OMG! Phyllis looks so much like one of the kittens I fostered, Emmett, in this pic. I didn't see it before because of the orange/brown in her coat (he's straight b&w).
LOL, annf! The Simon franchise is one of my favorites!
Unfortunately, none of my current crew are of a mind to help me rise in the morning (and I could use it, night owl that I am!). doodlebean, I'm insanely jealous!
Rich, you look almost as content as Ms. Phyllis! Thanks for sharing, guys!

At least Phyllis isn't like Simon's Cat, who delivers a real wake-up call.
Well, a big HOWDY to these former IBKs! I've missed you, and sure have enjoyed these updates!
"My, what a big purr you have."
"The better to wake you with, my dear!"
I can't believe how they've grown! :)

LOL! This is pretty much my morning, except in stereo. Left hand on cat on belly, right hand on cat on nighstand next to bed.
Thank you so much for sharing these charming details of your life with the kittehs!

Getting up before 6 a.m. is disgustingly early even in the best case, but I might consider it if I got to wake up slowly with a purring alarm clock... I bet it beats those dawn/daylight lamps!

Aw! My little Esmerelda does the same thing. A bit before I'm ready to get up, she hops up next to me, motor running, head-butting get-ups! Love it!
