When the claws come out... Watch your feet

 Goeie dag!(hello in Afrikaans)

Today is a very exciting day as today was an exam free day... THEY'RE FINALLY OVER!
*cue the marching band and party poppers*

So I thought to celebrate the end of exams, I would do a fun and easy post as opposed to the boring and stressful week that I have had so this post is something that mainly cat owners will relate to but others may do too.

Cat Quirks

1. They act like they want to play but when you get the toys out they can't be bothered
   Does nobody else experience this because I sure do! Margo (my cat) can sit there and yowl at hours on end, demanding to be played with and whether it's midnight or not, she quite simply does not care. When it actually comes to play with her however, she stands there and watches me quite simply not amused but low and behold, when I put the toy away she starts off all over again - Typical!
2. They seem to have empty bowl syndrome
   An empty bowl, not really your worst nightmare is it? You've probably just ate from it and that's why it's empty but to a cat - it's their greatest nightmare! No joke, the cat literally stands by her empty bowl even if she has just eaten and demands that it has to be refilled even though once it has been topped up with her delightful smelling food (not), she just walks away
3. They fall asleep in the most awkward of places
   So there I am, being the studious girl I am and trying to revise when none over but the world's biggest distraction comes up to me and decides to sit no where other than the laptop keys, making happy and content noises as she settles down. The problem with this however is that I don't want to wake her as otherwise she goes into loony mode and starts showing they symptoms of cat quirk one but at the same time, I really do need to use the laptop and also don't appreciate the endless amounts of cdhnujdwgeucabjs\bksxsujax2iw9q she has made by rolling around on the keyboard, trying to get comfortable.
4. They see your feet as a perfect practice for catching birdies
   So this cat quirk was the main inspiration for the blog title as I often find that if the cat gets her claws out, it's often on my feet when I am nice and cozy warm. Picture it, you're led in bed, finally falling asleep after what feels like hours of willing your eyes shut and you suddenly feel a piercing feeling in the bottom of your foot which feels kind of like a fork stabbing you constantly with an occasional interval where you can feel your toe being nibbled at. The worst thing about this however is if you try to sloooooooowly retract your feet back under the covers, she suddenly dives under too thinking that she's missing out on a potential feed that she can then 'lovingly' return home with.

So yeah...
THE END

(well done by the way to Alice, Holly, Sammi, Maddie and Emily who have also completed exam week)
