It’s Cold, and My Cat is Obnoxious

She gets into these moods where seems to be intentionally looking for ways to piss us off. It seems like an attention thing, but I’m starting to think that it’s just her personality. She can be a real bitch sometimes. And then there are times that she can be so adorable (like right now, sitting on my lap and purring) and these so far have made up for it.
Ok, but this attention thing is starting to rob me of sleep. I just put up a surround-sound system, which involves two speakers above my bed (meaning wires that hang down). She didn’t touch them for the first couple of days, and then she started the other night… around 3 am. She somehow has ended up nocturnal and does things all through the night that wake me up. She scratches my couch, she knocks the wires against the wall, she attacks the cord for the window blinds, she plays with anything that will make noise that I haven’t thrown away yet and she turns my light on and off. That’s right, my cat knows how to jump up the wall and flip the light switch; and not just off as one might expect, but also on. I have no idea how she figured this out, or what kind of angle she has to hit that thing to knock it up, but she does it.

It’s supposed to get down into the 30’s tonight. That’s really cold for this part of Los Angeles. It’s really cold for me. I grew up in Missouri with actual winters, and I walked to school in shorts; but now I’m a little bitch any time it drops below 60. I have poor circulation and have to wear gloves when I drive to work in the morning. I’ll probably be wearing two pairs of socks tomorrow.

There’s quite a bit that’s been going on in my head, but I don’t think I’m ready to really get into it and process it via words yet. Soon, I hope.
