Chandira wrote about her alarm cat, saying “I can figure out how she knows to wake me up a few minutes before my alarm goes off every morning.” And she even adjusts for weekends and daylight savings, which makes it even more of a mystery. Any animal behaviorists in the house? This is so intriguing.
Anyway, by another one of those weird coincidences, I happened to bump into this video (Simon Tofield’s short film ‘Cat Man Do‘ has been nominated in the ‘Best Comedy’ category at the upcoming British Animation Awards.)
And I swear they’ve been studying my Balu in order to make this.
The little bugger drapes himself on top of me to whack me upside the head (and I really must trim his nails), then as soon as I move, he’s off playing innocent.
Here’s a video of another Cat Alarm: same action, only more gentle!
Episode two of Simon’s Cat ‘Let Me In!‘ is brilliantly observed too.
Mico has this habit of standing on his hind legs and rapidly pummelling the glass door with that nails across a blackboard quality. Thomas once learned to flap a letterbox to get his personal slave to go open the door. My dad once altered the workings of a door handle, so that it lifted up to open, because our old cat Sue could open it the normal way. They all share one trait: wait till the end.
I know that these two episodes have already been seen millions of times, but it’s just so clever, I’m sure this cartoon will be truly massive if it’s continued.















LOL! I know, I love that cartoon, it’s so true to life. All the cat-servants in my office swear it’s their cat too.
Shara gets one claw sometimes, and pulls my lip, and the other morning, I was treated to a cold wet nose shoved in my ear, which was too cute to get mad about.
She has me figured..
She used to sit there and pull threads out of my bedsheets until she figured I’d given up caring.
Cats must exchange notes. I’ve had the claw in the lip too.
One morning I woke up with blood pouring from my earlobe and an earring missing. Balu was still on my chest.
Mico is the lad for purring and drooling in my ear.
