Those of us who are parents know exactly to what I am referring here.<\/p>\n<p>The same when you get a cat, only the cat will always be dependent on you and your schedule.\u00a0 You used to sleep in?\u00a0 Well, forget that in a hurry.\u00a0 Cats like to go outside to check out the perimeter early in the morning.\u00a0 They like to relieve themselves before their breakfast.\u00a0 They want breakfast at pretty much the same time every day.\u00a0 They like their sleep when they want it.\u00a0 Does this sound oddly familiar?\u00a0 I giggle every time I think about people who think that life will return to normal shortly.\u00a0 Not so with the cat.<\/p>\n<p>Keith used to get up to go to work at 4am every morning \u2013 naturally before he left he fed Mottel.\u00a0 Mottel loved him \u2013 he bounded around him all hours of the day when they met up.\u00a0 No sleepiness involved with either of them. You have to understand my husband \u2013 he was brought up on a farm when things had to be done at a certain time.\u00a0 And no matter what hour of the day, and no matter how physically tired he was, if he came in the door and his mother needed something doing \u2013 he would go back out in all weathers to keep her happy.\u00a0 Sleep in his life was a privilege not something accepted as a standard in his life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/amis-de-chat-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Debbie Nicholson<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debbienicholson.info\/losingsleepbecauseofyourcatpt6.m4a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here for your Audio link to this blog<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=DG9G3A3M6HCPW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/images\/life-happens-volume-1-3d.png\" alt=\"Life Happens Volume 1\" width=\"165\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Life Happens Volume 1 A Collection of Funny Emails and Facebook Messages Dating From The 1980s To 2012<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Favourite Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thewellgroomedpet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cathy&#8217;s Well Groomed Site<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/debbie-nicholson\/mininginspacept9\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Debbie&#8217;s Other Blog<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.catster.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cats<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.catster.com\/lifestyle\/5-tips-to-get-your-cat-to-let-you-sleep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Getting Your Cat To Sleep<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debbienicholson.info\/amisdechatbook2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amis de Chat Book 2<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=5QMBK9P5UQCEC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-174 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/506-694-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Amis de Chat\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/amis-de-chat-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Product Launch<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Then of course their welcome first son came along.\u00a0 And our welcome visit happened soon afterwards bringing to them gifts from home in New Zealand from their own parents.\u00a0 And all I remember from that visit is that famous line from our cousin\u2019s wife \u2013 \u201cI am just waiting for life to go back to&hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/losingsleepbecauseofyourcatpt6\/\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,1,32],"tags":[34,36,28,8,104,35,99],"class_list":["post-624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-debbie-nicholson","category-uncategorized","category-new-product-launch","tag-amis-de-chat","tag-cats","tag-debbie-nicholson","tag-life-happens","tag-losing-sleep-because-of-your-cat-pt-6","tag-new-product-launch","tag-sleep"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=624"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":630,"href":"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624\/revisions\/630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
