This morning I slept past the usual time I get up. I woke to my cat. He would gently tap my cheek once with his paw then sit there staring at me. I would barely open one eye and doze back off then he would gently tap my cheek once again. I am not sure how many taps it took for me to awaken fully but I remember three and it looked as though he had been sitting there for awhile just methodically tapping my cheek in a sneaky..'it wasn't me kind of way'.
I know he was hungry as usual but I thought it was quite the use of subterfuge for an animal. It was nothing less than sneaky. How did he come up with that if it's all about instinct? He has never done that before.
