I’ve been waking up at about 4am roughly every morning for the last two years that it doesn’t even seem strange to me anymore.

But when I told Weens and Wevs this recently, they were mind-blown.

Here’s what happens.

I have the only cat in America who can’t cover his own shit and piss in the litter box. What does Covy do instead? He claws at the wall and the ground until he’s content. Exhibit A:

Covy is also a very well-hydrated lil boy. So Lil-Cov-Boy basically never goes a night without pissing (and sometimes shitting), and he almost always goes between 3am and 5am.

When he does his business I wake up pretty much instantly. And almost every single time Melon is laying on my legs, so I try my best not to disturb that little fella when I get out of bed. I then shoo Covy away, cover his piss or shit, drink water, take a piss myself, then gently get back into bed so Melon doesn’t get up.

I’d say out of 30 days I probably get up to do this for 29 of them.

Stories like these make people say “Why the fuck would you ever want a cat?” And I agree, I regret it every day.
