Irrepressible Perserverence

I apparently abused my cat a great deal last night/this morning.

Last night, I was plagued by nightmares - the biggest, most vivid one involved spider-vampire people.  They were creepy, crawling all over me, trying to bite me.  The worst of two things combined - creepy looking dead people hunched over and skittering around on four legs like a malformed spider.  I thought I'd killed them all but then one started crawling all over my back...

I woke up, completely freaking out as I felt something walking all over my back and I flailed around ... until my cat fell off the bed, meowing and completely freaked out in turn.  Apparently she'd been doing the "turn in circles before getting comfortable" routine and I rudely interrupted it by flinging her off the bed.

And then, when my alarm went off, I rolled over and planted a hand on the bed so I could lunge at the clock/then the fan - only to find myself not with a handful of mattress but a handful of kitty head.  I couldn't quite stop my momentum and - squish. -.-

She ignored me for the rest of the time I was home.

I have an elephant instead of a cat.  For something that doesn't even weigh 10 lbs, how on earth can she sound like an entire herd stampeding through my house?

Katz:  Look at me, looook at meeeee I'm super faaaast!  *throws self on bed*  HOLY CRAP THERE'S A BAG!  *proceeds to turn into KittyNeo/Nightcrawler so she can twist her body around and teleport to not land on the bag*
Bag:  ....
Katz: *stares at bag*
Bag:  ....
Katz:  *tries to eat bag*
Bag:  *RUSTLE*
Katz:  HOLY CRAP THERE'S A BAG! *goes tearing off the bed, back into the living room*
Bag:  *smug silence*
Me:  *sigh*

.2 seconds later...

Katz:  Look at me, looook at meeee....
*RUSTLE*

Me, my kitty and I. :)
