Today, while in deep sleep, I was suddenly awoken by a tickle on my face and nearly threw my cat off the bed. Apparently, 4 a.m. Is the perfect time to touch noses with your human. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up to the feeling of someone tickling my back. I quickly realized I haven't been touched in so long that I was smiling to flies landing on me in my sleep. FML
Today, I was messing with my cat by moving my hand around under the sheets to make it look like a mouse, making him pounce at it. Without thinking, I brought my hand up to scratch my nose and was immediately attacked by flailing claws. FML
Today, I got a kitten. She decided to sleep on my bed, waking me up periodically during the night by biting my face to make sure I was still alive. FML
Today, I realized the fastest way to wake up isn't from an alarm clock. It's from the warm, wet sensation of your old and senile cat peeing on you and your bed. I swear he was smiling. FML
Today, in the very middle of the night, my kitten started rubbing against my face. Thinking I saw her face in the darkness, I decided to kiss her before going back to bed. My lips made contact with her butthole. FML
Today, around 2:00 a.m. I had just sat down on my couch when I noticed one of my cats poking at what appeared to be a toy. I attempted to pick it up to play with the cat when it started to move like a mouse. I squealed like a girl and woke up my wife upstairs. I'm a 26-year-old man. FML
Today, as I was trying to fall asleep, I was jolted awake by my oldest cat who'd decided it would be perfect to power-puke all over my bed. FML
Today, I woke up to something tickling me. Thinking it was my cat, I reached under the covers to give her a friendly scratch behind the ears. I imagine the giant spider that was actually there enjoyed my terrified screams. FML
Today, I noticed my kitten was growling and twitching in his sleep. I tried to wake him up by gently prodding him. He responded by waking up and attacking my face. FML
Today, I was woken up by my roommates cat meowing so loudly at her door, wanting in. Suddenly it stopped. I was just falling back into sleep when I rolled over and the cat was right there beside my head. Meowing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

4am is about the time when your eyelids and other face muscles might twitch from dreaming. Your cat was probably drawn by the movement. Maybe it wanted to check on its favorite human's wellbeing. Or maybe the fur ball was about to viciously attack your twitching nose. With cats, it's a coin toss.

Of course! They gotta make sure you're still alive and so you can feed them in the morning!

In the morning? 4 am is prime cat eating time. The food tastes better if they woke up their person for it.

He was checking to see if op was alive, can't say for eating purposes. But my cat would do the same thing only when he felt me breathing he would sit on my face or my other cat start eating my hair. Cats are weird.

Mine just starts my beard for me (apparently my excellent grooming standards aren't high enough for my cat) whenever he decides its breakfast time until I give in and feed him. He will also loudly open and close cupboards, and literally climb my bedroom door if I refuse to move.

For my cat it would be the second option.

He was probably checking to see if op was alive. It was easier for my cats cause I sleep with my mouth open but he was making sure that op had air movement out their nose??

Optimal nose bopping is from 2-5 am. Including but not limited to: Nose to nose Paws to nose/face Tail to face "fuzzy swish swish" General cuddle time Welcome to the cat life and this might just be the first time you woke up. It happens alot

REM sleep?

My cats have been thrown more than once, and have since learned not to touch my face when I'm asleep. Hilariously, the older one has started tapping on my shoulder to wake me up.

If you react that way maybe owning an animal is not for you.

Seriously? OP didn't know what she was doing because she was *asleep*. She didn't mean to throw her cat off the bed.
