Alarm Clocks

I don't claim that our cat is smart. I actually think she's quite stupid. She's scared of cars driving up our street...when she's on the third floor balcony. She plays with anything that she can bat and then chase - for example a twist tie, or a paper clip. She always begs for bananas and tofu, but she doesn't like them. She's super cute, super sweet, but she's not smart.

Somehow, though, she figured out that alarm clocks wake us up. While I still can't figure out why she would want to wake us up on weekend mornings (since we usually get up, get out of bed, and she goes straight back to sleep...), she does. Yesterday morning and this morning, she was actually quite creative. On Matt's side of the bed she tried to bite the cord out of the back of the alarm clock - making lots of noise with each attempt. On my side of the bed, she tried to bite the buttons off the top of the alarm clock.

It does indeed make noise and wake us up, but what she doesn't understand is that alarms wake us up when we tell them too - not just for no reason. She needs to better communicate her reason for why we should get out of bed before we'll listen to a Kitty-induced alarm clock.
