Morning Routine

My daily routine is something like this. Wake up in the morning, or is it shaken out of bed by my mother's screams. This is if my cats have not walked all over me and jumped on head. I trundle out of bed to the basin to wash up. While brushing me teeth, I try to catch the headlines, the only time of day I can.
Then I have a race with my 3 cats on who will go to the bathroom first. Yes, my cats are toilet trained. No, I did not train them. They sought of trained themselves, though sometimes Neville (the eldest and the only bobcat of the lot. How was the name reached is another long story. Maybe I can share it some other time) Most of the time I come out the loser in these contests. And even if and when I win, they have 1 major advantage, the threat of piddling in other places in the house. Mummy will have none of that, so I have to surrender the territory for some time to them. They need the bathroom clean or else they will complain to my mother. After each one has done his or her job, the place has to be cleaned with the water spray, pouring water will not do. There is an inspection done by them, only once they are satisfied, will they leave, and the other get ready to do her job. Can be called a cleanliness freaks these cats of mine. Only when all of them have finished their morning duty will I get a chance to have my beauty bath.
