My housecatz lick my eyelids if I sleep in late, just to check if it's time yet. My daughter makes me at least ping her every day because: "We don't want to find you if the catz have had you for 3 days".
Catz are like that. You gotta be a little Klingon to own killing carnivores for pets.

My husband maintains that if cat owners were shrunken down to mouse-size that their cats would have no problem stalking, and then eating them.
