Mazzy Madness

Those of you who know me know that my cat Mazzy (11years old) is a huge pain in the ass starting at around 3 AM begging for food. I can't remember when exactly this started some time in the past 4 years or so. I haven't gotten a decent nights sleep except when I'm not home in 4 plus stinking annoying horrible years!!
 

I'm exhausted.

I cant just lock her out since her meowing and scratching at the door will definitely wake the neighbors. That's the last thing I need. You've all heard that gem of a story.

This AM operation ignore Mazzy failed. I've this tried in the past.
I've also tried squirt guns. They eventually end up leaking in my bed which is just gross to wake up to. I am not against threats "I will punch you in your cat face" is my new one.

I worry my neighbors next door and below will riot and blow me in at our board meetings for the constant racket.  I'm a light sleeper I'd be mega-pissed if I lived below me.

So last night I prepped for battle.  I strategically place my new throw rugs under my vanity so there would be no perfume bottle casualties (she knocks them off spitefully to break them if I don't get up-yes she knows). She next moves on to my Yoda alarm clock (where I placed some sweatpants on the floor to break his fall). Then moved on to the plug with the light switch (this was a new one). Only after stepping all over my body in very painful ways I made my first acknowledgement to her punk ass.
 

I felt I HAD to eventually get up (5 AM) since she began to scratch on my new throw rugs. That signaled to me spiteful peeing and I has to bust a move out of bed to prevent this tragedy because I really like them (and they are brand spanking new).

Even when I get up to feed her at say 3:30 AM she is an epic pain in the ass production since my other high maintenance cat Pipa (has diabetes and gluttonous tendencies) lurks trying to steal Mazzy's non dietetic food.

So this brings us to Mazzy's in and out of the bathroom routine. I put her bowl down and close the door. She eats for a minute. Scratches to come out. This repeats until she's had enough or I just get tired and leave the door open then of course Pipa  moves in.

The only successful part of today's mission is having the wits about me to feed Mazzy in the bedroom. Where she apparently feels safe enough to eat all of her food without the scratching at the door BS.

I've played with her at night. I've fed her extra at night. Even on my going out nights when she gets fed super late she still starts in super early. I'm baffled how this even started going on 4 plus years with horrible broken sleep EVERYDAY seems worse than having a newborn. An 11 year old spoiled princess cat worse than a baby.  Perhaps.

I'm headed back to sleep Mazzy is peacefully sleeping at the foot of my bed. Maybe I should poke and prod her awake? I'd step on her if I wouldn't crush her so she'd know how awful that was.

But no I will let her sleep. Cuz you never know when she could hold it against you and spitefully pee on your new throw rug. It seems only a matter of time. 





Mazzy Sleeping look cute.


 
Most likely a reason for a spiteful pee spree.
