There I was last night, waiting in bed for Mama C to shut out the lights and join me at the usual time. But she was nowhere to be found. Apparently there was this thing called Sunday Night Football, and her favorite team was playing, so she was late to bed, though it was what humans call a “school night,” even if they’re too old for school.
I waited and waited. I groomed myself and killed time in other ways, before I finally gave up and went to sleep on my own, with the lights on.
About the only good thing I can say is that the New England Patriots won, so Mama C slept well. But I still prefer afternoon games, even though I don’t understand the game at all.

Dear Mr. Oxbow,
A passionate and loyal sports fan is something to behold! Their devotion to their team, or sports hero is very inspiring….except when you are “dog tired” and want to sleep. I guess the NFL wants to keep the west coast fans of football happy by scheduling these late nite games. This puts a furry feline like you in quite a dilema. Fortunately, you chose the common sense option of surrendering to sleep. Furry felines like you are well known to be full of commen sense! Did you ask Mama C how she felt on the day after??????

Interesting idea: can a cat be dog tired? 🙂 I’m pretty sure that was how Mama C felt the next day.
