Last night, well before going to bed, one of us (not saying who) was already racked out...
"Aw, he looks so peaceful," you're thinking. I was thinking: If he sleeps now, he's going to be awake during the middle of the night.
Yep. Somebody walked on me real early this morning - not saying who, but it wasn't Joan. The furry boy was ready to be up and about before 5:00. I laid there until 5:30 or so; until it was obvious I wasn't going to get back to sleep.
I got up and started my morning routine. Murph really wanted to go outside; wasn't interested in his breakfast. It was still dark, so I turned on the patio light and took him out. He wandered about a bit. I enjoyed the first light of the day, before sunrise...
Back inside after 6:30, he was finally ready to settle down and have a bite to eat. And now, he's settling in for a nap. Yeah, I really want to scream and dance around him... but, I won't... because I am a good cat Dad.

Isn't he cute..... Word for the day: crepuscular. It means most active at dawn or dusk and describes cats and their natural prey. I only know this from junk mail that comes for our cats-only vet. I always thought that cats were nocturnal (night active, day sleeper) while people are diurnal (day active). I guess when you sleep 20 hours a day and are hyperactive when awake, it is hard to categorize.
