You Rang, Madam?

Smokey is my self-appointed guard kitty. He usually spends about half the night on a shelf above our bed, then sometime in the wee hours of the morning he jumps down & sleeps by my feet. Maybe there's a shift change & Sassy takes over, I dunno.

Anyway, last night he dropped his fuzzy mouse with a bell toy at my feet before jumping up on the shelf. Aw, how cute I thought. He brought me his favorite toy to play with before I went to sleep.

Not exactly.

All through the night, every time I'd turn over or move, the bell would jingle. Smokey would jump down, check to see if I was alright and then jump back up on the shelf. After about the third time, I got plumb tickled.

I've heard of people belling their cats. But no, mine has to be different.

He belled me.
