A copy-&-paste from an email I sent to a friend yesterday, describing life with my cats:
"Tablo's latest trick is to snuggle under the bedclothes with me, wait for twenty minutes until I'm just starting to doze off and then get up again, so that I wake up. Five minutes later she reappears under the bedclothes, and starts the whole process all over again. She did that continuously for SEVEN HOURS last night and well into this morning!
The pattern was only broken when Chequers, who'd been fast asleep at the foot of my bed all that time, took the opportunity caused by her 5-minute absence to come and lay on top of me. (Tablo was NOT amused when she returned!).
I then spent the next few hours trying to sleep with an 8 kilogram weight pressing down on my chest. As soon as he finally got off, Tablo dived under the bedclothes once more! (While all this is going on each night, Moonbeam will occasionally cry from downstairs because I'm not with him. I then have to call his name a few times to let him know that I'm still around). It's a wonder that I get any sleep at all!"
