Don't let her sleep!

Not too long ago Jordan the cat was extremely obnoxious, more than usual.  Ginger's usually only annoying in the morning when she wants her daily Cat-Sip fix (crack-cocaine for cats), whereas Jordan basically is bothersome pretty much all of the time, except when she sleeps.  And, unfortunately Jordan perfers sleeping during the day.

Each night we feed the cats, Jordan in her kennel with her own private litter box, and Ginger in the same room as Jordan but with full privileges of said room. Since Jordan's nocturnal she bellows loudly for long periods of time, and rattles her cage.  If she had opposable thumbs I'm certain she'd drag a metal cup along her cell bars. 

Since her behavior on that particular night was particularly perturbing we decided we wouldn't let her sleep that day so that hopefully that night she'd behave herself.  The day was filled with, "Hey, Jordan, where are you?  Whatcha doing?"  "Oh no you don't, you can sleep all night..." and other such remarks.  I held her in my lap most of the day and would continually wake her up if she seemed to be nodding off.  It was a long day for all of us, but our diligence paid off!  Jordan the Annoying was quite all night long.
