On the first Sunday in November, Day Light Savings time ended for the year. And, we set our clocks back an hour. And while we may have ended Day Light Savings time, no one told the kitties about it.

And so, while we are trying to sleep at 4:30 AM, the kitties still think that it is 5:30. And so, they promptly jump up on the bed to wake us.

First they start at the foot of the bed and start walking slowing up us. Then, when they get to our head they stick their noses in our faces.

The other morning when that happened, I pulled the covers over my head leaving only a small opening for breathing. Not to be deterred, the cat proceeded to lay on my head and purr loudly.

Now, understand, the cats are not concerned that we have overslept. Rather, they are concerned about getting fed. So, we have two choices. Either we get up and feed the cats, or we put up with their annoyance for an hour.

And while we hate getting up an hour early just to feed the cats, we have found that we can go back to sleep quite easily once the cats have been fed. Besides, Day Light Savings time begins again in a few weeks and when that happens, the cats will no longer bother us.
