Johns snoring has blessedly reduced with the bedside addition of a personal humidifier. Its relative rarity led to an all out Cat Vs. Husband early morning cage match. And by cage, I mean My face at 6:30 AM. 6:24 AM: Cat resettles herself on my upper chest, paws tucked under, visible contented smile. Sleepy petting broadens smile, mama/kitty bonding ensues. Gonna be a nice morning once my hands work. Petting warm fuzzy animals helps this. 6:29 : Husband, half asleep, decides that looks snuggly, rolls over, proceeds to fall back asleep *on MY* pillow, uninvited. In his annexation of the already occupied pillow, he has weaponized both his morning breath AND gradually, as he settles into pillow Crimea, over the next minute and a half, snoring steadily increases. 6:30 AM: Visible disturbance of the cat. First gentle snore, she looks over at the offending noise, then settles back in. 2nd snore, she again looks over, with a decidedly dirty look, before turning back to me, making direct eye contact. 3rd snore, her head whips around at John, who is blasting us with everything hes got while cat is on BOTH my hands and my chest. His shirtless Putin impression has left pillow Crimea in dire straights. The neighboring nations are not amused. Clearly, the cat and I are on the same page, here. Never before has interspecies communication been so crystal clear. 6:31 AM: All hell breaks loose. 4th, epic snore- cat; both ears back, turns to John and with a raised lip that perfectly expresses her disgust- hauls off and punches John dead on the nose with considerable force. No claws. She showed restraint. This IS a rather delicate border war, after all. Still 6:31 AM: John wakes instantly, smacking cat in exact retaliation. Wakes fully. I took the cats side in this. SNORING AFFECTS US ALL.
