The momcat Mister Mittens is off the street. All cats are feral but this one has experience and no doubt was abused badly by some toms when she was still a kitten. She is on my bed tonight. I will roll under that huge garbage heap of blankets to grab some sleep tonight and the cat will get up, wait until the light is off and then walk up my left side. In the dark she will slam her rump into my left hip as she flops. I will reach out in the dark to find her head. I will pet her head and ears and she will lick my hand. She'll sigh and crash then while purring as I pet her off to sleep.



So what's the befuddlement? I still have no idea why that cat will be dancing upon my groin, head butting me or paw swatting my face before dawn for food. She should be rubbing my ears while I sleep.

What am I missing here?

The Mom cat is an early riser. Has her routine.

You are the servant.
