Or if you're thinking of getting a cat, the following is ALL true:
wake-up call

This is way too close to the truth. I have a 22 pound Maine Coon. Large, sweet, fluffy, dumb, and he INSISTS on sleeping on my pillow, wrapped around my head. And when it's time to wake me up, he gets obnoxious in many ways, starting with licking my forehead and moving on to forcing me off the pillow altogether...

I have the same problem with my wife's cat, except that the cat also has nightmares. When we wake up on Sunday morning, the Czarina has a crick in her neck from sleeping with a ten-pound cat atop her skull, and I wake up needing sutures from the times the cat kicked me in the face in his sleep.

Oh yes, Spirit is being loving when she bathes my forehead while I'm asleep (she's the prime groomer in the family), but then she moves down to my eyelids! Ouch!
