1. Can confirm. This is a Thing That Happens.

2. She has that “ if you died and I was hungry, I could definitely eat you” look

3. If that’s the end of the cat that is pointed at you when you wake up, consider yourself lucky.

4. sweet kitty!

5. Been there, done that.

6. There’s a theory that the classic Space Alien face shape is from having kittens staring at you up close when you’ve just woken up, especially if you still have a bit of sleep paralysis.

7. Gah! Cat NOT doing Social Distancing!

8. That’s how I usually wake up in the morning, with my cat Lili staring at me. The thing is her eyes are always fully black, no matter how bright the morning is. And I always wonder…

9. I have two cats. This does happen sometimes but I guarantee I have never taken a picture. I usually just pet them. Sometimes I shoo them away depending on how badly I need to pee.

10. I can never take the picture. That would require moving the cat, which is a felony.

    I’ll see myself out.

11. What they say about pets resembling owners: The cat looks like a Scalzi to me.

12. Are you sure it’s cat and not a flerken?

13. It could be worse. My daughter’s (fortunately) small dog panicked completely when she was trying to do the core bit of her workout at home and hurled himself on to her, presumably to try and resuscitate her. She too has pictures…

14. That is social distancing for a cat…get over it.

15. I recognize that look it’s “There you are. Don’t you think it’s about time you got up to feed me?”

16. I’m impressed that you sleep with your camera. That’s dedication to the craft.

17. Whaddaya mean, “sometimes”?

18. There is a saying that pets often look like their human owners.

    I think this one looks like you were looking at a mirror. We should all be so lucky.

19. John – I’ll trade. One of mine bites me on the earlobe. She’s figured out the”Dad’s playing possum” game.

20. She has a very leonine nose!

21. My dearly departed Mary used to wake me by lightly placing her paw on my closed eyeball. She somehow discovered that this would bring about instant wakefulness and that the adrenaline burst would mean I couldn’t go back to sleep so I might as well feed her.

22. Spice?

23. I had a dream once where I was choking. I woke up to find the cat lying across my neck. No wonder they say cats are plotting our demise.

24. When my Zoey does this, she’s usually telling me that I need to rest and take care of myself. On Sunday, she planted herself, so I closed my eyes “just for minute” to enjoy the snuggles. Next thing I knew, it was 4 hours later. (I think she was right about my needing the nap.)

25. That weird blue light… *definitely* an alien visitation.
    I just wish our two new rescue kittens would come this close!

26. There is a theory that cats with a greater number of whiskers are more intelligent. If that is true, yours would seem to be high on the list.

27. Generally Sam sleeps next to me. What wakes me up is his experiments with gravity. They are to let me know the empty state of his food bowl is unacceptable.
