Incompetent Cat Burglar
A second-class annoying way to be woken up is to have a cat skritching and scrambling on the roof, trying to get inside through the attic-fan vent 4 meters from your head. I can say this from personal experience after last night. But how do I know it was a cat?
A first-class annoying way to be woken up is for your partner (me) to scream at the top of his lungs, at a cat-sized head appearing in the bathroom window when he's still mostly asleep, just after he was woken up by a skritching and scrambling on the roof.
Leading to high heart-rates all 'round the house, presumably including the cat's, but not for Rover, who slept through the whole thing.
Then, to add insult to... more insult, the cat didn't bugger off right away, but started monkeying with the attic-fan vent again five minutes later.
Neither d. nor I got to sleep for a while. Me, an hour; d., a bit longer.
Stupid cat.
