who needs an alarm clock? cuz i have a cat!

it appears i don't need an alarm clock - i have merlin! my alarm is set for 5:10 in the morning. and every day this week, at 5:05, merlin jumps on my bed and headbutts me, sits on the pillow above my head, or whacks me in the face with his tail, all in attempt to get a couple of minutes of love and rubs before i get out of bed. its actually a lot nicer than the alarm clock!
