Whoops, I woke myself up

That Mocha, she just loves plastic bags. Maybe it's the krinkly noise they make. Maybe it's because they get so warm when she lies down on them for awhile. Whatever the reason, she loves plastic bags. On my weekends, while she is under my supervision, I will often lay out a big plastic bag for her to sprawl upon.

The other day, she had spent several hours on that bag, and had once again fallen into a deep sleep. Suddenly there was a noise, and Mocha's eyes popped open. Too tired to get up, she lifted her head and started looking around, eyes half open. Finding nothing, she drifted off to sleep again.

Little did she realize that she had woken herself up.

My co-contributor taught me a neat trick with cats - call their name while they are sleeping, and their tail should twitch to signify they know their name is getting called. I do this often to Mocha, and her tail will not just twitch, it will do a full blown "whiplash." If she is lying on her side, her tail will go straight up, then come crashing down.

But this time, that tail came crashing down onto the aforementioned plastic bag, causing it to crinkle loudly, loud enough to wake Mocha up.

Poor cat.
I plan to do it to her again next time she's asleep on that bag.
