My cat will meow to wake me up. I reach over and put ear muffs on,that I use to use while target practicing.

When I lived in the city years ago,they would use a jackhammer every now,and then. That would drive me crazy if I was trying to sleep. I didn't think of the ear muffs till resently.

My cat will get a foot away from me on top of the sofa,and meow very loud. All I do now is put on those sound barrier ear muffs,and turn over on my side till I get comfortable on my pillow. The cat gives up soon after that,and I take the ear muffs off,or sleep with them on. BF
