Mice and Birds, and little bits and bobs of string and ribbon to chase
    These dreams Must give us paws!

    Catspear… the one and only, in his rousing play “Hamsterlet”

    Look at me I’m so Pretty, I’m so Pretty.

  13. dubyah1 says:

    He looks how I feel
    Every marmie morning.
    I need more Hank-shu’s!

  14. pamleblanc says:

    Hank would like a do-over on yesterday, please. I think he went on a bender.

  15. clara says:

    Rendered speechless — my addled brain can only think “SMOOCH NOSE! AND TUMMY! NOW!”

  16. Mary (the first) says:

    Haiku: “How to sleep”. By Hank. (ahem)

    My whiskers are bent
    My nose is ever so pink
    My paw shades my eyes.

  17. Diana says:

    Oh man, what a night.
    Did I embarrass myself?
    I don’t remember.
