I Can Has Head Pillow?

I officially have the summer "off" which means that on average, I'm up by 8:30am on weekdays, maybe 9:30am on weekends. This morning, around 6:30am I was awoken by a loud rattling in my ears and a vibrating sensation all over my head; before I could reach for my phone to see what time it was, it became evident to me as the fog of sleep faded that the cause of all the ruckus was actually Foxy...curled up perfectly on my head. I can't fully express the weirdness of this sensation - at once comforting and sweet that she would choose my head as her resting place as well as the kind of teeth-gritting annoying that only something that fuzzy and that loud could induce. Before I could get mad, she shifted herself, maybe sensing my tension and her paw hit my mouth...bringing instantly images of her litter box to my minds eye.
I brushed her off my head and got up defeated. When I laid back down again a few minutes later and drifted back off the sleep it was short-lived...again, on my head, again, paws in my mouth, eyes, nose, again, annoyance and sleep deprivation. Rinse, lather, repeat until around 11am when John finally woke me up; my neck was stiff, my eyes felt like they'd barely closed, but up I got.

We'll see what tonight brings, but so far, my plan is to shut the bedroom door solidly.
