A devil at rest?

This morning cute cat woke me up. Now, being woken up isn't always so pleasant, but sometimes it can make you quite happy. Can't it?

Maybe when you are being woken up by a cute cat purring next to you in bed? But this is not what happened.

When you wake up, feeling quite fresh. But this is not what happened.

When someone you love brings you breakfast in bed? But this obviously not what cute cat did.

I'll tell you what happened this morning. Cute cat switched on crazy cat-mode around 6 AM, by meowing hysterically, and trying to get a glimpse of possible outdoors-activity going on. This was hard for him, since the curtains were shut, and it was dark outside. But this did of course not stop him. He tried to look hard at the curtains to make them move, when this didn't help, he tried to break out through the windows by scratching the glass and the window frames. And he did this to every window in sequence, repeatedly. I put a pillow over my head, trying to continue sleeping. Naïve, I must say.

He then started walking all over me, trying to bite my toes and catch my fingers (I was NOT trying to play with him, no matter what his version of the story might be). I removed the pillow, and tried to pet him. He was reluctant. He tried the windows again. Without positive outcome from this second attempt, he again walked over to me. I was snoozing in my bed, trying my absolute best to ignore him. What happened next is the following; he places himself next to my face, aims his cat arse towards the wall in front of me, and sprays. I tell you, if you're not awake before, this will really get you started.
