LOL...the cartoon Simon's cat reminds me of my Blackie & Yin. Blackie would jump on my bed, pull my hair with his teeth or bite my feet through the comforter at all hours of the night through to dawn.
Yin would make all sorts of demands like clean the litter box that she has just used, feed her (there is a bowl of kibbles but she wants to be hand fed, kibble by kibble), or even telling me that there's a bird outside our window. Or, sometimes, she just wants a conversation. And if I ignore her, she would paw my arm, and if I still ignore her, stick her nose under my nose to check if I'm breathing, and sometimes even lick my lips to try to resuscitate me!
