Looking mighty sleep deprived, huh?

Meow Again to all you Cat lovers

It's me "Smokey" adding to my diary.
I have been a very busy cat the last few days so I wasn't able to write here but i am here now to catch everyone up.
I have been sleeping alot because a cats gotta get his beauty sleep, ya know.
Well, let me tell you this.
I sleep on my human mama's bed. Her name is Mary and she is mighty sweet to me. We have been bed fellas for 9 years.
Well, it use to be only me and her back before she got into this rescue thing and we had this big queen size bed all to ourself. We slept so good back then.
Lordy mercy, when that woman got into cat rescue then what seemed like a BIG OLE BED became a place where you have to race to get a spot or your just outta luck!
Every night I have to share my sleeping space with mama "She sleeps all crunched up in the middle between all us cats who fight for her attention". But she dont mind.
I like to sleep on the pillow beside her head but that crazy cat named "Kuki" tries to get my spot every single night.
What a bed hog he is.

Then there is "Sisqo" the cat. He is a big long legged cat that just has to stretch out and take up half the bed and I personally think he is rude!
Just because he was born in London England, he thinks he is special or something.
Then there is Mama's spoiled girl cat named "Smores" who has a real attitude if she dont get to sleep right beside mama.
(Talk about grouchy) Whew, I dont wanna cross her cause she smacks hard and she has claws.

Then at the foot of the bed there is that cat named "Tommy Snow"
who mama jokingly calls "pa-no-no". Lord knows where she got that nick name from but I am glad it isnt mine.
REMIND ME TO TELL YOU ALL SOMETIME ABOUT ALL OUR NICK NAMES!!!
Tommy Snow is a spoiled boy who likes for mama to call him little cute names and sing silly songs to him.
When she starts that singing to these cats, I just roll my eyes and think "Lord, dont let her quit her day job for a singing career.
Then there is ole Boots with the weird looking tail.
I hear mama telling him how handsome he is and I think to myself "they just dont get anymore handsome than me" but of course she tells me I'm handsome too and I think to myself" Aint it the truth"!
Then if the bed aint crowded enough, here comes big ole Peppy who weighs about 25 pounds and he just plops himself down and dont care how many of us he knocks off the bed.
Sometimes little Lola comes into sleep with us and I try to make room for her because she is a sweet girl but "Shhhhhh" dont tell her I said that or it will go to her head.
Oh, I almost forgot the cat "Sonny". He is another one thats got to wiggle himself into what little room is left and then we all TRY to get some sleep but it sure is crowded.
I dont know how mama sleeps but God bless her, she does right by us all and I guess I should be grateful.
Well,I see that Peppy just jumped off the bed to go get a nibble of kitty kibble "like he isnt fat enough" so I am going to go hop in his sleeping spot while the spot is available.
Take care all you feline lovers and tell your cats that Smokey in North carolina, USA said MEOW.
Until next Time

Smokey
