Wake Up

Good news, the new cat has fully recovered and is getting stronger every day. She is also getting bratty! She will not let me sleep past 7 am and I am trying to come up with a way short of locking her out the bedroom that lets me sleep a little more.

The issue is that she will start licking my face (lips specifically) which is not all that cute after I start wondering how long it's been since she licked her butt. This morning I tried a number of techniques, none of which were successful enough for me to actually get back to sleep. The first, which I've tried before, was to lay at the edge of the bed on my stomach with my face turned outward such that she couldn't get in front of it without being on the ground. This works okay except that the rest of my body has to be on the edge as well, so I get worried that I'm going to fall off. This morning I also tried sleeping under the sheet (too hot), hiding behind a pillow (she walked over it), and covering my face with my hand (hand drifts away when I started to fall back asleep). Now I am considering making some sort of mosquito net hat/helmet.
