Here's a funny video for all you cat people: Wake up call

You'll never sleep with your eyes closed again.

That was awesome!! My cat would do that to me too!
Bonnie S. Oct 22, 2007, 9:18pm EDT
That was funny : )
Kimberly Ripley Oct 22, 2007, 9:20pm EDT
I knew it! I just knew they were up to something while humans sleep!
RK C. Oct 22, 2007, 9:29pm EDT
That explains a lot... :)
Pepsie J. Oct 22, 2007, 9:50pm EDT
Chuckles...
Ghostly Ghoul Oct 22, 2007, 10:00pm EDT
that cracked me up!
Helen C.D.~2009 ~. Oct 22, 2007, 10:13pm EDT
That made my day. I can just image my cats doing that.
The Red Headed Witch of Gather G. Oct 22, 2007, 10:16pm EDT
I think that is the funniest thing I ever saw. I will now post it to my Gather page. Thank you!
B F. Oct 22, 2007, 10:20pm EDT
I was just thinking I should set up a video camera to catch my cats in action, but now I am not so sure I really want to know... I think I'll continue waking up to a kitten tangled in my hair and the cat attacking the kitten...
Thanks for the roaring laughter!!!
John Philipp Oct 22, 2007, 10:31pm EDT
Glad everyone is enjoying it.
JoAnne D. Oct 22, 2007, 10:31pm EDT
That was great, I'll laff all night. Someone left some nasty comments though, too bad I thought it was reelly funny.
P.W. Dowdy Oct 22, 2007, 11:06pm EDT
John,

As president of the NAACP (NATIONAL ASSOCIATION CAT PERSONALITIES)

Be very careful of your sterotyping!

I'm sorry, pal. You set me up and I couldn't help myself!

I may be in bigger trouble than you.

Pat
P.W. Dowdy Oct 22, 2007, 11:09pm EDT
Well, I guess the acronym would be NACP. I'm really in trouble. CU.

If anyone asks about me, deny ever hearing of anybody named Dowdy.
DL "Duchess of Nonsense" Dzioba Oct 22, 2007, 11:24pm EDT
I saw this last night and woke up this morning with two cats pinning my legs down by laying on top of the covers on either side.
Luckily I had to wake up at stupid-early o'clock.
Suze P. Oct 23, 2007, 12:16am EDT
lol.. that's exactly what my cat does to me.. minus the bat action of course..
John Philipp Oct 23, 2007, 12:43am EDT
Me too, JoAnne, reely funny.

Sorry to set you up, uh, what was your name again?

Ok, Dominique and Suze, so I guess it isn't so far fetched after all.
Wendy C. Oct 23, 2007, 2:59am EDT
Not far fetched at all John, my male cats do that to me.. minus the bat (since there isn't one in the house) the younger of the two will resort to sitting on my face if I don't react within his time frame. The older one prefers to meow progressively louder and closer to my ear until his whiskers touch my face, until I get up. LOL
John Philipp Oct 23, 2007, 7:18am EDT
Wendy, looking at the comments this seems to be more common than people would have imagined.

The next question is: if a cat expects to be fed at 7:00 a.m., what happens when we return to Standard Time in a few weeks?
Michael the #2 Ninja Kitteh Oct 23, 2007, 8:17am EDT
FUNNY! And so like my cats. They will wake me up just to get me to move so they can sleep.
John Philipp Oct 23, 2007, 9:15am EDT
Tom and Michael, it cracks me up that this cartoon is so real to life for so many (me included).
Nana to Seven Cutiepies Oct 23, 2007, 12:09pm EDT
This is so typical at my house, minus the bat. I guess cat owners should hide the bats just in case. Our kitten likes to lick our noses too. This was too funny! Thanks for the chuckle.
John Philipp Oct 23, 2007, 1:35pm EDT
Anytime, Nana.
Layla Morgan Wilde Oct 23, 2007, 2:03pm EDT
This what happens at my house all the time...and worse ;-)
Kris M. Oct 23, 2007, 2:09pm EDT
This is why I shut Spike out at night -- he head-butts me to wake me up. It's better than an alarm clock, but I have trouble setting him, and he doesn't have a snooze button.
John Philipp Oct 23, 2007, 2:19pm EDT
Layla and Kris, it's sounding more and more like these cats belong to a union.
John Philipp Oct 23, 2007, 3:56pm EDT
Cute, Jules. As a wombat, you can can me anything you want. Welcome back to the neighborhood.
Kieran W. Oct 23, 2007, 5:33pm EDT
John ~ You must be a cat person? And it seems you enjoy line art? Now let us review ... a cat person who enjoys line art ... ... ... ? (Thanks for sharing!)
PAY IT FORWARD
Marian L Oct 23, 2007, 5:37pm EDT
That's just like my cats. They usually take turns annoying us in the morning.
John Philipp Oct 23, 2007, 5:46pm EDT
Oh, Marian, if they can double up on you, you might as well surrender now — but them you probably already have.

