My 6:45am alarm didn’t go off on Wednesday. Luckily I was realised that something was amiss when I heard my phone buzzing with text notifications, which are only set to come after 7am.

When I checked through my schedule to find out what had gone wrong, I saw that my alarm was set for three of my four working days, and Wednesday morning simply said, “No alarm”. I have no idea how I managed to do that. Nor do I know how I was able to get up on previous Wednesdays if there was no alarm. 

When I realised I was late and rushed downstairs, I found Louis Catorze on the top step, in loaf pose, just sitting there, getting in my way and making me even later (only by a couple of seconds but it’s the principle).

The little sod always wakes me, without fail, between 6am and 6:45am, whether or not there is an alarm. On days when I really need my sleep because I have something important planned, he wakes me from 3am onwards, at fifteen-minute intervals. However, on that fateful Wednesday, he didn’t. 

WHY? It’s as if he were deliberately trying to sabotage me.

Oh, right.

Bastard cat.

    Were you supposed to stumble over him on the stairs, causing you further delay ?

      Pretty sure that’s exactly what he intended.

    I love the picture. Is it yours and if it is, do you know what Louis was it looking at?

      He was just staring into space. Air, ghosts, whatever!

        I can’t believe it. Not only are you living with Louis but also with ghosts 🙂 .

    I’m sure Louis just wanted to give you some extra comfy time in bed. You should reward him with extra treats today… 😎

    I wish my Arse Cat would give me a lie in. I’ve had to run away to that London to escape, and I still woke at 0400. Bastard.

        That’s what he thinks is a lie in. (Slowly getting drunk near Borough Market.)

    Maybe he had a late night chasing shadows.

      Sounds like the sort of thing he’d do!