Kieran, am I missing a clever point in your comment? Been writing all day and the clever part of my brain is unavailable for consultation at the moment.
Midnite Writer -- Kim Oct 23, 2007, 6:36pm EDT
uh oh, watch your back! How you been?

I am a cat owner. Thanks for this.
Beverly T. Oct 23, 2007, 6:41pm EDT
Definitely, the person who created the cartoon was a cat person!!! So funny!
John Philipp Oct 23, 2007, 6:44pm EDT
Me too, Kim. You're welcome.

For sure, Beverly. I don't know who it was but I assume it says on the site somewhere.
Lauren C. Oct 23, 2007, 6:45pm EDT
LOL, that's making the rounds! I've now seen it go by twice...
John Philipp Oct 23, 2007, 6:56pm EDT
Hi, Lauren. Well, as you can see above, Melissa for one expropriated it. But, hey, it isn't mine. I'm just pointing.
Kieran W. Oct 23, 2007, 7:56pm EDT
John ~ I expected you to derive something clever from it ... sorry to tax your brain for no apparent reason, lol. Perhaps it could go to him being a "FeLine?" (That's the best I can do, lol.)
PAY IT FORWARD
John Philipp Oct 23, 2007, 8:36pm EDT
Ok, Kieran, I like "FeLine."
Heather R. Oct 23, 2007, 10:26pm EDT
Oh I love it! lol
John Philipp Oct 23, 2007, 11:46pm EDT
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Heather.
John Philipp Oct 24, 2007, 10:59am EDT
None of them are, Danielle.
Genine Hopkins Oct 24, 2007, 1:22pm EDT
OMG! Isn't that MY cat?
John Philipp Oct 24, 2007, 1:23pm EDT
Genine, from the comments I thinks it's EveryCat.
Gillian N. Oct 24, 2007, 9:27pm EDT
This video is priceless! I swear, I think our cat made this video himself... This used to happen to Robert every morning, including the smacks in the face with a flat paw, until the cat shot himself in the foot (well, not *literally) by pissing in Rob's shoe as his final retaliation for not getting fed at 5:00 a.m. (This must have been his own creative version of the baseball bat routine.) That was the last night the cat was allowed to sleep in the bedroom with us. Now he just throws himself at the closed door and howls...ARGH!
Gillian N. Oct 24, 2007, 9:31pm EDT
[...read it over and realized he didn't just shoot himself in the foot, he shot Rob in the foot too! ar ar ar... *sigh* Cat humor...]
John Philipp Oct 24, 2007, 10:51pm EDT
Gillian, I think shooting oneself in the foot is a human skill not a feline one.
Gillian N. Oct 25, 2007, 2:09am EDT
Well, as illustrated, I don't think an actual gun is necessary if you've a) got good aim and b)you manage to get yourself locked out of the bedroom instead of getting the stupid humans to feed you... ;)
John Philipp Oct 25, 2007, 7:12am EDT
Point well stated, Gillian.

A general comment: I wonder if the late-night cat surfing network is passing these and other comments around and getting a good chuckle?
[For those to whom this is a vague reference, it is explained in How old is your cat?\]
Bundy P Nov 1, 2007, 6:20pm EDT
A little too familiar!
John Philipp Nov 1, 2007, 7:13pm EDT
Know what you mean, Bundy.
juley g. Apr 1, 2008, 10:38pm EDT
Hahahaha! That was great!
John Philipp Apr 2, 2008, 9:42am EDT
Glad you liked it, Juley.
